MEMBER HIGHLIGHT

AMY RIESELMAN

How long have you been a member of HMN? 
I joined when my younger son was 2 months old, so 10 1/2 years. 

I am a holistic mom because:  
It makes sense to me. The body is a complex miraculous entity that is completely interwoven with every other living thing and the universe. Therefore the laws of nature should be the rule for decisions we make about our own health and about the way we act in the world. 

My holistic passions are:  
I'm passionate about educating others about their choices, and about giving hope to people that are not familiar with alternatives to conventional medicine, etc. I am passionate about healthy living and of course about East Asian Medicine! 
 
What inspires you about HMN or holistic living?
HMN inspires me because it's a support network and information network and a friendship network!  We respect each other's differences and appreciate each other. We learn from each other and build community. 

    

One of my favorite recipes:

Asparagus Soup

I just made easy spring asparagus soup:  Steam some asparagus, and add it and a little of the steaming water to a blender.  You can add homemade broth as well if you have some. Add salt and pepper, and lemon to taste. If you have fresh herbs in your garden, throw some in there too! Blend on high until smooth.  Top with a drizzle of EVOO.
