Meet the Hope Chiropractic Team
Dr. Nick Shelby Chiropractor
Dr. Nick was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH and is a second generation Doctor of Chiropractic. Growing up in a chiropractic family, Dr. Nick was able to experience first-hand the benefits of regular chiropractic care for children and entire families. After spending years in his father’s chiropractic office, learning about the body's innate ability to heal itself, and witnessing countless miracles, Dr. Nick knew that he found his passion in life.
Dr. Nick received his Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees from Life University, the largest chiropractic college in the world. He has extensive training & experience in pediatrics, pregnancy and family care. Dr. Nick is also Webster trained and Certified for our pregnant mothers.
Outside of the office, Dr. Nick spends his free time cooking, exercising, cheering on his Cincinnati Bearcats, and exploring the Indianapolis area with his wife, Rachel, and their Giant Schnauzer, Otto.
Rachel Shelby Office Manager
Rachel Shelby was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio and has always been passionate about fitness, nutrition and a holistic approach to health. Growing up, Rachel explored many different sports, but her favorites were cheerleading, pole vaulting and power lifting. After a back injury took collegiate sports off the table, Rachel decided to focus on her studies, eventually receiving degrees in PR and Communication from the University of Cincinnati.
Rachel was introduced to chiropractic by Dr. Nick because of her back injury and other health concerns. After regular adjustments (by Dr. Nick’s dad!), she experienced better sleep, digestion, menstrual cycles, emotional calm and decreased pain. She’s been an advocate for chiropractic ever since!
When she is not running Hope Chiropractic, you’ll find Rachel dancing in the air and teaching aerial silks at Cirque Indy. Rachel is also an ACE certified personal trainer, a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200) and a professional aerialist.
laura a. chiropractic assistant
Laura grew up here in Indiana, but moved to Colorado about 5 years ago and just moved back! She spent her time in Colorado working as a medical aesthetician and bringing a more holistic approach to the field. She’s spent most of her life seeing chiropractors on and off, but loves that Hope takes a more educative approach to chiropractic and that they promote holistic health for all of our members! When not in the office, you can catch Laura outdoors hiking, doing a little yoga, reading, or checking out new food spots in the area!
lauren g. chiropractic assistant
Lauren was born and raised here in central Indiana where she graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Informatics. She initially worked in the technology space, but she left the workforce to stay home with her now 9 and 7 year old boys.
Over the last two years, Lauren has been on a healing journey that brought her and her boys to Hope! Through her healing, she recognized the importance of being aligned and the effects it can have on your life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. She is grateful for the opportunity to be working with the team at Hope.
Outside of work, Lauren loves spending time with her boys being out in nature hiking, biking, and walking. She also loves to travel!
