The Mind-Body Connection Podcast:

Achieving a balanced lifestyle doesn’t have to be a dream. And wellness doesn’t have to be an activity you save for downtime. Instead, elevate your personal and professional life with the tips, tools, and insight to holistically support healthier habits. Join Dr. Kelly Davis in The Mind-Body Connection for enlightening conversations, inquisitive panel discussions, and illuminating stories from experts in the medical and healing communities who are leading the movement toward a holistic approach to health.

Dr. Kelly Davis, founder of Hands On Health in New Orleans, Louisiana, has over 15 years of experience as an orthopedic manual physical therapist. She bridges a distinct gap in healthcare, weaving together integrative healing and manual therapy to treat each patient’s mind-body-spirit while remaining rooted in a scientific, evidence-based approach. Her true passion for exploring our biopsychosocial ecosystems is exemplified through her work, helping her patients break through their limitations to feel healthy and whole again and achieve an internal state of balanced healing.

Join us where we interview Dr. Allison Daly, Physical Therapist, Entrepreneur, and Founder of Optimal Kinetics in New Orleans, LA.
