Chapter Leaders
Our Tennessee Chapter Leaders are the heart of Children’s Health Defense at the local level. They are parents, professionals and advocates committed to protecting children’s health, preserving parental rights and empowering families with education, community and support.
Each leader brings a unique background and perspective, but all share a common goal: to stand for informed consent, transparency and the well-being of Tennessee families.
Meet Our Chapter Leaders
Ashlee Stoeppler
Ashlee has been a TN Chapter Leader since January 2024 and is located in Middle TN. She first joined the Children’s Health Defense community by becoming a Mentor Mom and serving as the Program Coordinator for the program since the inception. She now leads the Mentor Mom program and is actively working to expand its reach across additional areas of Tennessee, while also collaborating with other state chapters to support replication and growth in communities nationwide. Her focus is developing sustainable leadership, strengthening local networks and ensuring families have access to trusted support rooted in informed consent, parental rights and community connection.
Through her motherhood journey she came to understand how vital it is for mothers to feel supported, informed and empowered when making decisions for their children. This experience strengthened her advocacy for holistic health, women’s wellness and the fundamental right of families to make medical decisions free from coercion or misinformation.

Shanae Holloman
Shanae has been a TN Chapter Leader since November 2025 and is in Middle TN. She is a wife, mother of six and devoted follower of Jesus with deep roots in holistic health, homeschooling, fitness, herbalism and nature. For the past eight years, she has been a powerful advocate for informed consent — founding New Mexico Freedom Keepers, engaging in legislative efforts and raising awareness after two of her children were vaccine-injured.
Her decade-long journey to help heal her son from autism has shaped her mission, and she gives all glory to God for his recovery. After relocating to Spring Hill in 2025, Shanae has continued her work to protect children’s health and parental rights.
