Verena Johanna Smith

I have been going to Verena for a variety of issues over the past few years. Every time I go, I leave feeling better, happier and more balanced. Her approach is kind, gentle, knowledgable and confident. Where other health practitioners have pretty much given up on me and throw medicine at my symptoms, Verena has worked (with me) to discover causes rather than simply treat symptoms. She listens, asks questions and I feel truly heard. Her knowledge is vast and her demeanor is calm and soothing. I instantly feel better simply being around her and yet, I am confident in her ability to care, to listen and to heal. I highly, highly recommend her!

Verena is a top notch healer. I’ve seen her over the years for many things, but perhaps most impressively was when she succeeded in making me pain free after 5 years of failed attempts working with Western doctors.
The thing I tell people when I recommend acupuncture and Oriental medicine, is that it works by STRENGTHENING your body and your natural healing systems. So even if something isn’t cured, you’re likely to feel better and be in better general health, as well as a better position to take allopathic medicine if you still need to. For instance, when I needed to take an allopathic medicine that was very hard on my liver, after some months I had «the shakes,» (I couldn’t keep my hand steady, and even my jaw was jittery). I had no idea that it was from the medicine. Verena saw this symptom, commented that it was a sign of a weakened liver, and successfully treated it – by strengthening my liver! I don’t think she even knew I was on that medication, she just treated the weakened part of my system, and it worked.
Don’t just treat the symptom with Western medicine – heal the core weakness causing the symptoms. This is what Accupuncture and Oriental Medicine can do, and Verena is top notch at it!

Verena is a gifted, empathetic practitioner.
I’ve seen her for acupuncture, NAET, Matrix Energetics, and NMT; she also practices Chinese Herbal Medicine and integrative nutrition. She has a wide range of training and experience and will use whatever is best suited for your issues.
Among other things, when my back seized up, she used acupuncture to make the muscles release and feel three days better in an hour. Highly recommended.
