About
Hi there! I’m Shelly Rockwell.
Your go-to gal for all things motherhood. I'm not just a family medicine doc – I'm a mama to two adorable little rascals, and I'm here to be your partner in this wild ride called motherhood.
So here's the scoop
Becoming a mom changed everything for me, and I mean everything!
As a Family Medicine Physician, who cared for moms during pregnancy and postpartum, delivered over 150 babies in my training, and took care of those babes after they were born, I thought for sure I'd have #newmomlife all figured out when I brought home my first baby. Boy, was I wrong!
From midnight feedings to diaper disasters, I've been through it all. But I've also seen how incredible and life-altering this journey can be. And that's what got me passionate about helping other moms like you!
It's more than medicine.
Sure, I've got the medical expertise, but let's be real – motherhood is about way more than just doctor's appointments.
From sleepless nights to baby's first steps, from postpartum self-care to figuring out how to be "you" again – there is so much that comes along with motherhood.
In 2017, I launched Doctor Mommy, MD, to provide the down-to-earth education and community I wish I'd had as a new mama. With my years as a doctor combined with my own experiences caring for my own babies, my goal is to empower new parents with realistic, confident knowledge about their newborns, breastfeeding, and everything postpartum. So you feel ready to handle the transition from hospital to home sweet home with ease.
Whether you're a rookie mom or a seasoned pro, you don't have to wing it solo. Let's make this first year of motherhood an unforgettable journey. Let's make memories, conquer challenges, and rock those sleep-deprived nights like pros together!
Enneagram 4, type A as they come... I style my shelves weekly and can be found watching southern charm for hours at a time.
