Facial Acupuncture

Supporting women through different stages of life

Hi, I’m Jess Smith, Registered Acupuncturist and Yoga Teacher.

My background in yoga, somatic movement, and a long interest in natural health has given me a deep appreciation for the connection between body, mind, and lifestyle — and it's this foundation that shapes the calm, attentive, and patient-centred care I bring to the clinic today.

Jess is available Tuesdays

at Back Door Spa 9am–4pm

The Way I Work

I offer Acupuncture alongside cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, diet and lifestyle guidance. Sessions are guided by TCM principles and tailored to each individual presentation.

I have a particular interest in supporting women through different stages of life, including menstrual health, fertility, postpartum care, stress, burnout, perimenopause, menopause, and ageing gracefully

Approach:

Traditional Chinese Medicine views health through patterns within the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.

My approach is steady and considered. Rather than focusing on quick solutions, sessions are guided by an understanding of underlying patterns and the body’s natural pace.

Acupuncture is often approached as a course of care over time. Individual experiences vary, and some people choose to attend a series of treatments as part of their wellbeing support.
