She was taught from a young age how to use herbs, oils and supplements and care for others holistically.

Kelli Dailey, RN
Helena, Townsend, Boulder, White Sulphur Springs area.
Contact: 406-949-1948
Kelli comes to us as a Registered Nurse with 17 years of nursing experience—including nine years as an LPN—I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate, evidence-based care across a variety of healthcare settings. My background includes acute care and step-down medical-surgical nursing, urgent care, family practice, obstetrics, and pediatric home health caring for tracheostomy- and ventilator-dependent children following hospital discharge. For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of serving in a leadership role on a surgical and oncology unit.
My professional experience, combined with my family’s experience with cancer, has deepened my appreciation for a more holistic approach to health and wellness. I believe that caring for people goes beyond treating illness—it’s about supporting overall well-being, promoting prevention, and helping individuals feel their best through personalized, evidence-based care.
As a Montana native, I value community, connection, and making quality care accessible. When I’m not caring for patients, you’ll usually find me camping, traveling, spending time near the water, or making memories with my two energetic boys. I also enjoy helping women feel confident and cared for through my Mary Kay business, which has reinforced my passion for empowering others to prioritize self-care and wellness.
I’m excited to bring safe, personalized mobile IV hydration and vitamin therapy to our community and look forward to helping clients feel refreshed, supported, and empowered to live healthier lives.
Please reach out if you are looking to book an appointment with Kelli at 406-949-1948

We're thrilled to introduce Alexa, RN, to the Wild Roots IV & Wellness team!
Alexa is going on her third year, with experience in the urgent care setting. She’s passionate about caring for her patients in meaningful ways in the most holistic way possible. Becoming a mom has really shaped how she views health for her family and she’s grown to appreciate a more holistic, balanced approach rather than always jumping straight to quick fixes.

When she is not working, you’ll usually find her working out, outside, or spending quality time with her family—who are the reason she chose a career that supports a healthy work-life balance.
Registered Nurse, RN
Registered Nurse, RNAndrea Larson
We're thrilled to introduce Andrea, RN, to the Wild Roots IV & Wellness team!
Andrea spent 14 years in the military, where she directed aircraft into battle and served aboard both an aircraft carrier and a destroyer. Her service took her to some truly remarkable places. When she left the military, she moved back home to Billings so her children could grow up alongside their cousins. She comes from a big, loud, close-knit family, with four sisters, her dad, and 12 nieces and nephews all living nearby, and she wouldn't have it any other way. She is also a mom of three and is married to a wonderful man.
Leaving the military was a big leap, but she calls it the best decision she ever made. She went back to school to become a nurse while working as a CNA. She has now been a nurse at St. Vincent Hospital for seven years, the last two as a charge nurse, and she loves the people she works alongside.
Now Andrea is beginning a new chapter with Wild Roots IV. She loves helping people feel better while getting to know them, and we're excited to see where this journey takes us together.
Please join us in welcoming Andrea to the Wild Roots family!
