We Have An Exciting and Important Announcement!

💖💖💖 𝐖𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠!!!! 💖💖💖

Since we made that post back on August 4th, there have been so many of you who have expressed their desire to see us stay open, and have been offering us suggestions and feedback for what we can do to keep things going. We also did not want to close, and have been listening. The suggestion that definitely made the best sense for us was reducing our overhead. When we moved to our current location, it was a perfect size for two practitioners as well as room for the school Bridget was running at the time. Now, it's just a lot of empty/wasted space that is too much for just one practitioner.

Just recently, we learned that an old office space that Bridget once worked out of over 20 years ago is becoming available again. The size is actually PERFECT for what we need and we found it serendipitous that an old office space that worked well for her for years is opening up in a time we needed it the most. Bridget used to tell people “the Devil pushes and God leads”, and we felt like that was her leading us in that direction. 💜

The plans are to be moving to this new location after the first of the year (we’ll post another update once we have the official address and we have an exact date)!

In the meantime, we just want to say Thank You again to everyone who has been helping us through support and feedback! We couldn't have survived this long to reach this new chapter in our lives without your help and we are forever grateful! 🫶

Some things of note:

When we move, some things will change in terms of operation:

1. Because it's going to be a smaller office space, it’s going to be June running the show as a solo act. Dale will be selling this current building space we're in now, stepping back, and retiring. So June will still be here providing all the same services that she and Bridget have offered for so many years! But there will no longer be a reception desk or store front to walk in to. That being said:

2. Starting November 1st, we are going to be switching to new hours!
The office will be open “By Appointment Only” and we will only have one day where we are open to the public to swing through and pick up supplements and/or make appointments in person.
In preparation for this big change, we decided it would be easier on everyone if we started transitioning over to this new routine before we move. (It’ll make things feel less overwhelming if we start now, rather than just move and change everything all at once. 🙂)

This will be our new Hours of Operation:

Monday: By Appointment Only
Tuesday: 11:00am – 4:00pm
^ for winter only, otherwise it’s 10:00am – 5:00pm in the summer
Wednesday: By Appointment Only
Thursday: By Appointment Only
Friday: By Appointment Only
Saturday: CLOSED
Sunday: CLOSED

Frequently Asked Questions
(answered by June)

"Can I just walk in anytime on Mon/Wed/Thurs/Fri?"
Sadly, no (though you may get lucky and the door might be open when I’m in between clients.) Otherwise, we will only be open to scheduled clients on those By Appointment Only days.

"If there’s no longer a store front, where will the supplements be?"
All the supplements will be in my room, where I can easily grab what I need for clients when they’re in the room with me, as well as to keep an eye on them while I’m currently in session.

"What happens if I need to pick up supplements on a day that’s not a Tuesday?"
No problem! Just call the office and let me know when you’d like to swing in! If I happen to have a client scheduled at the time you’re coming through, we can try to co-ordinate the pickup in a way where I can be available and waiting for you. 😄

School is in full swing! 🎒✏️ And the leaves are beginning to change, which means: Fall is coming! 🍁

With everyone now officially back to school, it also means that the first wave of Cold & Flu cases will begin to spike. 🤧 Now would be a good time to have your “Flu Kits” stocked and ready to go!

We always recommend the standard Vitamin C and Zinc as good choices, but we also encourage everyone to have these extra herbs as great additions to any Flu Kit:

𝐄𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲:
One of its chemical compounds (called sambucus nigra agglutinin) was shown in a study to be able to prevent the influenza virus from entering host cells by grabbing the virus and preventing its ability to replicate. This chemical compound has also been shown to help encourage the immune system to respond in the event of virus exposure by signaling Interleukins 6 and 8, which are important in targeting and fighting off infections and inflammation.

𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐞:
This herb has a tremendous effect on the body’s cellular inflammation and degeneration! Its antioxidant properties (such as carnosol and rosmarinic acid) encourage the body to produce its own antioxidants, like glutathione (which is needed to help the body clear itself of toxins like molds and industrial pollutants) and super oxide dismutase (which protects the cells from harmful free radicals). Extracts of sage in clinical studies showed it had effects on the release of nitric oxide from macrophages (important immune fighting cells), therefore increasing its cytotoxic effect against unwanted pathogens, from viruses to various forms of cancer cells!

𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐩𝐬:
Its high vitamin c content, along with its flavonoids (such as rutin, quercetin, and eriodictyol) and antioxidants (such as ellagic acid and kaempferol), help aid in the fight against viruses and reduce overall inflammation in the body. This makes rose hips a valuable addition to any at-home medicinal cupboard!

So head out to get your elderberry syrup, get some sage oil and rose hips for at-home teas, and keep your immune systems healthy while the new season changes! 🍵👩‍🏫🍂

If you wanted, we also have some of our Elderberry Elixir and our Viral Defender (which contains a blend of immune supporting herbs and essential oils, like rose hips and sage), available on the shelf for anyone wanting tinctures to have on hand for yourself or the family! 😄
(We also have a Sagely Delight tea, but it is currently out of stock due to high demand. We'll hopefully have more on the shelf in the next week or two!)

𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙁𝙪𝙣 𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙨!

Did you know this about Elderberry?
Since ancient Egypt, there is evidence of the use of black elder for the treatment of many diseases in various medicinal formulas, as well as used in food. Even famous physicians Hippocrates and Pedanius Dioscoridis (the father of pharmacognosy) used medicines prepared from elder flower and berries.

Did you know this about Sage?
While we all know sage to be used by many religions and folklores to ward off evil spirits, sage’s latin name - Salvia - comes from the word “salvere” meaning “to heal”. It also is a part of the mint family, and a teaspoon of dried sage pairs well in flavor with peppermint or spearmint when consumed as a tea.

Did you know this about Rose Hips?
European sailors in the 18th century used to pack their boats for long voyages with dried preparations of rose hips and burdock root to prevent scurvy (a disease caused by vitamin c deficiency). Just 1 gram (roughly 1 teaspoon) of loose rose hips contains about 420 mg of Vitamin C… that’s more than 1 medium sized orange, which only contains about 70mg!!

Just a friendly reminder:

We will be closed on Friday September 4th and gone until Monday September 7th for Labor Day weekend. We will be back in the office on Tuesday September 8th.

Have a great weekend everyone!

To all of our clients and friends,

It has been almost 6 months since Bridget’s passing. We have been trying our best here at Hummingbird Health to put our feet forward and continue to keep the business going for her, providing all the same services and the same care that she gave to so many people for so many years. To those who still came through the doors in the midst of all this heartache of her loss - still willing to see June and buy supplements despite the absence of her presence in the office - we cannot thank you enough! 💜 We’re here to keep this business going in her name; June in particular tries every day to take what she learned from her mother and entrust it to the next person sitting in her office, hoping that her mother’s legacy will continue.

However, we know many people are still feeling her loss and still hesitate to step foot in the doors again, knowing that Bridget will not be there. We understand - we have days where it’s difficult for us to open the doors knowing she’s not here with us as well. But we do every day so that her memory will stay alive. So we keep the lights on, we keep paying the bills, and we keep the doors open. Unfortunately since Bridget’s passing, we have lost a significant portion of clientele coming in, making it increasingly difficult to keep those lights on and those bills paid.

In all honestly, we are starting to realize that if not enough of our clients return, we may have to consider closing the doors for good, and this is devastating us all over again.

I know the biggest reason for many not returning right away is because Bridget was such a treasure and it doesn’t feel the same now that she’s gone. We can’t stress enough how much we understand that. Bridget was one of a kind. Even June understands that she may not be Bridget in personality, but her heart is just as big as her mother’s and is trying very hard to put that heart into every person she sees. Bridget truly wanted to see her family be able to continue her work and keep her legacy alive. But we can’t do that without enough support.

So if anyone has been “thinking about coming in”, please don’t wait too long. Please come in and let us help you in your health journey! If we don’t see the schedule getting fuller by December, we are going to have to make the heartbreaking decision to close the doors on January 1, 2027.

With greatest sincerity,

The Houston Family

... And with the budding trees and blooming flowers also comes the pollen... so Allergy Season is slowly approaching. 🤧
