Hi I'm Jess Smith,
​
I'm operating a Chinese Medicine + Acupuncture Student Clinic under the clinic Sumner Acupuncture, held at Earth Wellness under Kate's Supervision.
​
I'm currently working towards a Bachelor of Health Science in Chinese Medicine at the New Zealand School of Acupuncture in Auckland, which requires me to complete 200hrs before graduation.
With over 20 years of experience in studying and teaching yoga, I've had the privilege of helping to open two yoga studios in Christchurch over the years. I also mentor yoga teachers across New Zealand and internationally.
At student clinic with Earth Wellness , I offer treatments such as Acupuncture, Tui Na, Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxa, and Chinese dietary therapy.
My approach combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern therapeutic techniques, aiming to promote balance and well-being for each client.
My passion for holistic health and healing arts drives me to continually explore and integrate these practices into my work.
I am very excited to see how we can cultivate health together.
Book in to see me from $30 for 1hour session, a 6 week sign-up allows both parties to greatly benefit from some continuation of treatment.

CHINESE
MEDICINE
The beauty of Chinese Medicine is that it does not just address signs and symptoms, but instead activates the body’s natural healing potential to treat the root of the problem.
​
It does speak another language but don't let that put you of, it's a complete medicine refined over thousands of years, one that understands the deep workings of the system's parts and it's functioning as a whole.
We look at each person individually, figure out how their specific pattern(s) developed, and create a unique treatment plan which involves Acupuncture and a range of other tools.
TOOLS
I'LL USE
Acupuncture - To stimulate the energy held in the meridians of your body, or activate command points to tell the body to increase or decrease a certain action
​
Moxa - A Moss stick that is burnt to warm acupuncture points, it puts heat into the meridian
​
Tui Na - Chinese medical massage, using touch to shift QI, fluid and muscular system
​
Gua Sha - A tool i rub quickly on the skin to bring blood supply into the area for healing, and shifts stagnation
​
Suction cupping - Multiple cups that suck onto the skin to draw old stagnant blood out of the muscles to the surface for healing
​
" The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"
- Lao Tzu
Acupuncture stimulates the body's innate healing system by stimulating the area's that require balancing, such as;
- warming the cold,
- moistening the dry,
- free-coursing the restricted,
- and nourishing the depleted
