Member Highlight
Amanda Kreuzer 
How long have you been a member of HMN?
I
became a member of HMN in December 2016.

I am a holistic mom because:
My journey to a holistic lifestyle is fairly new, however, it has always been a thought in my mind. After years of working in the medical field and observing how lifestyle choices  impacted ones health I started to ask myself, "what is the root cause of these illnesses and do we really need to take a pill to solve the problem?" This is what began my very new journey into holistic living. I really didn't get motivated to embrace a holistic lifestyle until I had my daughter about a year ago. Once she was handed to me I knew I needed be a good example and educator to encourage a healthier holistic lifestyle.

My holistic passions are:
Some of my holistic passions are using natural remedies and creating and more natural environment for my family. 

What inspires you about HMN or holistic living?
I feel extremely blessed to have HMN at my fingertips to help guide me through this new way of life.  It is truly amazing that I can ask a question on FB and receive feedback almost immediately. Knowing I have a village of like minded moms has been my saving grace as I grow into a holistic mom.

Safe, Organic Lawn Care!  Our services include:

- Organic/Natural lawn care
- Weed Control
- Grub Control
- Core Aeration/Overseeding
- Tree/Shrub Fertilizing

Organic/Natural Program or Organic Based Blended Program 

We start by finding out what type of lawn you are looking for, then we come up with a plan to get your lawn to that point. 

We then take care of the soil and fix any problems that are preventing your lawn from growing properly. 

As we take care of  your lawn/soil you will see the transformation from a hard compacted soil with thin grass to a thick, healthy lawn with soil that is full of life and organic matter.

We have a mixture of Compost Tea and Kelp that we spray on our lawns to make them healthy and beautiful without all those nasty chemical fertilizers.
