Profile Information
- What does "holistic" mean to you?
- Natural childbirth, minimal if no western medicine, open minded-ness, gardening, understanding, breathing, LIFE, trust... in yourself, in the human spirit...SPIRIT, beautiful, raw, GOD.
- How long have you been interested in holistic living?
- About 7 years ago, I read EAT RIGHT for your blood type... I found out my blood type was a vegetarian. That was the introduction. I began to feel better, more energetic, it was a very natural transition for me.
- a little about me
- I have a 3 year old boy named Max. I learned every way I could have the healthiest pregnancy and after a natural childbirth I continued caring for him and healing him with Holistic medicine and an organic lifestyle.
Im not a stickler, he still enjoys occasional fast food- but I make it a priority.
Im a model/ actress so a healthy active lifestyle is constant- I would LOVE to meet like minded parents in my area!
- What professional or business affiliations do you offer?
- Well, as I said Im an actress. I have agencies and contacts in that sense- though Im not sure what the question is really asking.....

Have you moved here yet?
Pat
Hope to meet you soon!
Pat
Can I suggest renting until you get settled in. I know it is easier to buy and move in but I can tell you from exerience that renting, to get to know the area first, then decide where you want to be would be so much better. I wish I had done that, and If I ever move somewhere else that is what I will do. I like where I live but I think I may have chosen something different if I had the option. If you want any info on the Northern side of Charlotte I may be able to help.
Jenn
Oh- and Pat really does like house hunting, LOL! She has already found me a couple new houses and I've only lived here a year. She is always trying to get us closer.
We are in Weddington, which is just outside of Charlotte, 3 miles to the YMCA, grocery stores, Home Depot, restaurants, etc. But, very suburbia. We have 2 acres, animals and garden and homeschool. But, you have to get in the car to get anywhere. Drive 20 minutes and you can be about wherever you want to go. But, it isn't rural or town.
If you want high crunch-factor, Asheville has more organic, gluten-free-ish options as a "norm". We have farmer's markets, but even baby wearing is "alternative", lol. In Asheville, alternative is "normal". I'd think King's Mtn. is old world. And comparatively, Charlotte would feel progressive. Compared to NY, Charlotte is s.l.o.w.
Renting is certainly an option to get a feel for the area! But, the housing market is soft right now, so your housing options are HUGE and cheap for another 6 months, at least. Rent would be cheap too. When are you moving here? Maybe rent until spring? That is TWO moves with a baby though!
I know you'll find what feels like "home" when you are ready!
Pat
Glad you could join us. I have 3 kids 8 ds, 6 dd and a 3 yr old boy also.
We have lived in the Charlotte area for a year now and love it. Hope to se you at some gatherings when you get here.
Jenn
Have you all found a house, where you want to live, yet? We are in south Charlotte, our son is seven.
Glad you joined us. We have monthly MNO and monthly holistic meetings with a presentation about some aspect of holistic living. Hope to meet you soon!
