About:
Jill Ellen Smith, L.AC, M.AC, Dipl.Ac., NCCAOM, RN, MSN
I have practiced in the Healing Arts for 40 years.
My career began as a Registered Nurse at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland where I specialized in Med/Surgical nursing and later Psychiatric nursing when I received my Masters Degree in Nursing at the University of Maryland. My graduate degree in Nursing was a natural first step into the holistic approach and philosophy of my graduate degree in Chinese Medicine. I blend my vast nursing background into my acupuncture treatments as I treat a wide variety of physical and emotional/spiritual issues.
I have effectively treated anxiety, sleep disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, depression, skin disorders, fibromyalgia, menopausal and menstrual disorders, TMJ, infertility and back/neck/shoulder pain, just to name few.
I hold a Masters degree in Acupuncture and I am Licensed and Nationally Certified with NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine – Public Protection Through Quality Credentials).
The learning process is ongoing as I delve deeper into this 5,000 year old medical art form in my own treatment room. My patients benefit from my years of academic studies, my acupuncture treatment experience, and my life experience as a wife and a mother of two teenagers.
We accept the following insurance:

The Art and Science of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Food Energetics and Herbal Healing
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is like a timeless conversation between humanity and nature, a dialogue that’s been refining itself for over 80 centuries. As an integrative practitioner, I’ve watched patients walk into my clinic skeptical, only to leave with a newfound respect for the power of a well-placed herb or a bowl of congee. TCM’s approach to health—using food and herbs to harmonize the body’s Qi, Yin, and Yang—is both an art and a science, grounded in observation and elevated by intuition.

About:
If you've been wanting to try acupuncture but are squeamish around needles, then Japanese acupuncture is a great way to start. The Japanese variety utilizes finer needles - barely thicker than a human hair. Instead of relying on a chart, more emphasis is placed on touch and palpation to find the correct insertion points. We also do front and back treatments to promote balance of the whole body. I understand the importance of spending extra time with my patients so that we all receive the love and care we deserve.
We are here to aid in your healing process through: Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Moxibustion, Massage therapy, Fire cupping, Nutritional advice, and Reiki.

About:
Acupuncture Health Center in Bellingham, WA provides gentle, personalized acupuncture care for people seeking a natural way to manage stress, anxiety, pain, and everyday wellness challenges. The clinic offers a calm, supportive environment where patients can slow down, feel heard, and receive care tailored to their individual needs.
Located in Bellingham, Acupuncture Health Center works with patients who are dealing with a wide range of concerns, including chronic pain, back and neck discomfort, headaches, muscle tension, joint pain, stress-related symptoms, sleep issues, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Each treatment is designed to support the body’s natural ability to restore balance, reduce tension, and improve overall well-being.
One of the things that makes Acupuncture Health Center different is its patient-centered approach. Rather than offering the same treatment to everyone, the practitioners take time to understand what each person is experiencing, how long the issue has been going on, and how it may be affecting daily life. From there, they create a personalized treatment plan that may include acupuncture, lifestyle guidance, and supportive wellness recommendations.
For patients experiencing stress or anxiety, acupuncture may help calm the nervous system, ease physical tension, and encourage a deeper sense of relaxation. Many people seek care because they feel constantly wound up, mentally drained, or unable to fully relax. Acupuncture Health Center provides a peaceful space where patients can step away from daily demands and receive care focused on restoring a greater sense of calm and emotional balance.
The clinic also works with patients seeking natural support for pain relief. Whether the discomfort is related to posture, repetitive strain, injury, headaches, migraines, or ongoing chronic pain, acupuncture can be used to help reduce pain signals, improve circulation, relax tight muscles, and support better mobility. The goal is not just temporary relief, but helping patients feel more comfortable and functional in their everyday lives.
Patients who are new to acupuncture can expect a welcoming and comfortable experience. Treatments are performed using fine, sterile needles and a gentle technique designed to help patients feel at ease. During the initial visit, the practitioner will review the patient’s concerns, answer questions, and explain the treatment approach so each person feels informed and supported.
Acupuncture Health Center is a good fit for people in Bellingham and the surrounding area who are looking for holistic, individualized care in a relaxing setting. Whether someone is seeking relief from pain, support for stress and anxiety, better sleep, improved energy, or a more balanced approach to wellness, the clinic provides thoughtful care every step of the way.
