Board of Directors

Home » About » Board of Directors

ICAN’s Board of Directors are all volunteers located in various geographical locations in the United States. We function as a working board, responsible for both executive operations and missional steering of efforts towards humane, just, and healthy birthing around the world.

Anastasia Stone
ICAN President

Hi my name is Anastasia Stone. I am honored to serve as the president of ICAN after serving as a chapter leader for the past 8 years. I am a wife to one loving husband and mother to 5 amazing children.

I am passionate about maternal health and how it is truly the greatest indicator of the health of our society. The rich history of ICAN fighting for autonomy during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period is inspiring. My hope in my term as president is to continue the progress that has been made, join with the board providing support for local chapters, and provide up to date resources via our various virtual platforms.

Samantha Lee
ICAN Vice President

I’m Sam, your new VP, mommy to 6.  I have been with ICAN 16.5yrs now as volunteer and advocate and I’ve been a chapter leader for over 8 years.  My cesarean brought me to ICAN and my chutzpah keeps me in birth work. I am a doula and love vaginal breech and helping people with movement “medicine” for maternal/fetal positioning.  Contact me with any questions anytime at vp@ican-online.org

Michael Bodnar
ICAN Treasurer
Michael Bodnar has joined the ICAN Board of Directors as Treasurer. He is an Ohio native and has found his way to ICAN by way of his wife of 13 years, Amy who is a Chapter Co-Leader in Ohio. He and Amy live in Akron with their four kids Adeline (9), Delanie (7), Elliott (4), and Juniper (9 months). Michael is passionate about ICANs mission and how to best support, advocate, and respecting birthing persons decisions and desires for their birth. My goal is to streamline the fiduciary responsibilities that exist within the nonprofit organization and ensure by-laws and regulations are followed.
Kimberly S. Denitz-Zuleger, CLC,CPT,PMH-C
ICAN-Chapter Director
Santa Barbara Chapter Co-Leader

Kimberly is a Southern California native, partner to Mike, and mother to two young adults and an 8 1/2 year old, whom she homeschools. She has dedicated the last 8 years of her life to supporting women and families through birth and postpartum as a doula, activist, and educator. Six of those years have been as an ICAN co-leader for the flourishing Santa Barbara chapter.

With a varied background in both health care and mental health, Kimberly’s dedication to serving the community is unwavering. When she’s not working, she tends to hide in her car listening to a podcast while eating alone, and running trails, skiing slopes, sitting atop mountains, and swimming in the ocean at sunset.

She is honored to be your Chapter Director, and is here to lead the way for the betterment of chapters all over the world.

Valerie Hummel LaBounty
Sioux Falls Chapter Leader
After my first cesarean, I was devastated and looking for others who shared my feelings and experience in birth. ICAN seemed to be the answer, though there wasn’t a chapter near me. So, I applied to be a chapter leader and started Sioux Fall’s ICAN chapter in October of 2022. Now I am involved as a board member because I believe in ICAN’s mission and want to help support, educate, and advocate with and for birthing people in more ways! I am a mom to two sweet girls, partner to my husband of 8 years, and pastor to a local church in rural South Dakota. I love feeling cozy with a book or rewatching Gilmore Girls and keeping busy in the kitchen.
