Johnie Evans, General Board Member
Johnie is a devoted wife and proud mom of three - a lively 4th grader, a courageous 1st grader, and an energetic toddler. By day (and often by night), Johnie works as a doula; a role she is deeply passionate about. When she's not guiding new parents, you'll likely find her lost in a good novel or out enjoying life with her kids. Johnie has a knack for bringing order to chaos, helping others transform cluttered spaces into calm, functional sanctuaries.  With her nurturing nature and hands-on approach, she brings a perfect blend of heart, humor, and practical wisdom to everything she does for her family, clients, and community.
