Callie Holmes

When Callie met the MNHV Team in 2019, she experienced something that she desperately needed but had never felt throughout her parenting journey - parent to parent support. 

She felt supported and empowered, but more importantly, she finally felt capable and confident in her ability to raise her daughter. Her life was changed, and so was her daughter’s, thanks to the connections she made with other parents of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children, parents just like her. 

Callie was thrilled to join MNHV as the SE Parent Guide in July 2022. She looks forward to connecting with parents and families that are at any stage of their journey. She knows that sometimes the emotions we face during a trying time are unpredictable. She wants parents to know that whether you feel confident from the start, or you feel totally overwhelmed, or you are somewhere in between, you do not have to go it alone. Here are MNH&V, there is a wonderful community of parents that are ready to walk beside you.

Callie grew up in the Brainerd Lakes Area, where she started her family. She now lives in Steele County with her husband, their daughter, who is Deaf, and their three sons. They are a family who love to stay busy, they enjoy fishing, swimming, traveling, exploring state parks, and caring for their small herd of goats.
