The story of Kelly and Michele begins in 2007 at the daycare facility where their young sons were enrolled. The occasional polite chat at drop off and pick up times quickly led to more lengthy conversations where the two women learned that they had a great deal in common, including careers as psychologists and a love of nature. Their friendship started out with occasional trips to the park after daycare pick up, and soon morphed into weekly playdates and dinners. Their similar parenting styles, complimentary personalities, and a tendency to find humor in even the most stressful of situations made their connection easy and natural. Prior to meeting, these working moms had been spending their evenings alone: preparing dinner, taking care of the home, and caring for their toddlers, while their diligent husbands worked long hours at their respective jobs. The emotional support and companionship that this friendship provided the women was invaluable. Since the days of daycare, the women continue to maintain their bond despite having moved to opposite ends of New Jersey. After many years of brain storming and exploring their passion for the outdoors, adventure, and the field of psychology, Kelly and Michele have combined their unique knowledge and expertise to bring you a one-of-a-kind path to health and healing: Wellness Outside the Box.
