About Shelli
National Director of Business Development
Shelli King joins Valiant Living as the National Director of Business Development. She is a sales, marketing, and business development professional who brings almost twenty-five years of experience to the role. Shelli has lived in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area for most of her life.
Upon graduation from college, Shelli started working as a sales professional in the healthcare sector and discovered a passion for it. After a short time as a pharmaceutical representative, she spent over a decade selling into the functional medicine arena where she continued building her successful medical sales career.
At the beginning of 2020, Shelli joined the team at Amen Clinics where she heavily contributed to the successful opening of the ninthlocation, which is in the heart of Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. At Amen Clinics, Shelli cultivated a prosperous network of referral sources in the specialty of brain health, including psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and other brain health professionals.
Shelli then started working exclusively within the behavioral healthcare community with Acadia Healthcare and Meadows Behavioral Healthcare where she helped those who needed a higher level of care such as a residential treatment program, and/or partial hospitalization program, and/or intensive outpatient program, in addition to intensive workshops and a strong alumni community.
She is extraordinarily grateful to have transitioned to Valiant Living as the National Director of Business Development. In this role, she is directing her efforts toward expanding all outreach, partnership, and admissions efforts across Valiant’s Men’s Residential and Detox programs, collaborating with current referral partners and developing relationships with new ones.
Shelli is extremely passionate about animals and saves as many as she can. She lives with her husband of over 34 years with whom she loves to travel. They share two daughters, who also enjoy traveling, as well as three pitbulls. Shelli is very focused on understanding the root cause of health struggles and feels especially fortunate to be able to apply that passion to her role at Valiant Living.
