| | | MONTHLY CHAPTER MEETING YOUR CHILD'S HOLISTIC RX Complimentary Alternative Medicine and Mothering With Dr. Miravone Dorough Wednesday, September 18th, 7pm The use of Complimentary Alternative Medicine (CAM) appears to be increasing among the pediatric population for conditions ranging from common colds to autoimmunity. The world of allopathic medicine is learning to adapt to the demands of complimentary alternative medicine from parents since the harmony would bring forward an immense amount of benefit for the whole family. Dr. Miravone will discuss some common conditions with Chiropractic and Naturopathic approaches as well as how this all fits in to the paradox of natural mothering.

Wednesday, October 16th, 7pm HOLISTIC MOMS CONNECT Come connect with other like-minded moms while discussing a certain topic or doing a fun take-home project! | | | MEMBER HIGHLIGHT MICHELLE DAUGHERTY How long have you been a member of HMN? 7 years --Before getting pregnant with my first child :) I am a holistic mom because: I believe in being my own advocate for my and my family's health and honoring the body's inborn healing potential. I have an insatiable thirst to get to the root cause of health problems. This has ultimately led to my career path in the Chiropractic field serving families with a specialty in prenatal, pediatrics, and women's hormonal health. My holistic passions are... Chiropractic and natural healthcare, green living, nourishing foods, and DIY non-toxic products. What inspires you about HMN or holistic living? The wealth of knowledge and support amongst our chapter's mamas who truly care. This in turn encourages me to continue leading by example personally and professionally to help make a difference in the next generation. One of my favorite recipes: GARLIC TEA I make this immune boosting tea frequently between Labor Day and Memorial Day. 1 c boiling Water 2 cloves of Garlic 1 tsp fresh ginger root, minced 1 tsp raw honey Juice of 1 lemon 1.
