Verena Smith

Migraine, back pain, shoulder pain, allergies: multitudes of people are afflicted with one or more of these conditions, and these are among the ailments Verena Johanna Smith has treated with acupuncture and Chinese medicine during 25 years of practice in Amherst. Smith offers deep treatment that also reaches into the client's psychiatric history to find the causes of stress: "Where there's the least resistance," she says, "is where we tuck our trauma."
