about kelsie harris, office admin
Hi friends! I’m Kelsie, and I am so excited to be a part of The 417 Female!
Here is a little about me... I am lucky enough to be married to my very best friend Bryce. We were high school sweethearts. (Awwwww!) I love dogs, and we have two pups, Bruiser & Chica.🐾 I am an aunt to 8 perfect little humans, and being an aunt is my most cherished role. I also love hiking and experiencing new places in this beautiful world we live in, being captivated by a great story in a good book, and football (watching football that is, unfortunately I was never good enough to play 🤪).
I am passionate about women’s health and feel honored to work with these pelvic floor therapists who are doing so much good for the women of the 417 community.
