About Me


Nicole Kelley, RN, NC, BCHHP

The Nurse Wellness Warrior


I grew up in a quiet California beach town, roller skating the strand with the ocean breeze in my hair and riding hunter/jumpers that taught me resilience, discipline, and deep intuition. For a long time, I thought my path would be veterinary medicine — but life led me to nursing, and eventually to the adrenaline-charged world of the ER.



The ER Years: Strength in Survival Mode

As a trauma nurse, I thrived on adrenaline. Crisis care was fast, powerful, and life-saving. But behind the adrenaline was depletion.


I’ll never forget:

  • Patients carrying bags of pill bottles, chasing symptoms and side effects.
  • Parents juggling sick kids with no real education on prevention.
  • Women in autoimmune flares and hormone chaos being told “that’s just how it is at your age.”


When a physician once told me, “Patients don’t really care about their health,” I knew differently. They did care. They just weren’t given the tools.


That realization changed everything.

My Turning Point


Watching my own mom be dismissed by conventional medicine — told she could keep drinking wine to relax despite her diagnosis — planted a seed in me. Losing her to stroke cemented my conviction that we needed a better way.


I wanted more than crisis care. I wanted root-cause healing.



So I stepped beyond the ER and pursued nutrition, holistic wellness, and toxin-free living. I became a Board-Certified Holistic Healthcare Practitioner, earned my Nurse Coach credential, and started my own healing journey outside the hospital walls.


My Healing Journey


I had followed keto for decades — but the wrong way. I was chasing skinny, not health. Blind to toxins. Disconnected from my own body.


Everything shifted when I embraced clean keto and ketovore nutrition: whole, anti-inflammatory foods without toxins. Done right, keto became a healing framework — not a diet.


The results were life-changing:

  • Stable blood sugar and steady energy.
  • Relief from pain and inflammation.
  • Clearer focus and lifted brain fog.
  • Hormone balance through perimenopause.
  • A reconnection of body, mind, and spirit I had been missing for years.


Beyond Food: Toxins, Trauma, and the Body’s Wisdom


Healing is more than food.


  • Toxins hide in seed oils, alcohol, plastics, and beauty products.
  • Emotional toxins — unprocessed trauma, generational stress — lodge themselves in the body.


I’ve seen how these unresolved burdens manifest: hip pain, hormone imbalance, autoimmune flares, exhaustion. The body speaks what the soul is holding. True healing means addressing it all — body, mind, and spirit.

The Wellness Warrior Method


This is why I created the Wellness Warrior Method — a seven-step framework designed for women ready to reset, reclaim, and rise.


It combines:


  • Functional labs (hormones, gut, nutrient, inflammation) for clarity and personalization.
  • Clean keto, ketovore, and whole-food nutrition.
  • Gut, hormone, detox, and immune system support.
  • Nervous system alignment and chiropractic care (with my husband, Dr. Gail Kelley, DC, at Eagle Freedom Chiropractic).
  • Movement, strength, and resilience training.
  • Toxin-free living strategies.
  • Tools to release trauma and reconnect body, mind, and spirit.


This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. It’s a personalized roadmap, grounded in science and guided by soul.


Why I Work With Women


I focus on women in their 40s and beyond because I’ve lived it. The exhaustion, hormone swings, and cultural lies that tell us to keep pouring from an empty cup. I know what it feels like to lose yourself, to numb with wine or busyness, to feel betrayed by your own body.

But I also know the freedom of reclaiming health.


And I see it in younger women too — burning out by their early 30s, exhausted from years of stress and self-neglect. The path forward is the same: clear the toxins, reset the foundations, and reclaim the freedom you were created for.



Why Work With Me


I’m not here to hand you another diet plan or “miracle” supplement. I’m here to give you the tools, education, and empowerment I wish every ER patient had been given.


I bring:


  • The clinical edge of nursing, labs, and functional medicine.
  • The holistic depth of herbalism, toxin-free living, and nutrition science.
  • The lived experience of walking this journey myself.


I am the Nurse Wellness Warrior.


And I’m here to remind you:


✨ You were not created just to carry. You were created to thrive. ✨
