Diane Schnickels
Founder and President of Living Waters of Hope
I am a certified counselor, a certified domestic abuse advocate, and a student of God’s Word. Continuing education is part of my routine through books, videos, and training seminars and webinars to name a few. I have led domestic abuse training seminars in three different states and speak for women’s groups teaching them how to walk with women in crisis.
My passion is to help restore hope and dignity to women who have been so wounded by domestic abuse. Previously, I had been involved with my husband in the areas of Christian conference center ministry as well as a pastor’s wife.
