I joined recently - excited to meet other health-focused moms! I am a holistic mom because: My kids are everything to me, and they deserve to have the best and healthiest future possible <3 My holistic passions are: I am a certified integrative nutrition health coach, and I love working with busy moms to help them integrate healthy habits into their daily lives so they can be the example of healthy living for their kids!  They are the next generation, and it all starts when they are young - if we give them the tools early, they will grow into adults that believe in healthy living! What inspires you about HMN or holistic living? Finding my tribe! :)  It's tough to make significant changes alone, but we are stronger as a group, and I believe we can change the landscape of our country, one life at a time.
