Hi, I’m Kimberly Kennedy
Founder and CEO of Elite Functional Wellness
My passion and calling in life is to help others live their healthiest lives with minimal pain through movement, nutrition, and improved mental well-being. I believe in treating the whole person—not just symptoms—through a science-based, holistic approach that restores balance and empowers individuals to thrive at every stage of life.
I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and am a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT), certified by the Lymphology Association of North America (LANA). I am also a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (FAAOMPT) and a Fellow in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, representing advanced post-doctoral training in diagnostic imaging and evidence-based manual therapy.
In addition, I hold multiple certifications through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) as a Certified Personal Trainer, with specialties in Nutrition Coaching, Performance Enhancement, and Wellness Coaching. These complementary disciplines allow me to seamlessly integrate rehabilitation, movement science, and functional medicine principles to create individualized wellness plans.
I am deeply committed to promoting holistic health, fitness, and human performance—sharing knowledge to inspire and empower healthcare professionals, fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and individuals seeking comprehensive wellness and rehabilitation solutions. My client-centered approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of dysfunction, restoring optimal movement, and enhancing overall quality of life.
As a retired combat veteran, I proudly deployed four times in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn. Away from the clinic, I find balance through boating, fishing, and camping with my husband, children, parents, and our three spoiled dogs—recharging in nature so I can bring my best to those I serve.
My Approach to Holistic Wellness
At Elite Functional Wellness, true health means more than the absence of pain — it’s about restoring harmony between body, mind, and movement. I believe that lasting wellness comes from addressing the entire person—physically, metabolically, and emotionally—through a deeply personalized, one-on-one approach.
Each session is designed to go beyond traditional therapy, integrating evidence-based physical therapy, manual and osteopractic techniques, musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging, metabolic and body composition analysis, functional fitness, and nutrition and wellness coaching. This comprehensive, data-driven approach allows me to uncover the root cause of dysfunction rather than simply managing symptoms.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, enhancing athletic performance, or simply striving for optimal health, your care plan is uniquely tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and physiology. Sessions are never rushed and always individualized — giving time for meaningful assessment, education, and hands-on care that honors your body’s capacity to heal and adapt.
At Elite Functional Wellness, the mission is simple: to help you move better, live stronger, and thrive fully — through compassionate expertise, cutting-edge science, and a partnership that empowers you to achieve sustainable, lifelong health.
