Shellie is a pediatric occupational therapist and owner of Sensational Kids, LLC. Shellie graduated in 1988 with a bachelor's degree in Occupational Therapy from Colorado State University. The first few years of her career were based in outpatient adult therapy. After moving to New Mexico, she began working in the public schools which she continued after moving to Colorado. In 2007, Shellie returned to her hometown of Sheridan, Wyoming and began working at the Child Development Center. Throughout her career, she recognized that the educational setting can't always provide the intensity of therapy needed to help children succeed across all environments. In 2010, she opened her first outpatient pediatric clinic specializing in the treatment of Sensory Processing Disorder. Recognizing that the need for additional therapy for children is great in many areas of the state, she has since opened clinics in Cheyenne and Casper.
