Acupuncture & East Asian Medicine Practitioner

My treatments are rooted in the fact that everyone has the ability to heal. I use the tools of Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine to help patients revive that ability and find their own truest path to health. I have been able to work with many patients to help them recover from traumatic injury and illness, chronic pain, mental/emotional imbalance, seasonal allergies, headaches, reproductive health concerns, strains, sprains, and repetitive motion injury. I use a combination of acupuncture, e-stim, dietary therapy and acupressure according to the needs of each individual. I strive to make a clear connection and meet my patients where they are, working towards their defined health goals.

Acupuncture & East Asian Medicine is my passion. This is the fruition of a long journey in which I learned a way of interpreting the natural environment, finding patterns in that nature and seeking to improve well being by living in accordance with those patterns. This is the system of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I am so grateful for this amazing tool that helps patients to feel better, live without pain and maintain a greater state of wellness.

I am a graduate of the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine with a Master's in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and of the University of West Florida with a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies. My origins are the beautiful coastal and river regions north central Florida, which I still love dearly and try to visit often. Before entering graduate school, I went to Alaska, working seasonally and generally romping around up there for a few years. I have now found my home, attracted by the great natural landscapes and inspiring culture of Oregon, which I try to engage as often as possible.

As a heavy highway road laborer Kelly was long familiar and a regular chiropractic patient and then she moved to the Pacific Northwest and experienced a few health setbacks that weren't easy to fix or find answers for.  Then she experienced naturopathy and traditional Chinese medicine that not only fixed her problems but gave her empowerment through patient education.  After that the dye was cast and she began her own journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine as a growing curiosity gave rise to a passion regarding the body’s own innate healing processes and holistic approaches to healing. Her philosophy toward patient care is one of  trust, mutual interaction and patient education.  Kelly considers herself a cat woman and interests include the outdoors, hiking, gardening, beekeeping, and drawing and painting.  

Education: A graduate of the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in 2007 and received her National Board certification (NCCAOM) and Oregon State Acupuncture license in 2008.
