Speaker: Kelly Baker Proehl

Meet Kelly Baker Proehl, a speaker for Samaritan’s Feet International’s Inaugural International Women’s Day High Tea.  Kelly furthers our commitment to deliver the kind of program you’ll be talking about long after the last teacup is cleared.

Kelly is a wife, mom, “Lolli”, author, and entrepreneur. She and her husband, Ricky, have three adult children and twin granddaughters. She has been fortunate to spend time with people all over the country while moving from state-to-state during Ricky’s lengthy NFL career. During this time of growth through multiple changes, she worked tirelessly to build two top leadership positions in her wellness business, gaining life experience from many angles. However, nothing has shaped Kelly more than the love of Jesus.

Kelly chose to have an abortion the end of her senior year in college. After living with this secret in silence and shame for many years, Kelly found healing and peace through a relationship with the Lord. She now writes and speaks boldly about the freedom, joy, and abundant life available through the Healer, Jesus Christ. For almost three decades, Kelly has studied and applied biblical truth to her life, and helped others discover that there is a Healer who can restore even the deepest wounds, including the wound of abortion. Her healing journey led her to write her first published book, “The Soul’s Hole: Living in Freedom and Joy After Abortion.”

She is passionate about wellness in all aspects of life. She demonstrates this daily through her healthy lifestyle, walking with the Lord, helping others who are chained by guilt and fear, and sharing the abundant life found in Christ. Kelly also enjoys her work with the non-profit she and Ricky co-founded, The Ricky Proehl P.O.W.E.R.of Play Foundation, that serves children in-need around the Greensboro, NC, area.
Kelly and Ricky split their time between North Carolina and South Carolina, where she cherishes beach life, bike rides, sailing, writing, and time with family and friends.

Kelly loves speaking at events to share the healing and mighty love of Jesus. Her memoir is a testament to God’s relentless grace and a gift to anyone longing to live in soul-freedom from abortion—or any sin that entangles someone.
