Our Story

Welcome to Hawthorn Herbs and Healing! My name is Carly Roome, and I’m thrilled to share my journey with you. I graduated from Cornell College and then went on to receive certification in both Herbalism and Reiki. My path to herbalism began as a personal quest for healing that transformed into a passion for helping others.

Throughout my high school years, I was heavily involved in competitive sports until a significant injury changed my life. At just 18, I experienced my first bout of bulging disks and sciatic pain. For the next 12 years, I relied on painkillers that took a toll on my digestive health, leaving me in constant discomfort. It wasn’t until I underwent surgery that I finally found some relief. However, this experience ignited a desire to explore alternative solutions to pain management and wellness.

This quest led me to discover herbalism, which became a profound outlet for me. During my studies at Herbalism Roots, I immersed myself in a 600-hour course where I conducted numerous case studies. This hands-on work involved creating bespoke teas and tinctures, and I quickly fell in love with the art of blending teas that not only taste great but also nourish the body.

My philosophy embraces the complementary nature of both Western and herbal medicine. I believe that herbs are powerful tools that can help teach our bodies how to heal themselves. My goal is to provide delicious herbal teas while simultaneously educating others on how to blend their own unique creations.

To stay informed and enhance my practice, I am dedicated to continuous learning. I actively seek out books, podcasts, and educational opportunities that delve into the properties of herbs and their applications.

At Hawthorn Herbs and Healing, I aim to create a welcoming community where everyone feels empowered to explore the benefits of herbal remedies. Whether you’re seeking a soothing tea or guidance in your herbal journey, I’m here to help.

I look forward to being a part of your wellness journey!
