Hello,
I'm Dr. Amy Hawthorne!
I'm not just ONE thing, and I bet neither are you! I'm a lover of the ocean and the outdoors, a mother to a 9 year old little girl and 11 year old boy, mom to two cats; and an awesome partner to do it all with. On the weekends you'll find us at Jui Jitsu or horseback riding classes for the kids, spending the day at the beach, or playing board games (Catan is our favorite). We love movies and all sorts of international food.
​
On a professional note, I've been in practice 15 years and absolutely love being a chiropractor! My favorite thing about it is getting to know my patients and their families and being a trusted part of their health-care team for many years. Those relationships are priceless! It's so special to see my patients adopt new healthier choices and habits, heal from chronic pain and symptoms, become empowered in their own health journey and to get to be a part of that process.
​
My own journey with Chiropractic began due to my passion for horseback riding. I had some falls that led me to see Chiropractors as a teenager and got to experience the incredible benefits of chiropractic adjustments. Healing my own injuries with Chiropractic care, nutrition & detoxification, yoga, and exercise led me to want to help others do the same. I help my patients regain and maintain health and function, so they can keep enjoying life as it's meant to be - free of pain and able to do the activities they enjoy with their loved-ones!
