ABOUT US

Our Story

Welcome to the MotherBaby Family

We say "meet your family" because that is genuinely how we care for every person who walks through our door, from the very first visit.

So much of traditional health care can feel cold, rushed, and impersonal. That is not what you will find here. You will be welcomed with a warm smile and a real hello, and from the moment you meet Dr. Chrisi, you will feel the difference of care that is personal, unhurried, and centered entirely on you. She takes the time to truly listen, understand your story, and build a plan around your goals for yourself, your baby, and your family.

Meet the founder

Dr. Chrisi Kelly

Hi, I'm Dr. Chrisi. I have always loved helping others, and I feel so grateful that I get to show up every day for mamas and babies.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated by the design and resilience of the human body. While completing my pre-med studies, I worked as an EMT in my hometown of Yankton, South Dakota, where my firsthand experiences drew me toward a different path: one focused on prevention, healing, and helping the body work the way it was designed to.

As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I help my patients restore balance and function through safe, gentle, effective care. I am proud to be one of only six chiropractors in the Twin Cities certified by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP). I am also Webster Certified through the ICPA, a Body Ready Method® Certified Pro, and trained in Spinning Babies techniques, with more than a decade of experience caring for mothers and children. As a licensed midwife, I love weaving together the philosophies of midwifery and chiropractic to give my pregnant mamas a truly unique and educational prenatal experience.

For the past decade, I ran a multidisciplinary practice for moms and babies, Born & Raised Wellness Co., in San Diego. In 2024, the season of raising our own little family called us home to the Midwest, so our children could grow up surrounded by the love of family. I could not be more thrilled to be here, supporting the families of the Twin Cities with specialized prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric care.

THE

The Only Dual Chiropractor & Midwife in Minnesota

There are a lot of chiropractors in the Twin Cities. There is only one who is also a midwife. That rare combination means Dr. Chrisi understands pregnancy, birth, and your baby's body from every angle, not just the spine & nervous system. With CACCP certification (one of only six in the Twin Cities), Webster certification, Body Ready Method® Pro training, and over a decade of experience, you are getting a level of specialized expertise you simply won't find anywhere else.

DIFFERENCE

Care Built Entirely Around Moms & Babies

We don't treat everyone. We specialize, deeply, in exactly what you need. Every technique, every adjustment, and every piece of our gentle, neurologically-focused approach is designed specifically for expecting mamas, new moms, women, babies, and children. That focus is why families drive from across the metro to see us, and why so many come to us after trying somewhere that treated them like just another appointment.

An Experience That Feels Like Family

From the moment you walk in, you'll feel the difference: an unhurried welcome, organic pregnancy or postpartum tea and/or bubbly water, fresh-baked lactation cookies, and a calm, family-designed space with a mom's area and a playroom for the crew. But the real difference is how you're treated. Dr. Chrisi takes the time to truly listen and build care around your goals, so you never feel rushed, dismissed, or like just another chart.

WORK WITH US
  • Close-up of a person gently touching their bare belly with their hands, standing in front of a soft, light-colored background.

    "It’s my favorite time of the week. I started to go at the beginning of my pregnancy with a really bad lower back pain, and worried about how it might be later on with a bigger and heavier belly. I am 37 weeks pregnant now and I can tell you: My back does not bother me at all! (I mean, just the normal laydown position during pregnancy) but before, I couldn’t even move."

The office is peace, calm and welcoming to you and your littles! (And FRESH BAKED COOKIES!?! Included.)"

    "Dr. Chrisi is a wealth of knowledge with firsthand experience as a both as a midwife and a mother herself, which makes her an expert compassionate listener with very educated and real-life applicable advice (especially for all things pregnancy, motherhood, and infant support!). Her perspective comes from a whole-person approach, to support both the body and the nervous system."
