with cultural divisiveness and myriad health issues and these events are sure

to inspire and empower everyone involved to create a healthier, happier future

for our children.” 

The annual event unites members and attendees from across the

country who share an

interest in holistic living and parenting. Community-building

and support are at the heart of

the Holistic Moms Network’s mission. “Connecting parents to

each other, as well as to experts who can educate them and companies they can

trust, all helps them to make positive lifestyle changes,” said Massotto.

In addition to the speakers and awardees, the events will

feature natural products industry leaders and sponsors such as Organic Valley, the largest

cooperative of organic farmers in the United States, and Boiron, world
