Growing up around the beauty industry, she developed a fascination with how daily skincare habits could transform the skin over time. That curiosity eventually led her to pursue professional training at the Douglas J Aveda Institute, where she began building the foundation of her clinical aesthetic career.

Patients appreciate Kelsey’s calm presence and educational approach. She believes the best results come from consistency, patience, and a plan designed around each patient’s unique skin goals. Many of the patients she treats are simply looking to feel like themselves again, with healthier, clearer skin that reflects how they feel on the inside.
For Kelsey, the most rewarding part of aesthetics is the human connection. She values the opportunity to educate patients, celebrate their progress, and play a small role in helping them feel more confident in their own skin.
Outside the clinic, Kelsey enjoys yoga, traveling, reading, and spending time with her dog Sonny, as well as staying active at the gym and connecting with friends and family.
