Kelly began her professional career as a paediatric nurse in 1985. Her passion for health and Eastern philosophy saw her interest gradually shift to Oriental Medicine. In 1992 Kelly completed her Bachelor of Applied Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which included acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and Tui Na. Kelly furthered her studies in China and, later, in Japan where she was introduced to Japanese Meridian Therapy. Since then Kelly has specialised in Japanese Acupuncture.

Kelly completed her postgraduate studies in the Dr. Yoshio Manaka Protocols, Kiiko Matsumoto’s Clinical Strategies and the Toyohari style of acupuncture under various Japanese teachers. In 2007 she commenced her advanced studies in Toyohari Research, which she completed after a year of intense training. Due to her paediatric nursing background, Kelly has developed a keen interest in the treatment of children with acupuncture (Shonishin), as well as in pregnancy and post partum support. Other areas of specialisation are infertility (including IVF support), anxiety disorders and stress management. Kelly is a Fellow Member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (ACCMA) and founder of the Ondol Oriental Medicine Clinic.
