Meet Kelly Kennedy

Scaling a group practice, leading a sorority of high maintenance women during college, serving as Department Chair of a collegiate clinical program, and managing a nonprofit committee have taught me that leadership is a skill and mindset. Although leadership is rewarding, it can be lonely and emotionally taxing. Creating a space to support emerging group practice owners to serve the needs of their community while also keeping a healthy work-life balance is something you deserve.

In 2023, Wellness Practice Collective, LLC launched to offer concrete administrative support, education opportunities, and consultative services to aid clinicians in “leveling up” their practice.

• Creating Systems in Practice
