Hi birch & stone Family — I’m Shelly!

I’m a daughter, sister, wife, friend, cousin, niece, bestie, bonus sister, and proud pet mom to two Frenchies — Stella & Otto, my 18-year-old Bengal Georgie, and our 7-month-old kitten Miley. 🐾💛

I’ve lost 170 pounds on my wellness journey — a transformation that changed my health, my mindset, and my belief in what’s possible. I’m also in the midst of one of the biggest battles of my life: a cancer journey that has tested my strength, deepened my courage, and reminded me how important connection truly is.

I have the best of both worlds — one foot in the corporate realm as a Business Systems Analyst, where I help teams solve problems and navigate change, and the other firmly planted in a community built on care, compassion, and support. Both sides of my life have taught me the same truth: we grow stronger when we grow together.

That’s why birch & stone means so much to me.
It’s a safe, uplifting space where we support each other, heal together, and celebrate every step forward — no matter how small.

If you’re thinking about joining us… take that first brave step.
Because once you take it, you begin to believe that anything is possible. 🌱💛

I can’t wait to walk this journey with you. 🫶🌿
