Find Your Tribe!

Welcome to the Northern Virginia chapter of the Holistic Moms Network. Our purpose is to generate national awareness, education, and support for holistic parenting and to provide a nurturing, open-minded, and respectful community for parents to share these ideals. There is no checklist or litmus test of "holistic enough." HMN welcomes anyone who is interested in holistic health, natural parenting and/or green living. Please take a moment to browse the posts and learn a little more about us. As always, feel free to contact co-leaders, Alexa & Laurie, at HMNofNOVA@gmail.com with any questions or for more information.

July Meeting: Intimacy and Parenthood

Just a reminder that the meeting is next Tuesday at the NoVA Natural Birth Center. We hope to see you there! If you haven't met Dr Ruthie yet, you are missing out! :)

PLEASE NOTE: We always welcome children at meetings, but as the subject matter will be adult oriented and question and answer may be quite specific and explicit, we encourage you to consider whether your child is ready to hear this level of mature content.

JUL 2012 Meeting - July 10: “Intimacy and Parenthood” Join Dr. Ruth Neustifter of http://exploringintimacy.com/ to talk about how pregnancy, birth, nursing, children, and parenthood in general changes our sexual relationships. Learn some tips and tricks to bring the spark back in. Bring you partner and your questions!

Meeting Changes

Just a few reminders:

  • Starting July 2012, we will be meeting on the SECOND Tuesday of each month instead of the first Tuesday.  Meeting location remains the same at the Fairfax Church of Christ (except July).
