Dr. Keough-Bligh Bio:

Dr. Felicity Keough-Bligh is a St. Louis native and spent her time growing up in St. Charles, MO. Upon graduating from St. Charles High School she realized she had a passion for creating health and wellness in the body. She strives to understand why the body becomes sick, diseased and injured, and how to address these issues naturally and to prevent future problems.

It Runs in the Family
Her grandparents, Drs. Joseph and Belle Keough, are a HUGE inspiration for her. Through their practice of Chiropractic, they have helped people attain higher quality of life in St. Charles for over 55 years.

Training and Learning Chiropractic
After three years of intense pre-chiropractic studies, she began her matriculation at Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, MO. While at Logan, Dr. Keough was involved in the latest pediatric sports rehabilitation techniques. She also completed over 300 hours of training, where she learned techniques to help with the treatment of pediatric and pregnant patients and was fortunate to see a variety of cases.

She underwent many hours of study with the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association learning how to treat children and pregnant mothers. She understands that pregnancy is an important time in a woman’s life. The need for a fully functioning body is crucial to a mother and her developing baby’s health, as well as labor and delivery without complications. She has helped many women achieve their goals of natural birth, VBAC and overall comfort during pregnancy.

In addition, Dr. Keough has spent many hours of study dedicated to Functional Medicine using laboratory testing and analysis, hormonal testing, advanced allergy testing and weight management. She believes that addressing core issues related to weight gain (diet, toxicity and hormonal imbalance) is key to regaining and optimizing the health of her patients.

Dr Felicity Keough  has written a book called Healing from  within which dives deep into her own personal healing journey and gives fresh insight into the body’s ability to heal itself when given the chance. She enjoys spending her free time doing yoga, running and reading as well as playing with her two boys, husband and dog on their 3 acre ranch.
