After a 35 year full time career in a fast-paced distribution business, Kelly retired. Then she met Dr. Lorna Deveau from Peak Energy Chiropractic… and the rest as they say is history. Kelly brings to the clinic a solid business work ethic, professionalism, and most importantly a goal to ensure every client is greeted with a smile and a bit of humor! Kelly spends her days off trying out new recipes on her husband, singing/playing guitar, meeting up with friends or family for the opportunity to golf, or just get caught up over a cup of tea. Kelly believes she is no longer the only girl in a family of three brothers, as she has adopted her awesome, highly skilled Peak Energy co-workers as her extended family.
