She also oversees the flow of the office to make sure patients are receiving the utmost attention in the most efficient manner. She is a bona fide native Arizonan. Kelsie's sense of customer service, as well as a deep interest in wellness, have made her a perfect fit at Hope Family Wellness & Chiropractic. Although Kelsie has always been interested in wellness and was a competitive fast pitch softball player, it did not become a priority to her until she started working at Hope Family Wellness. "Years as a competitive fast pitch softball pitcher had made me realize the impact your lifestyle has on the body, even starting at a young age. If I knew then what I know now, I would have dragged my parents to take me to the chiropractor. It is such an important aspect of everyone’s lifestyle, especially for children.” Kelsie feels that when people treat the body with respect, they experience a more fulfilling and enjoyable life. By eating natural, wholesome foods, by getting the proper amount of sleep and exercise, and ensuring your body is free from nerve interference, you can live up to your potential. Kelsie uses her youthful energy and great sense of humor to help our patients share her foundation for wellness.
