"Kelly took me on full-time to rehabilitate my legs after an apartment fire that led me to having six skin graft surgeries and a six week hospital stay. Doctors were skeptical if I would ever play college football again, but that didn't stop Kelly from motivating and training me for 5 months everyday to go from a hospital bed to the football field and even starting the first game that year. I played college football for three years after this incident, never missing a game thanks to Kelly's consistency and attention to detail to keep me healthy throughout my college career. Without Kelly, I would have never played football again."

"I have had the opportunity to work with Kelly in sports medicine for nearly two decades. Her ability to evaluate an injury, put a treatment plan in place, and achieve the desired outcome is outstanding. Her ability to push an athlete to follow the plan and get back to play is something to watch. Now Kelly is beginning a new chapter in her life as an independent provider of injury care. I fully support this decision and eagerly await to see her meet this new challenge."

"Kelly was my athletic trainer for three years at Northwest Missouri State University. I have full confidence that she can help with the prevention and care of any type of injury because of her vast knowledge and experience. When I fractured my ankle, Kelly listened to what I had to say, examined me, then helped me on the way to a full recovery while encouraging me to stay in shape. If there is a situation when Kelly feels she needs additional information or support, she has a large number of resources and contacts in the medical field who she can consult with. Kelly is the first person I would contact regarding any injury because she is amazing!"
