Nikki holds a masters’ in social work and art therapy and is the Founder and Executive Director of Heart of a Child Ministries. The ministry was inspired through her daughter Grace, when she was just seven years old, during a prayer experience on the Anniversary of Roe v Wade in 2012.
Prior to Heart of a Child Ministries, Nikki was a pro-life pregnancy counselor at Birthright Counseling in St. Louis and a family counselor in the Expectant Parenting Unit at Catholic Services providing individual counseling support and leading art therapy and parenting classes at the local maternity home. Nikki is also an author and illustrator and has written many articles in various homeschooling, parenting, and pro-life publications and is a freelance writer for Aquinas Press.
Nikki’s most important accomplishment is the work of her family. She and her husband, Bernie, Vice President of Development at Spirit Catholic Radio, are blessed to have six beautiful children.
