She has worked with many clients who have disabilities, chronic health problems or who are in the process of adjusting to a life-changing event, illness or injury.

In her free time you can find Kelsea reading a book in a coffee shop, roaming the Greenbelt when the weather is nice, spoiling her 2 elderly cats or throwing a ball for her golden retriever.
