Nonie is a passionate advocate for personal growth and the well-being of families. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Marriage and Family Studies from Brigham Young University-Idaho and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. At just 20 years old, Nonie built her first six-figure business, followed by a second at 26, a testament to her entrepreneurial drive and unwavering commitment to helping others live their fullest lives.

With a wealth of experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and serving as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for Children (CASA), Nonie has dedicated herself to being a powerful voice for vulnerable children and families. As a CASA, she advocates for children in foster care, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs are met during court proceedings. This role has only deepened her commitment to protecting the innocent and offering guidance to families in crisis, reinforcing her belief in the inherent worth and potential of every child.

As the 7th of 8 siblings, Nonie’s deep love for family is woven into the very fabric of her work. She founded House of Healing with a singular mission: to help heal families and bind them together. Through this platform, Nonie offers a space for healing, providing access to exceptional clinicians who guide people on their journey of restoration and growth. Her work is fueled by a profound passion for helping couples rediscover the magic of true connection—helping them overcome obstacles, rebuild trust, and reignite the love that first brought them together. Nonie believes that every relationship, no matter how strained, holds the potential for transformation when guided with care and understanding.

But it’s her love for children that is the cornerstone of her mission. Nonie is deeply moved by the purity and innate goodness of children and is committed to helping families honor and respect them for who they are at their core. She believes that every child is a unique, precious soul, deserving of love, guidance, and affirmation. Nonie’s mission is to help parents and caregivers create environments where children feel seen, valued, and safe to express their true selves. When children are raised in spaces where their dignity is honored and their potential nurtured, they are empowered to grow into confident, compassionate individuals.

Above all, Nonie’s greatest joy and privilege is being a mother. Her role as a mother shapes everything she does, infusing her leadership with compassion, patience, and a nurturing spirit. As a female entrepreneur, she leads with heart and empathy, creating a business environment that prioritizes family, growth, and well-being. When she’s not caring for her children or leading her company, you’ll find Nonie deepening her friendship with her husband, playing piano, exercising and enjoying the outdoors, hosting gatherings, finding new ways to serve her community, and always seeking to expand her knowledge to better serve others.

As the Executive Assistant at House of Healing, my goal is to ensure the office is running smoothly and efficiently. I provide administrative support to the leadership team, manage scheduling and communications, coordinate office operations, and assist with special projects to enhance the client and staff experience. I’m excited to use my marketing skills to help spread the word about House of Healing and its mission, ensuring more people in the community can access the care and support they need. With a keen eye for detail and strong organizational skills, I help keep everything on track so our therapists can focus on providing exceptional care.

I’m originally from Medford, Oregon, and earned my degree in Business Administration from Oregon State University. I then spent four years in Austin, Texas, working for an event company, where I developed skills in coordination, communication, and client support. Recently, I moved back to Oregon to be closer to friends and family, and I’m excited to serve the community I know and care for.

Outside of work, I love to travel—especially throughout the Mediterranean—where I enjoy exploring new cultures and cuisines. I’m thrilled to be part of the House of Healing team and look forward to making a meaningful impact!
