Shelly-Medical Director, D.O.

Born and raised in West Central MN, Shelly knew from a young age she wanted to be a doctor to help care for people.

She has spent the last 13 years (so far) doing that work and delivering babies, with the last ten years being local to Grand Rapids. Aside to caring for her families, she began seeking out an interest in overall well-being and self-care techniques which spurred a desire of the aesthetic side of medicine.
