Jason Smith

Jason Smith is a Spanish American physiotherapist (San Rafael Ciencias de la Salud, Madrid) and an esteemed Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teacher and practitioner based in Madrid. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Saint Louis University, Missouri. His journey into TCM began in 2002, culminating in 2007 following an advanced study trip to China.

International Recognition and Media

In 2008, he specialized in Facial Rejuvenation techniques. His expertise in this field—then a novelty in Spain—led to features on national television programs such as España Directo and Madrid Directo. Since then, he has taught specialized courses across international hubs including Barcelona, Lisbon, Palma de Mallorca, and Gran Canaria. By 2009, he established himself as a prominent TCM educator and is currently recognized as a leading figure in the field within Spain.

The Maciocia Legacy

A defining moment in Jason’s career occurred in 2010 when he began a close professional collaboration with Giovanni Maciocia, one of the most influential figures in modern TCM history. This partnership led to him becoming Maciocia’s official representative and close collaborator in Spain.

His clinical authority is further underscored by his literary contributions:

In 2012, Giovanni Maciocia personally wrote the foreword to Jason’s book, Acupuncture Points: Practical Location and the Meaning of Their Chinese Names.
In 2015, he was entrusted with the complete translation of the second Spanish edition of Maciocia’s seminal textbook, The Foundations of Chinese Medicine.
Maciocia described Jason as an “excellent professional with a profound knowledge of TCM”.

Modern Mastery and Innovation

In 2014, Jason integrated Dr. Richard Tan’s Balance Method into his practice. This exploration led him to work with Robert Doane and specialize in Jimmy Chang’s Pulsynergy system, mastering the critical “missing piece” of pulse diagnosis.

Alongside Maciocia, he co-founded the Giovanni Maciocia International School of TCM in 2015, which saw over 200 students enroll in just two years before Maciocia’s passing in 2018. Today, he directs Jason Smith MTC in Madrid. His teaching style integrates:

Distal and Scalp Acupuncture
The Balance Method
Advanced Pulse Diagnosis
Herbal Medicine

The result of his diverse training is a living, scientifically-influenced form of TCM that is modern, serious, and clinically effective. In 2025, his expertise in pulse diagnosis and scalp acupuncture has taken him to teach throughout Europe, including the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Italy.
