She completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Yale New Haven Hospital; a fellowship in Palliative Care at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center; and a certificate in palliative care studies from Harvard University. At present, she is the Medical Director of BAYADA Home Hospice in Norwich, VT; an internal medicine hospitalist in several New England hospitals; and professor of Palliative Care at Dartmouth University’s Geisel School of Medicine in Hanover, NH.

Her goal is to help clients find joy even in the midst of pain and to live their most meaningful lives at any stage of life. Her extensive post graduate training includes medical ethics and ketamine-assisted treatment. Her experience as a personal coach and death doula allows her to safely hold space for clients to explore emotional and spiritual concerns. Dr. Lovins draws nourishment from connection to nature, humans, and animals, and resides in southern Vermont.
