Kelsey Choate
Founder & Nurse Practitioner
Kelsey is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner through the Institute for Functional Medicine. She founded Hara Center™ on the belief that thoughtful, precision-based medicine and deeply compassionate care belong together — that true healing happens when science and human connection meet. She believes deeply in the authentic power within each person — the inner wisdom, intuition, and sense of self that make each patient uniquely their own. Her approach honors that power, pairing it with thoughtful medicine and genuine partnership.
With a foundation in holistic nursing, advanced functional medicine training, and Healing Touch energy-based therapy, Kelsey approaches each patient as a whole person — not a set of symptoms. She believes care reaches beyond the physical, valuing the presence a provider brings to the patient-provider relationship. Her practice is built on listening deeply, investigating thoroughly, and crafting treatment plans that are as individual as the people she serves.
