Kelsey grew up in El Centro, CA and moved to San Diego to attend San Diego State University (Go Aztecs!). She obtained a B.S. in Kinesiology with a minor in Business Marketing at SDSU, and then went on to receive her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at University of St. Augustine in Austin, Texas. She received the designation as a Board Certified Pediatric Clinical Specialist in the field of physical therapy in 2021, a designation held by less than 1% of physical therapists.
Kelsey loves working with the pediatric population and having the opportunity to cheer kids on and celebrate their successes. She enjoys empowering families to help kids achieve their goals, being creative with treatment interventions, helping kids enjoy movement, and making therapy play-based and fun.
In her free time, Kelsey loves taking dance and spin classes, and spending time doing anything outside. She especially loves going to the dog park, beach and on hikes with her husband and puppy, Sevro.

Eva is a San Diego native. She graduated from Loma Linda University with her Masters in physical therapy and has practiced physical therapy for 30+ years! Eva's first job as a physical therapist was as a commissioned officer in the United States Air Force.
Eva is a Certified Primitive Reflex Clinical Specialist (CPRCS). This certification involves an emphasis in neuroplasticity treatment which enables the brain to form new pathways. These new pathways will equip each child's nervous system to generate improved motor output and thus grant the child the ability to achieve gross motor skills.
When not working, Eva lives with and cares for her elderly parents, is very active in her church, and loves kickboxing. As challenging as it may be at times, she finds her greatest satisfaction in being a caregiver, whether that's in the home of a child, assisting an elderly person out in her community, or in her own home.
