Welcome to Journey Well!

Support Services for your Journey

Providing you with support every step of the way


Journey Well was born out of our love for mamas! We have a vision of supporting women well on their motherhood journeys. In our years spent as mothers, we began to see a need in our community for more support services in birth, breastfeeding, education and adoption. We desire to see families empowered by education in the latest evidence-based care and offer a variety of services tailored for your specific needs.

At Journey Well we believe mothering matters, and that families thrive when they find the support they need. With God as our strength and a whole lot of kids in our families (4 for Bobbie and 7 for Kari!) Journey Well is here to help you on your unique journey. Let’s Journey Well together friends, we are here for you!
