Rachel Shelby Office Manager

Rachel Shelby was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio and has always been passionate about fitness, nutrition and a holistic approach to health. Growing up, Rachel explored many different sports, but her favorites were cheerleading, pole vaulting and power lifting. After a back injury took collegiate sports off the table, Rachel decided to focus on her studies, eventually receiving degrees in PR and Communication from the University of Cincinnati.

Rachel was introduced to chiropractic by Dr. Nick because of her back injury and other health concerns. After regular adjustments (by Dr. Nick’s dad!), she experienced better sleep, digestion, menstrual cycles, emotional calm and decreased pain. She’s been an advocate for chiropractic ever since!

When she is not running Hope Chiropractic, you’ll find Rachel dancing in the air and teaching aerial silks at Cirque Indy. Rachel is also an ACE certified personal trainer, a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200) and a professional aerialist.
