Kelly grew up in Boston's North Shore and received her BS from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She had long been interested in skincare, but an internship at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute’s Look Good… Feel Better program confirmed she wanted a career helping people feel better about themselves, inside and out. Kelly went on to receive her esthetics license in 2003 from the Elizabeth Grady School of Esthetics, graduating at the top of her class.

Kelly’s continuous education approach includes certifications in chemical peels, skin biology and physiology, microdermabrasion, various lasers and IPL machines as well as advanced facial massage techniques.
