Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner
Justine Smyth
Meet Justine! A dedicated Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner committed to helping her patients achieve balance and wellness in all aspects of life. With an Advanced Diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, she blends ancient healing practices with a modern holistic, patient-centered approach.
She believes that true health is a dynamic balance between the body, mind, and spirit and views health as a journey that requires a comprehensive approach—one that goes beyond just treating symptoms. Through acupuncture, customized herbal formulas, cupping, moxibustion, and guidance on diet, nutrition, and lifestyle, her goal is to empower patients to take an active role in their healing process.
With a background in Western medicine, her transition to Traditional Chinese Medicine was born out of a desire to offer a more holistic approach to care. Her practice focuses on pain management (both chronic and acute), autoimmune disorders, mental health, dermatology, gynecology, digestion, and trauma-informed care. Each treatment is tailored to the individual, taking into account their unique lifestyle, emotional health, and overall well-being.
Outside of the clinic, she is passionate about the community, offering her time to local community clinics to ensure holistic care is accessible to all. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors, gardening, cooking with her daughter, and local plant identification.
Her approach is rooted in the belief that optimal health is achieved when all parts of the self are nurtured and in harmony. Whether through acupuncture, herbal medicine, or lifestyle adjustments, the focus is always on guiding each patient on their unique path to well-being. She practices from a holistic, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed lens, in a 2SLGBTQIA+ positive space.
