Dr. Meggie Smith first learned the power of chiropractic energy medicine when she was struggling with her mental and physical health while she in her early 20s. Neither medical doctors nor psychotherapists could help her. She found relief only with an energy medicine chiropractor who understood how her emotional distress was an expression of physical imbalances. She has continued to use chiropractic energy medicine to feel more grounded, hopeful, trusting and at peace.

She is Webster certified in perinatal chiropractic and has studied energetic chiropractic techniques including Bio Geometric Integration (BGI), Network Spinal Analysis (NSA), NeuroEmotional Technique (NET) and Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (BEST). She has a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from The University of Chicago. That degree has allowed her to think critically about finding the truth in healing modalities and parsing the nuance of medical research. She has a Doctor of Chiropractic from Life Chiropractic College West in the San Francisco Bay Area, a school renowned for its strong BGI focus on and off campus.

She is the President of the Main Dempster Mile, the former Philanthropy chair of the Woman’s Club of Evanston and was appointed by the Mayor of Evanston to the Citizen Police Complaint Advisory Committee.  She lives in Evanston with her partner Neil and spends her free time attempting to make entertaining videos for her niece and nephews. They still prefer the videos of her cats.  continue reading »

Using Acupuncture as an Alternative Approach to Managing Menopause Symptoms

Using Acupuncture as an Alternative Approach to Managing Menopause Symptoms

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, marking the end of her reproductive years. While this transition is entirely normal, it often comes with a range of challenging symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. For many women, these symptoms can significantly impact the quality of life. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has long been the standard treatment for managing menopausal symptoms, but it is not without risks and side effects. As a result, many women are turning to alternative therapies, including acupuncture, to alleviate their symptoms. continue reading »
