Meet Our Team
SHELLEY DAVIES
LPN, AFCN
FOUNDER/OWNER
Some things about Me
My name is Shelley, and I have been a Licensed Practical Nurse since 2017. Over the years, I’ve worked in acute care, long-term care, geriatric nursing, and public health before expanding my practice into Advanced Foot Care Nursing and creating Sole Relief Advanced Foot Care Nursing Services.
I have a dog named Cooper, who takes his role as unofficial clinic supervisor very seriously. Outside of nursing, we spend most of our time outdoors hiking, kayaking, camping and gardening.
Why Nursing Foot Care?
Throughout my nursing career, I noticed how often foot health was overlooked until it became painful, limiting, or embarrassing for people. I wanted to create a service that focused not only on treatment, but on taking the time to genuinely care for people properly.
What sets Sole Relief apart is simple: time, compassion, and thorough clinical care. My goal is to make sure every client feels comfortable, respected, and confident in the care they receive, whether it’s routine maintenance or more advanced foot concerns.
LORRAINE FELTHAM
LPN, AFCN
My name is Lorraine, and I have been a Licensed Practical Nurse since 2015. In 2025, I completed additional training to become an Advanced Foot Care Nurse.
Some Things About Me
I love spending time in nature—walking in the forest, hiking, and camping, especially with my adult children and my one-year-old grandson. During the winter months, I enjoy snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. My indoor hobbies include knitting socks, baking, doing puzzles, and playing board games.
Past Nursing Experience
Over the past ten years, my nursing experience has included both acute care and long-term care settings.
Why Nursing Foot Care?
While working in long-term care, I observed how foot concerns can cause significant pain and greatly affect mobility. Watching Advanced Foot Care Nurses provide services in this setting sparked my interest in further education and ultimately led me to pursue a career as an Advanced Foot Care Nurse.

Why I Love This Job
I worked in healthcare for seven years before welcoming my first baby, and during that time I discovered how much I truly enjoy caring for people. I’ve always loved being there for individuals of all ages, especially when they need someone the most. Working in different departments has given me the opportunity to connect with people from many walks of life and in a variety of circumstances. Each experience has helped me grow, both personally and professionally, and has deepened my passion for supporting others. For me, this job is more than just work—it’s about making a difference, bringing comfort, and being present for people in moments that matter most.
COOPER
OFFICE SUPERVISOR
Meet Cooper: Shelley's 100lb (on a good day) co-owner. He mostly relaxes on his bed or in the sunshine, he's gentle, calm and quick to keep out of the way if needed. He is middle aged and lazy (unless you have treats for him). You will see a bit more energy from him if you are bringing tiny humans with you as those are his primary playmates at home.
That being said, we understand that some people may have allergies, fears, or other concerns about having a dog in the office. If you have any issues or would prefer that Cooper not be in the office during your visit, please don’t hesitate to let any of the team know. We are more than happy to accommodate by either putting him in his second favorite place (the truck) or arranging for him to be in a kennel during your treatment.
