  • Describe How You Would Like To Be Introduced Via Email
    I’m Kelsey, the founder of Restore & Roam, a travel agency dedicated to creating wellness-focused, restorative, and ethical travel experiences. As a mental health therapist and travel advisor, I’m passionate about designing journeys that nurture well-being, inspire adventure, and connect travelers with authentic, meaningful experiences.

    Whether you're seeking a serene getaway, a rejuvenating retreat, or an unforgettable family adventure, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I’d love the opportunity to explore how I can help bring your travel dreams to life!
  • What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
    My "why" stems from a deep passion for helping people find balance, connection, and renewal in their lives. As a mental health therapist, I witnessed firsthand how transformative it can be for individuals to step away from the demands of daily life and prioritize their well-being.

    I started Restore & Roam to combine my love for travel with the principles of wellness and mindfulness, creating experiences that not only inspire adventure but also provide restorative moments for the mind, body, and spirit. I do this because I believe travel has the power to heal, reconnect us with ourselves and others, and foster meaningful, ethical connections with the world around us.
  • Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
    1. What type of travel experience are you dreaming about, and what would make it truly unforgettable for you?
    2. Have you had challenges with planning past trips, and how can I help make this experience smoother for you?
    3. Would you like me (Kelsey) to share examples of how I’ve helped others plan similar journeys to yours?
  • About me
    As a licensed mental health therapist, I’ve always been passionate about helping others find balance, peace, and fulfillment in their lives. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful taking time away from the familiar can be—whether it’s stepping back from stressors, rediscovering yourself in a new setting, or simply finding the space to breathe and reflect. That’s what inspired me to become a travel advisor and focus on Restorative Travel.

    Travel has always held deep healing potential. Just as therapy provides a safe space for personal growth, travel opens up new environments where we can reconnect with our inner selves, reduce stress, and gain fresh perspectives. Merging these two worlds allows me to design unique travel experiences that promote well-being, emotional restoration, and personal discovery.

    Becoming a travel advisor felt like the natural next step in my mission to help people live healthier, more balanced lives. Now, I not only help my therapy clients work through challenges in the therapy room but also offer my travel clients opportunities to explore, restore, and grow through carefully curated travel experiences.

    Through Restore & Roam and Fora Travel, I’m able to guide you on journeys that uplift both your mind and spirit, offering more than just a vacation—offering true restoration.
