Shannon Smith

I support people who are navigating hormonal shifts, mental health challenges, trauma, grief, insomnia, stress, burnout, digestive issues, and anyone who’s ever been told “it’s just in your head”. I see you! 

I work with folks through life transitions, caregivers, support workers, neurodivergent individuals, and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Whether you’re dealing with hormonal imbalance, chronic fatigue, anxiety, or gut-brain wellness, I’m here to help you reconnect with your body and your healing story! 

I’ll meet you where you’re at on any given day, whether you’re feeling great or barely holding it together! Your acupuncture sessions are a space to breathe, reset, and reconnect. They aren’t limited to one concern; we look at the whole picture of your health, because everything is connected (the song said so, too!).

I encourage my clients to bring up any questions or changes you notice, even if they seem small or unrelated. Every piece helps me understand your body’s patterns and provide a treatment that supports your physical, emotional, and energetic wellbeing.

During our treatments, I’ll explain what’s going on/ what to expect every step of the way with your consent and safety in mind. Your personal comfort is a priority; you’re always welcome to make requests to pause, stop, or adjust at any time. This is your time to rest, reset, and restore balance – safely, gently, and without judgment.
