Highly recommend no matter where you live! And here's why...you know when have too much going on in your life, sleep poorly, stare at your computer and keyboard all day, fake smile during meetings you don't need to be at, and binge eat energy bars...And then one day you wake up and years have gone by, your shoulders seem like they're attached to your ears, your back hurts, your breathing is shallow, and and you can't remember what it was like to even wake up "feeling like a million bucks?"
Yeah, so that was me like a year and half ago, and I decided I had ENOUGH. It was time to take charge and actually break the burnout pattern. To help manage the stress in my body, I decided to invest in a few things: Regular chiropractic adjustments Massages Meal planning Vegan ice cream
I started seeing Dr. Kelly first for chiro, and when I realized that they also offered massages, it felt like I found my 2nd home.
First off, the office is this serene surprise in the heart of Capital Hill. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was in a spa. Amy or Gina at the front desk are the most welcoming and accommodating, and honestly know more about my insurance than me...Still do!
Dr. Kelly was able to easily help me identify where my pain was coming from, and also provided exercise and posture suggestions to help me manage the pain outside of the office. Dr. Kelly is awesome at adjustments, therapeutic body work, a great communicator, and with Covid, takes all the precautions to help patients like me feel safe and healthy.
I worked with Owl for massages, who is extremely attentive and focused and makes sure I am also comfortable, warm enough, and aware of what is going on. Owl also has the best laugh in the world and helps me feel more relaxed.
I've since moved across town further away from Flourish, and you know what, I still drive to Capital Hill for my chiro and massage appointments....And not just because Frankie and Jo's is nearby, but because Dr. Kelly, Owl, and staff have been there with and for me during some of the most stressful times of my life here in Seattle. They've adjusted and worked me through it, and I'll be...
Read moreI’ve been a patient at Flourish for years now. Dr. Kelly is such an empathetic, knowledgeable, caring, and skilled practitioner! Her approach is holistic and includes not only adjustments, but also modalities like hot stones, soft tissue work, cupping, foam rolling, exercises, lymphatic drainage, and the use of an activator tool.
Ever had a doctor who dismissed your concerns and didn’t listen to you? The Flourish team is the exact opposite! Dr. Kelly truly listens to her patients and wants to get to the root cause so patients can heal, not just put a bandaid on it/treat the symptoms. It’s such a breath of fresh air compared to the standard/allopathic healthcare experience.
The massage therapists are amazing too, and prices are reasonable (especially for this neighborhood). My favorite, Javier, just came back to the practice. He has a calming presence, strong hands, and always zeroes in on the knots and melts them away. Kim is also amazing and sometimes her adorable little dog is with her (no issues with barking or distracting behavior).
You can schedule (and even cancel and reschedule) your own appointments via the Schedulicity app, which is super convenient.
Or of course, you can schedule with the front desk. They’re always kind and effective at their work. I can tell that the support staff are respected as humans and that they are encouraged to prioritize self-care. It’s important to me that the businesses I patronize treat their employees well. I’d recommend working there to a friend in...
Read moreChiropractic Care Review: I have been seeing Dr. Kelly as needed for some time now as I have sporadic low back spasms that can be pretty debilitating. I kept meaning to write a review because she's one of the most talented chiropractors i've ever experienced. Dr. Kelly really hears you when you share what is going on with your body. She is able to figure out root causes of issues instead of just addressing things at a surface level. I feel so cared for as Dr. Kelly has not only helped me in the peak scary moments of back spasms, but has given me tools to strengthen and repair long term. I would recommend Dr. Kelly to anyone.
Massage Review: I am 37 weeks pregnant and have had some recent shoulder tension that wasn't going away. I've had a few massages while pregnant, all done side-lying, that were disappointing. Mostly because being on your side doesn't offer the same relief as being able to fully relax on your stomach or back. Owl at Flourish had special pillows to allow me to lay on my stomach and then flip over to my back - the first time I felt fully relaxed in a long time. Not only was he super accommodating given i'm so late in pregnancy, he is also an INCREDIBLE massage therapist. I'm so grateful to have found him at Flourish and hope to squeeze one more massage in before baby comes. For anyone looking for prenatal massage at any stage in pregnancy, or even non-pregnant people, I highly...
