Monthly Chapter Meeting Kids and Money Tuesday, June 4th, 7 - 9 pm | Kids and Money: Let's talk about how early to introduce your kids to money, why bother, and different approaches to "allowance". We would love to welcome all parents/caregivers to attend as this is a family decision and can be a point of contention. Heather DeGeorge will facilitate using her own research to help answer questions and offer guidance on what she feels is a topic worth discussing for our kids futures.

| Member Highlight
| | How long have you been a member of HMN? 1 month I am a holistic mom because: I love my family! I have a fabulous husband of almost 8 years and 3 wonderful kids; Bryce, 5 ½; Ian, 3 ½ and Ellaina, 1. It wasn't until a few years ago when I began questioning the food I ate and the things I put on my body. I've always been extremely sensitive to fragrances on my skin, but never realized it was because fragrances are engineered. I was very naive! Then I joined Wildtree, an organic food company, and started doing Tasting Parties and Freezer Meal Workshops. I learned so much from all the women I met about food sensitivities and health. I started hearing things about dyes put in food, animals treated with hormones, how I shouldn't be cooking with olive oil, etc... just the basics really. I've started researching ingredients and the importance of using organic products. I am very concerned about my health and the health of my husband and 3 kids. I haven't quite felt like myself lately... very foggy, extremely tired, and bloated. Also my oldest son has started getting headaches and the effects of sugar on all my children scares me. Your holistic passions are: Healthy eating and skincare. I'm in the process of learning about everything else!
What inspires you about HMN or holistic living? It gives me peace to be around other like-minded moms. I've joined other moms groups, but sometimes feel like I don't belong... as if I'm the only one who cares what I'm eating, and like I'm being judged because I'm still nursing my 1 year old. I'm excited about learning how to be more holistic. I feel like I've just begun on my journey - I have so much more to discover and change. I really look forward to being around other moms who care about the same things as me, and who I can learn more from.

| Maya Abdominal Massage
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy are founded on the ancient Mayan technique of abdominal massage which is an external non invasive manipulation that repositions internal organs that have shifted, thereby restricting the flow of blood, lymph, nerve and chi. The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage address position and health of the pelvic and abdominal organs. The work is best known for the correction of the prolapsed, fallen, or tilted uterus and for aid in relief of the symptoms of menopause. Old adhesions from invasive treatments to the pelvic and abdominal area, including fibroid tumors, endometriosis, and cesarean delivery are diminished when addressed by uterine massage. In addition, digestion, urinary and bladder problems can be helped. Krysia has been practicing alternative medicine and therapy for almost 10 years. In that time, she has helped many people overcome injury and pain through natural, therapeutic methods. But her passion is the treatment of women's issues and infertility through the techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy. Krysia has helped countless families that have had trouble becoming and staying pregnant, even when traditional fertility methods have failed. It's not unusual for a woman to become pregnant after only a few sessions with Krysia. Through the techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy, Krysia has induced labor, reduced labor time and pain, and shortened recovery time after birth.
