Welcome, Shamara!

We are so excited to welcome a new NWI Center for Maternal Wellness volunteer, Shamara Rigsby!

"Recreational therapist at heart, full-time SAHM by day, and forever believer in helping people live richer, fuller lives. I’ve worked everywhere from mental health facilities to community programs for special-needs families, and I still can’t resist the pull of being hands-on—which is why you’ll find me volunteering with NWI Center for Maternal Wellness to get my “professional-people-helping” fix.

When I’m not momming or volunteering, I’m roaming the outdoors on our beloved “Rigsby Ranch”—10 acres of semi-wild land where my husband Blake hunts, I pretend to know what I’m doing, and nature politely corrects us both. I’m a former college volleyball athlete turned all-around sports fanatic, enthusiastic meal-prep queen, party-hosting pro, hobby-collector (current obsession: cross-stitch), and someone who will break out dancing for absolutely no reason.

We travel whenever possible, bringing both our daughter and our dog because adventure is better when everyone’s involved. Our home is happily ruled by Roux the German Shorthaired Pointer, Thundercat the three-legged barn cat, Gonzo 2.0 the beta fish, and our spirited toddler, Lilliara.

Life is loud, lively, and endlessly fun—and I wouldn’t change a thing."

Welcome to the Center, Shamara! We are so grateful to have you on the team!
