athy Arnos began her professional writing career in 1988 as publisher and editor of Mother to Mother: Another View, a newsletter focusing on alternative health and environmental issues for the entire family. She started the newsletter as a response to her daughter Danielle’s chronic illness after childhood vaccines, and her journey back to good health through natural healing methods.

While continuing to publish Mother to Mother, Kathy became a member of the Environmental Advisory Board for Let’s Live magazine in 1989. When the board was dissolved in 1994 she began writing for Nutrition Insights, a newsletter affiliated with Let’s Live magazine, as well as many other periodicals, in print and online.

In 1991, Kathy published her first book, Bach Flowers for Children, introducing parents to the gentle influence of flower essences on a child’s particular emotional state. It is an excellent reference guide for the practical application and use of the flowers with children.

One of the highlights of her writing career was having the opportunity to interview Benjamin Spock, M.D., the authority on children’s health. Kathy states, "It was an amazing opportunity for me to discuss children’s health issues with someone so highly respected. We shared ideas and found we had a lot in common. He was very open to alternative parenting methods. It was a great honor.”

Also in 1991, Kathy produced and hosted a 30-minute television show, "Raising Healthy Children Without Drugs," which aired on local cable television. Her guests included medical doctors, pharmacists and holistic practitioners.

The Los Angeles Times dubbed her, "Medicine Mom" and L.A. Weekly called her the "Good Mother." In the early 1990s Laura Diaz featured Kathy and her daughter in her special report on holistic medicine, which aired on the Channel 7 Eyewitness News in Los Angeles.

Currently, Kathy continues to write freelance for several newspapers and magazines including L.A. Family Magazine, and sits on the Advisory Boards for Calfornia Safe Schools and the Holistic Pediatric Association. She is also the creator and producer of the Whole Children, Whole Planet Expo, the first natural parenting and family expo to introduce families to the benefits of natural products, organics foods, natural medicine, enrichment learning programs, sustainable living practices and important health and environmental issues. The first WCWP Expo was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center over Earth Day weekend 2006. The next Expo is scheduled for May 17-18, 2008 at Highland Hall Waldorf School in Northridge California.

Kathy has been lecturing and teaching parents about health and environmental issues for more than 20 years and states, "My daughter has definitely been my teacher, opening my eyes to another view. We are all put here for a reason, to walk a certain path. My journey is about my truth – not everyone’s truth will be the same. As parents, it is our job and responsibility to keep our children safe and healthy, which means doing research in order to make informed choices. When Danielle was a baby, I didn’t take time to do this research and trusted that her pediatrician knew what was best for her. This mistake almost cost us our daughter's health. My goal is not to convert other parents into believing my truth, but to give them the tools and knowledge they need to help them make educated decisions about what is right for their child – their truth. I hope my new book, The Complete Teething Guide offers parents this guidance."
