Kristi is our Client Services Director and Childbirth, Doula, and Childbirth Educator. She joined the Hannah Center in 2018 because she was eager to use her passion, knowledge and skills to serve mothers and babies in our community. Kristi became a certified childbirth educator and doula in 2001. Over the years, she also led breastfeeding and parenting support groups.

Kristi completed her doula certification program through Birth Arts International.

She is a dedicated advocate for all pregnant, birthing and postpartum mothers, but she feels especially called to helping moms in crisis pregnancies. She wants to make doula care accessible to underserved and at-risk women. Her life experiences have led her to work with sexual assault survivors, post-abortive women and women choosing adoption. In 1997, she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Health Science-Human Development/Family Studies.

Her greatest strengths are that she’s compassionate, supportive, down-to-earth and a little feisty. She also loves kayaking, big dogs, and thunderstorms. When she is not busy at the Hannah Center, you’ll find her spending time with her family and friends, hiking and enjoying nature.
