HOLISTIC MOMS GROUP

The Coeur d’Alene Holistic Mom’s Group is a FREE group sponsored by Spoelstra Family Chiropractic & FOCUS. The group is for ALL moms & soon-to-be moms (in Coeur d’Alene and the surrounding area) looking to get together for an evening of learning and socializing that is centered on creating a community of like-minded holistic moms. We meet the first Wednesday of every month. The meeting has a topic with either a presentation or activity related to holistic living, but the real purpose of the meeting is to get together, network with other moms, and maybe even enjoy a glass of wine and a few snacks ☺.

The group was started by 3 moms: Dr. Amy Spoelstra, Dr. Hannah Layden, and fellow holistic mama, Liz Droesch. We are all moms, but we have all had very different journeys to get to this point and life looks a little different for each one of us. This is true for all moms! Our goal was to create a safe place for community and connection while providing education and support. We are moms for moms, no matter what the story or where a mom is on her journey.

Dr. Amy and Dr. Hannah are two pediatric trained chiropractors who primarily work with families at Spoelstra Family Chiropractic & FOCUS. Dr. Amy has worked with the families of Coeur d’Alene for 10 years now and started her FOCUS program 7 years ago, specifically working with child brain development and people with neurodevelopmental challenges. Dr. Hannah’s passion has always been taking care of women and moms preconception, pregnancy (& postpartum), along with caring for their families.

Being in practice and working with a lot of different moms and their families, we saw a need for this type of group. There are a lot of groups online, and in fact, this group does have a private Facebook group as well, but we wanted to provide an opportunity to meet the person behind the online profile. So often mom groups become argumentative and opinionated! We wanted to have an actual connection with the moms in Coeur d’Alene and show that we are all real people, from different walks of life, trying to make the best decisions for our families with the tools and education we have. We don’t judge and we don’t shame. The truth is we are all trying to do the best we can as moms with the tools and information we have! We wanted to help facilitate a community that was safe and supportive of that journey.

To learn more about our Coeur d’Alene Holistic Mom’s Group or other FREE events that are always happening at our office, like and follow us on Facebook. We also utilize our private Facebook group for the mom’s in our group to continue to connect and have support online.  We ask that moms attend a meeting before they can be added to the online group. We want to meet you all in person!
