During this Earth Day Weekend The los Angeles Convention Center will be host to the first Natural Parenting and Family Expo. The event is the brain child of Kathy Arnos. Kathy is a California-based mother, author and producer who recognized a need for guidance and education in the community for creating more balanced lifestyles.

Kathy is the author of the complete teething guide and Bach flowers for children. The Expo is sponsored by many notable and reputable organizations such as The Whole Foods Markets grocery chain and Organic Family to name a few. You can find a complete list of their sponsors here: Natural Expo Sponsors

Kathy is committed to helping families find a natural alternative to caring for the medical and emotional needs that both children and families have. This expo is on the cusp and cutting edge of providing a unique networking forum where families seeking natural solutions can interact and share their ideas. This expo will provide a special opportunity for families wanting to follow natural parenting to develop community amongst themselves.

It is our hope that The momentum built from this event will continue to build as the particpants reach out to each other. This will hopefully lead to the establishment of think tanks and institutions that will further make the public aware of the many natural parenting options that are available for them.
