☀️ While we are still soaking in the warmth and long days of summer, cooler nights remind us of the need to nourish ourselves for a graceful transition into autumn’s rhythm.

✨ Autumn Resonance ✨

An intimate evening of sound, restoration and seasonal balance.

Sound healer Kelvin Young guides you through a transformative sound journey as Dr. Lindsay Chimileski weaves in Traditional Chinese Medicine to honor the autumn metal season—supporting the lungs, letting go, and finding balance. The optional acupuncture will be gently amplified by the resonant waves of sound moving through the room to deepen relaxation and seasonal alignment. ☯️

🗓️ Oct 3rd 6-730pm: optional tea after
📍 Hawthorn Holistic Health, hamden ct

Okay, now back to basking in the summer sun and welcoming harvest season! 😎🌻🥕🌽🍅🥬🍉

✨🤰✨ Holding space through the sacred seasons of pregnancy is one of my greatest joys. In the final trimester, acupuncture and cupping can bring profound comfort — easing back pain, calming a busy mind, melting tension, and helping the body prepare for birth. 🌿🤰💫

Pregnancy is not always rainbows and butterflies. Mamas to be are often excited but exhausted, swollen, hungry, sore, backed up and feeling restless while the body does its deep beautiful work. We aim to provide pockets of peace before baby arrives. Treatments are offered side-lying, so both mama and baby can truly relax while tension in the sacrum, shoulders and hips gently unwinds.

🌼⚡️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)
