Hi! I’m Dr. Kelly

& I LOVE WHAT I DO!

I’ve been a physical therapist for nearly 20 years, and I’m just as passionate about helping people today as I was when I started. After spending years working in traditional clinics and insurance-driven models, and not being able to find the care I needed for my personal health issues, I realized my patients deserved more — more time, more personalized care, and more focus on true healing.

I don’t believe in treating people like a diagnosis or just a body part. To truly feel your best, you need care that looks at the whole person. That’s why I blend traditional physical therapy with complementary, holistic approaches — so you can heal fully and get back to living the life you love.

I’ve lived in Southeast Wisconsin my whole life and met my husband (of over 20 years!) back in high school. These days, we’re busy raising our three kids — visiting our daughter at college and cheering on our sons at baseball games.

Opening a healing space right here in our community is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

Thank you for trusting me with your care and journey to health and wellness!

You’re in Good Hands

Some physical therapists may offer pelvic health, lipedema, or lymphedema services after completing only brief, weekend-style course—sometimes not even in person. Others rely on short, outsourced trainings for techniques like dry needling. These limited approaches can result in one-size-fits-all treatment plans that don’t lead to lasting relief.

Dr. Kelly has invested hundreds—if not thousands—of hours in advanced education and hands-on training to provide thoughtful, individualized care. Her depth of experience allows her to look beyond quick fixes and deliver treatment that is both comprehensive and effective.

Better Care , Where YOU Come First

Working with a specialized provider means you get more of what actually helps you heal — longer one-on-one sessions, personalized care, and access to wellness-focused treatments that aren’t usually covered by insurance.

Ever had a PT spend 10 minutes with you, then hand you off to a tech or a machine?
Yeah… you won’t find that here. Your care is always hands-on and tailored specifically to you — no cookie-cutter plans or rushed visits.

And here’s something many people don’t realize: With longer, more effective sessions from a specialized provider focused on YOUR goals, it could mean fewer visits overall — which saves time, money, and frustration.

Here’s the best part — you don’t have to be injured or in pain to come in! Whether you’re looking for preventative care, pregnancy and fertility support, Lipedema coaching, or just want to move and feel your best, we’re here for it. Think of The WellNest- Physical Therapy & Wellness as your go-to space for movement, health, wellness, and recovery — no doctor’s referral or red-tape required.
