The Inner Gate Natural Healing Center

Verena Johanna Smith opened this unique center dedicated to holistic healing at her office building at her home in Amherst  in 1987. Since that time, Verena has practiced acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbal medicine, as well as other healing modalities such as Neuromodulation Technique (NMT), Matrix Energetics (ME), Tapas Technique (TAT), hypnosis and guided imagery, Yoga Therapeutics, and guided healing meditation. The center also offers nutrition counselling.

Establishing the center was the original expression for Verena's passion to offer healing and caring to people based on the science of traditional Chinese medicine.

Many training sessions and seminars later Verena has gradually added to her repertoire the other modalities listed above in order to provide a variety of complementary approaches for dealing with health issues.
