❄️ 🍵 January = Restoring Reserves 🍵❄️

In Chinese medicine, winter is Kidney season which is a time associated with deep reserves, repair, and long-term vitality. This doesn’t mean the kidneys in the narrow biomedical sense alone, but the body’s core systems of energy, resilience, hormones, bones, and nervous system regulation.

January is when those systems want less stimulation and more support. After months of outward effort, the body naturally turns inward to conserve, restore, and stabilize. Ignoring that signal often shows up as fatigue, poor sleep, heightened anxiety, cold sensitivity, or inflammation that won’t quite settle.

Winter seasonal treatments focus on nervous system regulation, circulation, sleep quality, hormonal balance, and warming where the system feels depleted or overstretched. Many patients notice they feel steadier rather than “amped,” rested rather than sedated.

This is a season for maintenance, not pushing. What you support now becomes the foundation the body draws from later in the year.

And, for the love of everything holy, please save that detox for spring. Let’s do that together in March (season of the Liver)

A note about pricing: The in-office rate is now $180. For those paying in cash, the rate is $160.

Don’t see a time that works? Add yourself to the waitlist (Monday thru Thursday) and I’ll make sure you’re the first to know if something opens up or if I can expand my schedule. If you’ve got some flexibility, I can usually find a way to make it work on short notice.
