Kalissa Braga
Regional Hospital Coordinator - Parker & Castle Rock
Kalissa is excited to join the Strong Mamas, Thriving Babies Program with YANA. With a Bachelors in Elementary Education and years of teaching, this is a new career path for Kalissa. She is a Mom of three after years of infertility/ fertility treatments and is happy to find a way to support other Mamas on their paths. Kalissa and her family have recently relocated to property in Parker and are slowly building a hobby farm and horse boarding facility. She has been a Girl Scout Leader for over 8 years, a foster parent for a local dog rescue, and volunteered at her kids’ schools through PTA and PTO. Kalissa can’t wait to meet new Moms and babies and help them navigate our resources so they can find their community and feel like they belong somewhere.
Kalissa grew up in Wisconsin and is still a diehard Packers Fan but enjoys the Colorado weather much more than Wisconsin’s! She loves to cook, craft, and read.
Stephanie Holzhauer
Program Facilitator - Castle Rock
Stephanie is our Program Facilitator at Castle Rock Hospital and is also the owner of Fit4Mom Castle Rock. Her professional journey began in fields outside of women’s health and wellness, although she always knew there was something more she wanted to pursue, she gained valuable experience in communication, health, and support along the way.
After becoming a mom to two beautiful girls, she discovered Fit4Mom and instantly fell in love with its mission to empower mothers through fitness, connection, and community. This passion eventually led her to take on ownership of Fit4Mom Castle Rock, where she now help moms navigate their physical and mental wellness journeys.
Through a local mama, she met Nikki and learned about YANA and its inspiring mission. She became a huge supporter of YANA’s efforts, which align so deeply with her own passion for empowering and uplifting women, especially new moms.
She is married to her wonderful husband, Erik, and together they’ve built a life centered around family and connection. She is thrilled to be part of an incredible team of women supporting women. Her mission is to ensure every mom feels seen, supported, and encouraged, whether they’re taking their first steps in motherhood or navigating the ongoing challenges of raising a family.
YANA was created to change the world one mom at a time and with the wealth of experience and knowledge of the Board of Directors as well as their passion for providing peer-to-peer support for all moms, we are well on our way.
