Being highly proficient in this industry she was able to travel around the United States in her early 20’s for a few years able to obtain jobs all around the states to further her traveling endeavors. When she needed some money here and there bouncing from town to town, she would tell jokes for money to get to her the next destination. After a few years on the road, she decided to come back home and met her now fiancé Nick. Few years into dating they uprooted their lives to go live and learn how to take care of a farm in Costa Rica. Living on a sugar cane and Tilapia farm at one point, Kelsie obtained skills that will hopefully further her dream of owning her own farm one day. Then going to a fully self-sustaining farm with cattle, chickens, horses, herb and vegetable gardens she learned about her love for the simpler yet hardworking life she truly desires. After spending 8 months in Costa Rica, she came back and once again went back to what she knew best, restaurants. Then a year later she had her son Felix and while being pregnant with Felix is when she had done much needed soul searching and knew she wanted to become a massage therapist. Being in the healing arts is where Kelsie had also seen herself, just took a bit for her to understand exactly where her talents were needed. Shortly after having Felix she went to Gwinnett College of Massage and got her certification in massage therapy.
