You can find Cheryl enjoying all that Colorado has to offer – from exploring new hiking trails to paddle boarding, and getting more comfortable every year on skis. She is dedicated to learning and growing as a clinician and enjoys traveling to learn from the leading experts in the field of acupuncture and herbal medicine. Finally, she loves to spend quality time resting, relaxing and laughing with her husband, son, and their chihuahua mix, Henry.

Sydney is an Integrative Health Care graduate with a deep passion for lifestyle medicine and herbalism. Through studying a holistic approach to health and wellness, from botanical pharmacology and women's health workshops to Chinese medicine and naturopathic material, she found her place in the world of holistic health care. As Hawthorne's patient care coordinator and acupuncture assistant, Sydney brings compassion, trust, and care to every step of your visit. She's the one helping schedule your appointments, answering your questions, and making sure you're comfortable and well cared for from the moment you arrive until the end of your session.

Sydney is also the founder and owner of Grace Botanicals, a natural self care product line of oils, balms, sprays, and salts infused with botanical elements. With a cosmetology license and years in the beauty industry behind her, she saw a need for a more natural, non-toxic approach to self care.

In my free time I love to cook nutritious meals that also have medicinal value. I enjoy camping and bushcrafting in the wilderness with my husband. I'm also constantly experimenting in my apothecary batching new formulas, drying herbs, and alchemizing oils. And lastly, during the warmer seasons you'll find me out in the garden tending to my plants and in harvest mode.
