When I moved to Manhattan Beach I knew I had to find a chiropractor that just wasn't a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, but much, much, more. Dr. Kelley turned out to be that person. Her expertise is not just confined to the ancient healing arts but has expanded into newer technologies as well. The coming together of old and new technologies in different combinations are a win win in my book. After a recent bicycle accident I bee lined it to her office to have her start treatments on me. I knew I had to get x-rayed to make sure I didn't have any fractured ribs which, fortunately, I didn't have. Her use of acupuncture and Bemer device got me up and running sooner than I expected. Walking out of her office after each session I noticed a marked improvement. A big thank you for assisting me in my healing Dr. Kelley.

I can't believe I waited so long for my first acupuncture session! On my first visit, Dr. Kelley quickly identified, explained, and began working on a circulation problem I wasn't even aware of. After 40 years of western medical doctors that were mostly professional and standoffish, Dr. Kelley's positive attitude and extensive knowledge are a very welcome change. The immediate results speak for themselves, and I could not be more confident in Dr. Kelley's care.Philip M.
Dr. Lea Kelley is amazing!!! She has a huge knowledge of the body and how to heal! Best doctor in town! I feel lucky to have found her.Rebecca Marill
Dr. Kelley is a well-educated , highly qualified, and incredibly gifted healer. I've worked with a combination of standard American medical doctors and holistic practitioners for years to treat the same persistent and mysterious issues with moderate success - Dr. Kelley is the first I've found to be able to pull all of the symptoms together comprehensively, and through analytical research and a series of diagnostic tests, pull together the first sets of diagnoses that actually make sense. Even better, she is able to offer general treatment through acupuncture and chiropractic work, as well as a slew of other highly reputable therapies (FAR Infrared treatments, light therapies, supplements, muscle-testing for specific product usage, filtration devices and more) that improve quality of life all-around while we work to address the root of the issues. I am a celiac with typically weakened-immune and related sensitivities, and in Dr. Kelley I've found the best listener I've ever encountered in a practitioner, as well as a coach who I can count on to ask the well-educated questions I wouldn't have considered. I am so grateful to have finally found a health advocate I feel I can trust! -Testimonial from Margaret Viola
I was walking by when I saw Dr. Kelley's office and I went inside to inquire. I was lucky enough to speak with her directly and she convinced me to give it a go! I'm so glad I did! She did some acupuncture to help with my neck pain and at first I felt the same but about 2-3 hours later I felt completely lighter. When I woke up in the morning I couldn't believe how much better my neck felt. No pain or stiffness whatsoever. I am definitely a believer now! I'll be going back to her for sure!

I 'found' Dr. Kelley quite by accident, but it was the BEST accident I could have asked for! I have an 'incurable bone/blood condition.' She has worked with me for about 4 years, and I keep getting better and staying strong. When I have a concern or question, she always takes time to hear me and to consider what needs to be done. She is a DREAM to work with, and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who wants to have a partner in their wellness!
