Covid Care Sessions
Seeking 1:1 support as you navigate the ongoing C19 pandemic?
Experiencing emotional or physical health impacts, ruptures in relationship,
or just general strain in the current climate of covid denial?
Consider booking a care session!
COVID Care Sessions
COVID Care Sessions are a new offering for community that began in 2024. In these sessions, we make space to talk about COVID as it has shaped our bodies, lives and communities.
These sessions are a space to discuss both the physical health impacts of COVID, LongC and Post-C issues, as well as the emotional aspects of living in an ongoing pandemic. If welcomed, these sessions may include herbal or dietary recommendations, as well as practices and invitations for heart tending, grief tending, boundary and integrity work, balancing connection with dignity, embodying our values even under pressure, ritual to connect with the sacred, and more.
These are spaces to share what is hard about your personal covid experiences set against the backdrop of societal covid experiences with an emphatic witness. This is a space to ask questions, and work through what is feeling hard for you. This is a space to connect – with deep self, with one another, with plants and to remember that we are not in this alone.
TIMELINE & RHYTHM
Opening sessions are typically two hours. Followup sessions can be anywhere from 30 minutes – 2 hours, depending on your needs.
Working together longer term allows for deeper healing, and if it feels right to both of us, we will start with monthly meetings, and then switch to seasonal sessions together. However, single sessions or less frequent sessions are also possible! Please email me if you have specific timeline needs beyond this.

a note on collaborative partnerships:
It’s important to me that all care relationships are collaborative and feel supportive to both of us if we decide to move forward together. it is essential that each person is at choice with how we move forward in order to build practitioner-client relationships without hierarchy. if this sounds like something you resonate with, lets discuss working together!

STAYING CONNECTED
My practice is slow, intentional and intimate. I’m not on social media so much; I do occasionally share things through my instagram, @hawthornandyew. However, the best way to stay in touch and hear whats new is to sign up for my newsletter HOME/BODY.
You’ll hear from me on a weekly-ish basis, and these notes will contain info on upcoming workshops and programs, new zines, things my friends are working on, and more alongside long form writing about things i’m learning about, feeling about, questioning and embodying. tune in for musings on herbs, relationship with the world, embodying our values, dreaming and moving towards a more just world, and the practices that will can help get us there.
