At HAWTHORNE HEALING CENTER, (which has now merged with MINDFUL THERAPY, PNW) our therapists come first.  All too often in the health & wellness industry, professionals are over-scheduled, over-worked and face unnecessary burn out.  Our priority is to provide an abundantly healthy environment for those who work here.  We can achieve this by keeping relationship and life balance in the forefront, while allowing client numbers and monetary profit to come second.  Practically, we help our therapist to create schedule boundaries, work/life goals, vacation/self-care time and offer staff support meetings and retreats.  By supporting the health of our therapists and putting their needs first, we can then offer our best services to our clients and effect powerful change in the community.  It all begins by example.  So as therapists, we strive to come from a place of abundance to serve, rather than a place of depletion.
