We’re building a team rooted in collaboration, integrity, and whole-person care. ✨❣️☯️

Hawthorn Holistic Health is growing, and we’re looking to add inspired and compassionate practitioners to our team! If you know someone amazing in the healing arts — think massage therapy, energy work, holistic bodywork, or wellness support — we’d love for you to send them our way.

✨ A quick note: To maintain healthy boundaries and uphold the highest standard of care, we do not hire current or past patients of the practice. Thank you for understanding and helping us preserve this supportive space.

If someone comes to mind, please forward this email or have them reach out directly by dropping off their resume, calling or emailing hawthornholistichealth@gmail.com to connect.

We do have a few practitioners we are already in the process of working with, so keep an eye on our socials, website and for more emails introducing the new team members.

We love playing with fire all day long 🔥

The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.

New used book haul for our ever growing waiting room library. Put down your phone and open a book! We have art supplies for creativity instead of tech too 🌿🍄‍🟫✨🌸🌳🎨 Dr Chim picked all these gems up for $4! From a great vendor when she was speaking at an event in Pennsylvania recently. Some of these titles are just too good- herbs with confidence!, “Just” weeds, herbs for use and delight, pods: wildflowers and weeds in their final beauty. Which one is your fav? Open them up next time you are here to connect to the medicines all around you in a new way ✨📚

MOXA SZN . 🌿🔥🍁✨☯️ As autumn settles in, our joints often remind us of the change in weather. Moxibustion—warming the body with the herb mugwort—brings gentle heat to support circulation, ease knee pain, and strengthen resilience.
This simple practice helps harmonize the body’s energy with the season, offering both comfort and grounding as we transition into fall. 🌿🔥🍂

This practice also nourishes Kidney qi, offering deep support for vitality and longevity. Especially for women’s health. Moxa aims to regulate the cycles, build energy, and warm the system, addressing cold, stuck, period pains and imbalances due to deficiency. Many women patients are more deficient and need their qi and blood to built up, grounded and gently tonified versus using points that can be too moving or overstimulating (and actually end up leaving them feeling anxious or drained). Gotta fill the well before you turn the water on! ✨

It is always a good time teaching alongside my mentor and friend Dr EZ! At last weekends herbal fun shop we walked the grounds for 2 hours learning about the local, wild medicines, some might call weeds. 🤓 We honored, gave thanks, gathered and processed the wild plants, with some of our favorite Gilberties garden herbs, to make a potent winter wellness cough formula, a healing skin salve and smudge sticks. Check the last slide for some equinox ☯️✨ magic in the salve pot!

Thanks to all who came for your enthusiasm and curiosity ! If you have pictures or videos, please share them with us 🥰🌿✨

🍂☯️✨as the sun sets on summer, we reflect on the equinox. This is a moment of perfect balance between day and night. It is a seasonal reminder to pause and notice where balance (or imbalance) shows up in our own lives.

As the days grow shorter and the air crisper, this shift invites us to turn inward—nourishing our bodies with warming foods, supporting our lungs and immune system, and letting go of what no longer serves us.

Nature reminds us that change is not only inevitable but also deeply restorative. When we align with these rhythms, we support resilience, renewal, and health on every level.

Wishing you a grounded, restorative season ahead.
🍁☯️💗🌻🎃

You can feel it all around you, the fall energy shifts are upon us 🍄🍁🍂🥣✨ our sound bath and balancing acu event on Friday Oct 3rd aims to ease this time of transition.

Kelvins leads you through a magical portal of sounds, calming and healing through frequencies. Paring it with a balancing acupuncture treatment, allows us to provide a uniquely resonate experience.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is governed by the Metal element and the Lung–Large Intestine pair, a time for refining, releasing, and tending our defenses and the boundaries between inner and outer. Gentle practices like acupuncture, slow belly breathing, sound healing and walking in nature support the body’s turn inward. Like the trees letting go of their leaves, make time to release what no longer serves you and build resilience for winter.

Also I had fun making this flyer 🤓🍄💫

🌼⚡️Spilanthes: the beloved electric daisy !
This vibrant flower isn’t just fun—it’s functional. Known for its tingling, numbing sensation, Spilanthes acmella has traditionally been used to support oral health, reduce inflammation, and stimulate lymphatic flow.

✨ Research suggests it has antimicrobial and immunomodulating properties, making it helpful for gum health, infections, and even as a gentle immune tonic.*
It’s like a botanical spark plug—activating saliva, circulation, and your senses!

Have you ever tried Spilanthes? 💛



*Studies:
• Spilanthes has shown antimicrobial effects against oral pathogens (J Ethnopharmacol. 2009)
• Demonstrated immunomodulatory activity in preclinical models (Int Immunopharmacol. 2011)

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Lindsay Chimileski, has been honored with the Vitalist Award for Vis Medicatrix Naturae!

This acknowledges the inherent ability of the body to heal itself, and the profound role that the natural world plays in supporting that process.

“This naturopathic physician’s very being seems to resonate with the energy of the natural world. Her passion for botanical medicine is evident in her deep knowledge and unwavering belief in the power of plants to heal and nourish. As a registered herbalist, she possesses an intimate understanding of the intricate chemistry and therapeutic potential held within the plant kingdom. Her expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine further underscores her connection to nature's wisdom, recognizing the flow of energy and the delicate balance within the body and its relationship to the environment. As an experienced educator, she has not only redesigned botanical medicine curriculum but continues to guide students through the complexities of advanced nutrition.
This dedication to shaping the next generation of healers, instilling in them a deep respect for nature's pharmacy, is truly commendable. To our honoree: You embody Vis Medicatrix Naturae not just in your clinical practice, but in the way you live and teach. You understand that we are intrinsically connected to the natural world, and that by honoring and harnessing its power, we can unlock profound healing potential. For your deep reverence for the healing power of nature, for your dedication to botanical medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and nutrition, and for your inspiring commitment to educating and empowering others, we are honored to present you with the Vitalist Award for Vis Medicatrix Naturae.”
