Meet Our Practitioner
Dr. Shelley Graves is a holistic health practitioner whose work bridges advanced clinical training with integrative, whole-person healing. She earned her Doctorate of Pharmacy from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and began her career in clinical pharmacy, where she developed a deep understanding of pharmacology, complex health conditions, and patient-centered care.
While practicing, Shelley recognized that many individuals were seeking more than symptom management—they were seeking true healing. This realization led her to pursue advanced education in integrative and functional medicine, expanding her expertise beyond conventional models to address the root causes of imbalance.
Shelley believes that lasting wellness can only occur through a whole-person approach that honors the intricate connection between mind, body, and spirit. Her work integrates evidence-informed functional medicine principles with personalized lifestyle, nutrition, and stress-regulation strategies designed to restore balance and resilience.
In addition to her medical and functional training, Shelley is trained in the art and science of clinical sound therapy. She incorporates powerful therapeutic frequencies and vibrational instruments into her practice to support nervous system regulation, energetic alignment, and cellular vitality. By blending modern science with sound-based healing modalities, she creates a deeply restorative experience that supports clients throughout their healing journey.
Through compassionate guidance and a collaborative partnership, Shelley empowers her clients to move beyond symptom management toward sustainable transformation, balance, and vibrant health.

What does joining us at Soluna Holistic Health mean for you?
Why Integrative and Functional Medicine?
Our society is experiencing an epidemic in obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and chronic inflammation. A recent human prospective study showed that 88% of adult Americans are metabolically unhealthy. (1) There is a huge need for healthcare practitioners who embrace collaborative “health-span” care (how well you live your life) as opposed to the traditional model of disease-based care. For every one of my patients, my practice will allow you the time with me to focus on wellness and disease prevention.
Soluna Holistic Health is committed to helping you achieve optimal health. Our mission is to find the root cause of your symptoms and help you achieve wellness through correcting any contributing factors. We look at the whole person, and not just a collection of symptoms to be corrected. We strive for balance and wellness through lifestyle management, nutrition, and naturally occurring compounds and therapies whenever possible.
Integrative and functional medicine is an evolution in the practice of medicine which supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual by looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. These factors can influence long-term metabolic health resulting in complex, chronic disease.
By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, integrative and functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
In this way, integrative and functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.
Hallmarks of an integrative and functional medicine approach include:
Patient-centered care. The focus of integrative and functional medicine is on patient-centered care, promoting health as a positive vitality, beyond just the absence of disease.
Integrative and functional medicine takes a science-based healthcare approach to your health and wellness. Integrative and functional medicine practitioners look “upstream” to consider the complex web of interactions in the patient’s history, physiology, and lifestyle that can lead to illness. The unique genetic makeup of each patient is considered, along with both internal (mind, body and spirit) and external (physical and social environment) factors that affect health in many ways.
Integrating best medical practices, integrative and functional medicine integrates traditional Western medical practices with what are sometimes considered “alternative” or “integrative” medicine, focusing on both prevention of disease and treatment of disease. This is done through creating a personalized plan of optimal nutrition, sleep, movement, stress management, healthy relationships, spirituality, and toxin exposure reduction.
Functional medicine also uses advanced laboratory testing to improve gut health, determine food allergies and/or sensitivities, metabolic screening, and genetic testing. Treatment plans include weight and stress management, nutritional supplementation, and more.
