Kelli began her career in medicine as an E.M.T. in 1981, providing emergency care services in South Florida.  She gained valuable experience working trauma, as well as providing healthcare at a local clinic.  She independently began studying medicinal herbs, eventually becoming certified as a Master Herbalist in 1991.  In 1993 she began hosting prayer circles to support women in crisis.  She received her midwifery training through 4 years of assisting a certified professional midwife in a homebirth practice and at Manna Christian Missions School of Midwifery and Health Sciences in Bonita Springs, Florida.

     She became increasingly aware of the effects of women’s birth experiences from these support groups.  Story after story of women mistreated during the birth process, laboring unsupported and separated from their babies and husbands came into her awareness.  An answer to prayer came when she began working as a Midwife’s Assistant in 1996.  She was traditionally trained serving women at home births.  Her independent studies of midwifery care produced a Certified Professional Midwifery credential in February, 2000 with the North American Registry of Midwives.  She was licensed by the State of New Mexico in May 2001 and began teaching and taking classes to complete her Florida licensure.  She has served over 300 homebirth families. 

     Kelli was born and reared in rural North Carolina where she grew up in a large  family. She believes strongly in family foundations and is active in her local church.  She is also a professional musician, singer/songwriter, mother to five, published author and gratefully married of 12 years to her husband and pharmacist, Bruce Johnson – who is most helpful with her herbal tinctures and salves.

She established “A Mother’s Nature Homebirths, Inc.” in 2001 working with Karen Kennedy, LM.  When Kelli’s Florida licensure  was completed, Karen birthed her own independent practice in DeLeon Springs —Agape Midwifery Service.  Kelli’s service provides care in Seminole, Brevard, Orange, and Osceola Counties.  She also provides care for Lake and Volusia county families.
