Parenting is a tough job. It's even harder when you are choosing to do things "differently" -- whether that means seeking out holistic therapies for your family, eating organic foods, living green, co-sleeping, homeschooling, fighting commercialism, or trying to live simply. But there are moms out there just like you who are seeking to nurture their children and to empower themselves!
Holistic Moms Network (HMN) members share a common bond: a desire to be the best parents possible by providing our children with a physical, psychological, and spiritual environment that will nourish them and allow them to reach their greatest potential. To nurture our children, we strive to educate ourselves and to make choices that will enable them in mind, body, and spirit.
Children in today's world face increasing challenges and risks and we, as parents, must commit to staying informed of the most serious dangers and the greatest opportunities that affect our children, so that we can make the best decisions on their behalf. We feel that protecting and nurturing our children is our single most important responsibility.
We, as women, also seek to empower ourselves as individuals and as parents. We want to be informed of our options and to be free to make the choices that best suit our families and that make a positive impact on the world. Many of us tuned into natural, holistic health in parenthood. As we set on the path to discover the best for our children, we have also learned how to optimize our own health and well-being through education, knowledge, and support. We realized that we can only be teachers and role models to our children if we are first informed and healthy individuals ourselves.
Coming together as holistic parents and supporting one another empowers us through support, validation, and education. Providing the opportunity to learn and grow together enables us to make the best decisions we can, affirms our choices, and creates a wonderfully diverse community for us to participate in. Through our HMN chapters, we hope to renew and reinvigorate ourselves and each other, learn from one another, and to share in our passion for holistic and green parenting.
