Shelley has been a Licensed Practical Nurse since 2017, with experience across home health and wound care, acute care, long-term care, public health, and palliative care before settling into foot care nursing in 2021. As Owner/Operator of Sole Relief Advanced Foot Care Nursing Services, Shelley and her team now provide foot care across office, community, and long-term care settings throughout the East Kootenays. She is passionate about education, clinical excellence, and growing the profession — dedicated to mentoring nurses and helping them build confidence in both their advanced foot care practice and their nursing careers.
The East Kootenays are one of Western Canada's most underserved foot care markets.
The opportunity in the East Kootenays
Cranbrook anchors the East Kootenay region — a vast area of southeastern BC that includes Kimberley, Fernie, Invermere, Sparwood, Elkford, and the surrounding rural communities. This region combines an established senior population with a growing recreation-and-retirement demographic, plus significant long-term care and rural healthcare demand that consistently outpaces the number of qualified Advanced Foot Care Nurses available.
Training with Shelley gives you something rare in Canadian foot care education: exposure to a team-based practice model. Most foot care nurses work solo — Shelley built Sole Relief to serve office, community, and long-term care settings across an entire region, which requires the systems, staffing, and clinical standards of a genuine multi-nurse operation. Students who want to eventually hire other nurses learn exactly how this model works from someone doing it successfully.
