Hawthorn Healing Arts History
Hawthorn Healing Arts Center was founded by holistic providers Joshua Phillips, ND and Chelsea Phillips, LAc. It is located in the heart of Bend at a historic and beautiful locale, just a few blocks from the Deschutes River. Over the years the business has taken on a life and energy of its own, becoming a hub of health and wellness for the community.
The vision of Hawthorn was born from the understanding that health, vitality and recovering from illness is a multi-faceted and sometimes complex process. After years of practicing in smaller offices, Chelsea and Dr Phillips saw that often patients were compelled to go from doctor to doctor having different professionals pay attention to different facets of their health/illness story. Under this system patients and doctors alike were not able to comprehensively address the whole body. It became clear that by offering a greater collaboration and synergy between healthcare providers would be a more effective environment for healthcare and a better model for treating patients.
It also became clear in those early years of naturopathic practice, that even with the best diagnosis and treatment plans, in many cases the real nature of an individual’s illness was related to how they were living their lives. Until a patient begins to make lifestyle changes that are consistent with a healthy body and vibrant life, not much will change for that patient.
Hence, the vision of a holistic health center was born. This new healthcare model offers patients not only the opportunity to work with a collaborative group of likeminded healthcare providers but also gives them a chance to participate in classes and workshops that are geared toward inspiration and selfcare.
“We understand that wellbeing and vitality of the body is deeply connected to the mind and spirit. In our unique practice, we are able to address mental and emotional concerns along with physical and physiologic issues as part of the healing process,” explains Dr. Phillips. “The mission of Hawthorn Healing Arts Center is to offer access to providers, classes and workshops, that expand the possibilities for a truly holistic approach to an individual’s overall health and wellbeing.”
All of these years later, Hawthorn has grown to offer not just Naturopathic and Chinese medicine, but now includes providers with expertise in Chiropractic care and massage therapy, Women’s Health and gynecological care, Counseling, as well as Regenerative medicine procedures including hyperbaric oxygen and IV nutritional therapy.
