About Kelly Phillips
Raised in Yellowstone National Park, Kelly developed a deep connection to the natural world early in life — a foundation that carried her through a physically demanding 13-year career as a Wildland Firefighter. She served on a variety of crews, including the Helena Hotshots, Helitack, and Wildland Fire Modules, all while earning her Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from Colorado State University.
Years of high-impact work left her with chronic knee and neck pain — and a growing curiosity about the body’s innate capacity to heal. After experiencing the transformative effects of Rolfing® firsthand, Kelly knew she had found her next path. She completed her training at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado, graduating as a Certified Rolfer® in 2022.
Today, she practices in Cody, Wyoming, working with people of all ages — from infants to elders — helping them find greater ease, resilience, and connection within their bodies. Kelly believes that lasting change comes not just from addressing pain, but from honoring the whole person and the story their body carries.
