Thoughts are Things: Shift your thoughts and change your life!
Dr. Jaena Gonzaga , D.C.
Your life is a reflection of your thoughts. Learn how thoughts are things. Understand that what you think about is what you bring about. 80% of conversation is to ourselves and most of it is negative. Learn how to use your thoughts in a way that is empowering and enhances your ability to attract the life that you desire. This can be in terms of health, finances, relationship, personal growth…etc. The possibilities are endless. Allow what you learn to become a way of life. Success comes from you not to you.
The application of feelings and beliefs will also be discussed.
A special bonus: An interactive demonstration on how your thoughts expand and contract your own electromagnetic field will be performed.
Learn a simple yet powerful exercise that will harness your ability to integrate new belief patterns into your system.

Holistic Healthcare for the Whole Family
Holistic Mom’s Network and Chicago Healers Family Health Series
Dr. Hugh Jenkins, N.D., D.C.
With the increasing rise of the “SUPER BUGS” and the decreased protection of antibiotics, we must find an alternative to fight off these pathogenic organisms. With Naturopathic medicine, God has provided a non-invasive cure for all dis-ease. There are natural remedies for the “SUPER BUGS” that will kill them and not destroy our good probiotics. These remedies also have no side effects and/or cross reactions like drugs. This is a plus because the immune systems is already weakened by the “SUPER BUGS” and doesn’t need to be further abused by the cure.

We human beings are complex and multidimensional. Often we live in limited and habitual patterns that do not allow us to experience our full potential. Healing is the process by which we bring more of ourselves and our inner truth into our lives. Whether there is a physical illness, hormonal imbalance, or emotional issue that calls them into the healing process. We look at 5 aspects of ourselves that function simultaneously, making the fabric of who we are, and then work with each of these. When all 5 aspects are addressed and working together, we come into alignment, and have an opportunity to experience true well-being and health. The 5 Aspects of Healing provide a framework for achieving total health. They are: Spirit, Mind, Body, Emotions and Relationships.

Vision is often the missing link in learning and reading problems

Chicago Healers Practioner Dr. Jeffrey H. Getzell will discuss that sight is seeing clearly. Vision is perceiving, processing and performing. When our vision is under performing we can have confusion in what we are seeing or reading, distractibility or disorganization. The obvious sign is little or no interest in reading or homework that is a nightly battle to get done.

Anti-Aging Through Nutrition and Cosmetic Acupuncture with Dr. Monica Talebnia DC, MS
Based on a very ancient healing art that naturally stimulates the skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin, Cosmetic Acupuncture is a safe, basically painless, holistic-minded person’s solution to cosmetic surgery or Botox. Facial rejuvenation does not compromise or invade the integrity of your skin or who you are deep inside. As people return to a more natural approach to beauty and to functional medicine, finding true inner and outer beauty and whole health is attainable, assisting the body in restoring its natural ability to heal, and staying young through lifestyle changes, nutrition and other factors that support overall health and well-being.

3) Create Change One Thought at a Time
Dr. Helen Lee, D.C., Touch of Life Chiropractic, Hofffman Estates
What if all the power we need to lead healthy, happy lives is within us already? We all know about recycling, energy saving light bulbs, not letting the water run too long, but what about how we take care of ourselves and what we think ? Lee gives the following tips on how living a healthy life not only improves the quality of your life, but improves the health of our planet. Consciously choose to see and expand what’s already perfect and beautiful in a world that often sensationalizes what’s wrong and negative. As Mahatma Gandhi stated so eloquently, “Be the Change you wish to see in the World.” It has a ripple effect.

2) The Law of Attraction and Taking Care of You
Holistic Mom’s Network and Chicago Healers Family Health Series
Sharon M. Weinstein, MS, RN, CRNI, FAAN
Since the beginning of time, these basic universal principles of life have applied to everyone, everywhere – moms, dads, kids and more. They cannot be changed. They cannot be broken. They work for all, every time. Once you “get it”, there is no looking back! It will be part of you forever. The simplest definition of this law is “like attracts like.” But, other definitions:
1. You get what you think about, whether wanted or unwanted.
2. You are a living magnet.
3. You get what you put your energy and focus on, whether wanted or unwanted.
4. Energy attracts like energy

And, the law works for holistic moms. We have a choice about those with whom we surround ourselves. We have a choice about simplifying our lives. In a culture in which workaholics are revered, it is easy to catch the train – to follow the crowd – to do more. This interactive session will address how we react to everything that happens to us and how we can take care of ourselves to ensure that good things do happen to us!
