Heidi | CRNA • Special Needs Mom • Advocate

Welcome! I’m Heidi—a CRNA, disability advocate, Air Force Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, and mom of three, including fraternal twins Nick and Max, who both have Down syndrome.

I share evidence-informed medical and anesthesia education, Down syndrome awareness, disability advocacy, honest family life, travel, and sourdough bread making.

Service has always been important to me. I previously served on the Down Syndrome of Louisville Board of Directors, was a Tri Kappa member, and represented my community for two years as a Kentucky Derby Festival Ambassador.

I’m also a traveler, scuba diver, Ironman finisher, and former barrel racer. I share this life with Matt, my Australian husband of 26 years, as we prepare for his kidney transplant.
