Cassidy Phoenix
From a young age Cassidy has had a passion for caring for others. She is very well trained in the service industry and has worked closely with children since she was 9 years old. Cassidy has also had experience living in different types of communal situations which has given her a solid perspective on the way things could be if people work together for common goals. When her son was born in Massachusetts she was blessed by a non-profit called "Hilltown Village Closet" where she was able to receive much needed baby items 100% for free. After experiencing what could be possible in every community she vowed to herself to start something similar in her home town Sedona AZ. Today, Cassidy is a single mom working full-time while also working diligently to start a legal 501c3 non-profit to bring families and community together to help meet their basic needs and build a strong foundation for her son to grow up and feel supported and loved by the community. Because it really does take a village to raise a child!
Micheala Ehrlich
Micheala was born with a heart to serve and she is continually making a difference in the lives of others. Bringing our community together, and supporting one another is what gives her joy, and she believes parents shouldn’t have to go through parent-hood alone. As a youth, she frequently took mission trips to Mexico to help build churches, do rehab on an orphanage, and work at the orphanage bringing children clothing, toys, food, unconditional love, joy, and so much more. Micheala enjoys family time, hiking, going to the creek, running, making candles, sports, and lots of play dates. Sedona is home to Micheala, her husband, and their 3 boys.
Corrina Coll
Corrina grew up in Sedona and has stayed in the Verde Valley most of her life. She is a mom to a little boy and has a passion for helping other mothers in need. Corrina became a cosmetologist in 2017 and has invested some of her time volunteering to help young families in Mexico and elsewhere with free haircuts for their children. She believes little acts of kindness can go a long way, and is excited to see how The Verde Villages will positively impact the lives of families in her community.
Victoria Padilla
As a child, Victoria had a passion for connecting with mothers and children. She was frequently seen surrounded by children and asking parents when she could babysit. As Victoria transitioned into motherhood she realized the true need for community and found herself frequently dreaming up ways to create new systems and walk through life mutually supported. Sedona called Victoria, her partner and two boys in 2020 – and a daughter soon joined the family. Experiencing pregnancy in the Sedona community was a new and rewarding experience for Victoria – she found her thirst being quenched. When Victoria found The Verde Villages in need of a treasurer, she felt as if a dream was coming to fruition. Holding a Bachelor’s in Accounting, Victoria had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use her passion for numbers, organization and practicality. She is ecstatic to now be answering the call.

She is driven to support mothers and growing families by being a member of the board for The Verde Villages and with her work as a certified holistic doula. She offers in-home prenatal & postpartum care and also hosts village prenatal gatherings. Numi lives in Sedona, Az where she enjoys exploring the outdoors with her husband and two children.
Kelly Ann Zang
Kelly is a Sedona local with a strong desire for creating community. Her passion for community began when she and her husband had their first child and realized that living in “nuclear families” creates a sense of loneliness that is the opposite of our natural ancestral way. As her own family grows, Kelly is determined to help gather fellow parents so that the communal support and love is flowing with abundance.
