Kelly Joyce MSN, CPNP-PC

Kelly is a native Californian, but spent her childhood in Breckenridge, Colorado. She loves all things outdoors: skiing, mountain biking, trail running and ski mountaineering. She was fortunate to be raised by a dietitian in a family that celebrated health and instilled in her a tradition of using food as medicine.

After recovering from multiple concussions in her youth, Kelly chose to devote time to educating kids on head injury prevention and educating parents on the potential chronic physical and psychological effects. This experience, coupled with her time spent in Panama working with communities to promote nutrition and health sustainability in schools, led Kelly to pursue a career in pediatrics.

Kelly received her Bachelor’s degree in Global Health from UCSB, including a semester at Kings’ College London, and graduated from Yale as a pediatric nurse practitioner. Kelly has most recently worked in emergency medicine in Colorado and at the Pulmonary, Cystic Fibrosis, and Sleep Study Center at UCSF. Kelly is thrilled to be back to her family roots in Santa Monica, helping kids and families stay healthy and whole.
