Originating from North Carolina, Kelly recognizes the excitement and stresses that life as a New Yorker can be for a person. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill- with a degree in English, Theatre and a Minor in Women's Studies. While at Carolina, she sang Opera and acted in over 16 shows and musicals. She has been a teacher and vocal teacher at the Governor's School in North Carolina and is thus aware of the body's methods of holding stress where we least expect it. Having a Masters in Fine Arts from Columbia University in New York in Theater has helped her to recognize how to better use her body ad help others use theirs as well. Her training utilized that of the Grotowski, Alexander, Feldenkries, and Linklater (with Kristin Linklater) methods to gain and maintain an active awareness of mind/body awareness and health. In her spare time, she is an avid hiker and enjoys yoga and traveling.
