"A Fierce Advocate for Maternal and Infant Health"

Our Executive Director, Ky Lindberg, shares how Nikki's work has impacted Georgia's families:

"As a mom of three, I know very intimately how important it is to be wrapped in love, supported, and afforded space to heal when welcoming a new lil one to your life. Yet for many, they feel they can’t prioritize self which can have detrimental effects on the lives of themselves and their baby. Nikki has made an immeasurable impact on the health and well-being of families across Georgia. She leverages her years of experiences to support families in prioritizing whole health, many times offering services and support without pay or recognition. She is a fierce advocate for maternal and infant health, using her voice and expertise to make sure every family has access to the tools they need to foster a healthy pregnancy and postpartum period."
