Ep 7: Dr Shelby Etner | Naturopathy, Family, and the Journey to a Healthier Business Life

In today's episode we delve into the beautiful mind of Naturopathic Doctor Shelby Etner. Shelby is the Owner of Vero Health here in Vernon, BC. A go-getter from a young age, Shelby decided to leave the small town she grew up in to pursue a professional career. She enrolled at UBC with the original intention to practice law, a goal that would soon change. Shelby quickly found the workload to be devastating to her personal health and in the process she experienced a "paradigm shift" that drew her to naturopathic medicine. In suffering, she found new beauty. Shelby set up shop in the Okanagan, and was responsible for creating the largest natural health clinic in the Okanagan which was named Okanagan Natural Medicine. She then decided to sharpen her focus by opening up Vero Health. What started as a small clinic grew quickly, leading Shelby to take on more of a managerial role in her business. While providing care gave her much happiness, it wasn't enough. Shelby decided to "positively downsize" to the location she is in now. She is here to prove to the world that sometimes the key to creating a sustainable business is downsizing to fit your lifestyle and most important goals, and that growth happens in more ways than just the size of your business or the numbers on your bottom line. She is now fully patient-focused in her current practice. Shelby provides us so much wisdom in this episode, from detailing her family life all the way to some "do's and don'ts" of nutrition. She is a health superwoman! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
