🐍🔥 February = The Seasonal Hinge 🔥🐎

February marks the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox and is a true threshold where light is returning, but the body hasn’t fully left winter behind.

In Chinese medicine, this is the hinge when stored reserves begin preparing for movement before movement is demanded. January was about restoring reserves. February is about making sure those reserves can move without being drained.

This year also carries a symbolic transition: the closing phase of the Year of the Snake and the approach of the Year of the Horse. The Snake reflects consolidation and inward recalibration. The Horse brings circulation, activity, and outward motion. Healthy systems don’t flip a switch, but rather they transition.

Clinically, this in-between often shows up as restlessness layered over fatigue, disrupted sleep, irritability, PMS, headaches, jaw or neck tension, or anxiety that lacks direction. The Liver system is beginning to wake, but the Kidneys are still regulating the pace. When that handoff is rough, people feel wired and stuck at the same time.

Support the transition now. March will ask more of you. And yes, we will detox (together 😮‍💨) when the season is actually on board with the idea.

The Horse is coming. We just don’t rush it out of the stable.

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.


New Patient Intake

If you’re new here, welcome! All new patient intakes are done online to keep things simple. After booking, you’ll get an email with your forms and a secure Zoom link.

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

For returning patients, each session is hands-on unless we're doing a quick virtual check-in for herbs. You’ll get an appointment reminder with all the details and we’ll pick up right where we left off getting to work supporting your healing.


Hashimoto Virtual Coaching

This 1:1 virtual coaching session is designed to help you understand your labs, learn how Hashimoto’s works, and feel empowered to advocate for your care.

We’ll explore the finer points of thyroid function, autoimmunity, nutrition, and how to interpret key labs beyond the basics. You’ll leave with greater clarity, confidence, and next steps to bring to your healthcare team.

As a private practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Dr Lovie primarily focuses on auto-immune disorders with a special interest in Hashimoto’s. However, she regularly works with all aspects of women’s health (menstrual disorders, conception difficulty, pregnancy, post-partum maternal care, breast care, menopause), pain management, Lyme’s Disease, cancer care, and “last resort” cases where everything else has been tried.

You can read her personal backstory and what brought her into the medicine here.
