Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Licensed Acupuncturist

Cheryl understands that healthcare is about more than just treating individual symptoms – it’s about creating holistic care plans tailored to her patients and their goals. With 13 years of experience specializing in women’s health, fertility, chronic pain and neuropathy treatment with acupuncture and lifestyle modification, she is uniquely positioned to help her patients achieve the results they long for – be it a pregnancy announcement or relief from persistent pain! 

Her mission is to provide compassionate, individualized care while empowering each of her patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their own health journey. She continues to strive towards an equitable society where everyone has access to quality healthcare that works for them! The ultimate vision of Hawthorne Acupuncture is one where no patient ever feels alone on their healthcare journey; guided by a dedicated practitioner who values collaboration as much as clinical impact.

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.

Holistic Health Coach & Patient Care Coordinator

Maggie is the patient care coordinator and Certified Nutrition Coach here in the office. She was a patient of Cheryl’s for over a year before she got the opportunity to work for her! Cheryl’s acupuncture treatments have helped her with so many ailments including anxiety, digestion, and sleep. She looks forward to seeing the lives of our patients change as well!

A little background on Maggie: She is a certified nutrition coach with both an undergraduate and master’s degree in nutrition and dietetics. She previously worked as a nutrition coach, health coach, and chiropractic assistant. She has also taken courses specifically on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nutrition to better assist our patients in healing their symptoms through nutrition!

She loves hiking and camping with her husband and two fur babies (Bruce and Crosby)! She is also an avid watcher of any cheesy early 2000’s reality shows. 

She can’t wait to get to know all of you! Cheers to health! 

Patient Care Coordinator

Elizabeth is the patient care coordinator/office manager at Hawthorne Acupuncture. She is a recent graduate from Metro-Denver with a degree in human biology and an emphasis on nutrition and chemistry. She understands the importance of knowing how the body and mind work. After graduating, she was not feeling fulfilled in her position as a pharmacy technician and her soul was telling her to abandon her idea of pursuing pharmacy school. After finding Cheryl at Hawthorne Acupuncture and almost immediately feeling better from her services, she knew she wanted to learn more. 

Off the clock:

Elizabeth enjoys working with her hands and using her creativity. Crafting, gardening, building legos, and reading good books are just a few things she enjoys when she’s not at work. She also volunteers for a local dog shelter helping to transport and locate new homes for dogs who are in need of help. She is a lover of all animals and also walks dogs for fun on the side.
