Dr. Makala Shelly DC
I'm passionate about living each moment in the presence of gratitude. Gratitude is the fastest way to shift into a positive mindset. I'm grateful my work allows me to connect deeply with individuals in my community and do my part to make the world a brighter place. My favorite activities are cooking and sharing food with friends and family, hiking/forest bathing with my dogs in the beautiful pacific northwest, fire-dancing as a performance art and a personal spiritual practice, and connecting with my body through dance, yoga, and strength training.

Aja

Her passion for true HEALTH care has brought her to the field of Chiropractic care. Learning more about Chiropractic and experiencing how much it has helped her has opened the doors to the natural health and healing world.
You can find her hiking along the beaches or mountains of Whatcom county with her pup or out in her garden. Her passion for knowledge about deep nutrition has her spending quality time preparing healthy food with her family. In addition, she loves to keep the flow of our practice running smoothly. If you have any questions, ask her. She looks forward to sharing knowledge with you!
Mila & Molly
-
Mila is a 7-year-old Toy Pomeranian; although she might be small, she is mighty! Mila lives life to the fullest, giving her the nickname Micro Wolf. She loves to play fetch with sticks ridiculously too big for her tiny body, swim in any body of water she can get into, and hike up mountains faster than her humans can keep up! Mila is beautiful, fluffy, and can be irresistible to snuggle. Still, she doesn't always want to be touched by strangers. Let her come up to you.

Molly is a Miniature Goldendoodle puppy, and she LOVES being an office dog. She wants to greet everyone who walks through the door, and if you let her, she will sit on your lap and help you fill out your paperwork! If you want puppy snuggles, Molly is your girl! She is sweet, gentle, and soft. Molly loves running fast, especially if another dog chases her at the park. She also loves to play tug of war with toys and wrestle with her sister Mila.
“Many clients look forward to seeing the office dogs and feel puppy love is beneficial to the overall healing experience. However, if you wish for a dog-free office visit, please let us know, and we can easily put them away during your time with us.”
