Shelley is passionate about education with her clients and her colleagues, and practices lifelong learning. In addition to numerous interest courses she has received a Diploma in Advanced Manipulative Therapy, became certified in Gunn IMS (dry needling), is trained in the use of Real Time Ultrasound imaging for the abdominal wall and pelvic floor, and is currently completing the courses for Visceral Manipulation. This allows Shelley to bring to her clients a well-rounded, current and extensive knowledge base.

Shelley is a mentor with the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapists, has designed and taught seminars for local massage therapists and trainers, worked with coaches on screening tools for their athletes, and has led education workshops with teams on how to “move better”.

In her personal life Shelley strives to embody what she teaches every day. She has engaged in many sports from varsity volleyball in university, soccer, football and baseball. She is an avid hockey player and is currently working on obtaining her black belt in kick-boxing. It is this love for athletics that has motivated her to work alongside her clients to empower them to enjoy exercise regardless of what season of life they are in.
