Dr Shay is a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, wife, mom, pediatrician, and author.

With more than 15 years of experience in pediatrics, Shalea brings a deep understanding of children’s spiritual, physical, and developmental needs. She also serves as an editor and co-author of two pediatric textbooks, reflecting her commitment to advancing excellence in children’s health.

Alongside her work in medicine, Shalea has served children and families in local church ministry for more than two decades. She is passionate about helping the next generation know Jesus, grow in God’s Word, and live out their faith with confidence. Over the years, she has written and produced multiple children’s dramas, many of which have inspired her children’s picture books.

Through her books and resources, Shalea seeks to equip families to build a strong biblical foundation and help children discover their God-given identity, purpose, and place in His story.

Shalea lives in Ontario with her husband, Jon, and their family. At the heart of all she does is a simple prayer: that every child would know Jesus and know that they are deeply loved, wonderfully made, and forever secure in Christ.
