What is Acupuncture?
Several thousand years ago, East Asian practitioners discovered that the body forms disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life. Chinese medical theory explains these disharmonies as an imbalance of opposing forces called yin and yang. This imbalance disrupts the movement of the body's vital energy (qi) along the meridian pathways, which are channels through which the body's energy is thought to flow. Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of qi. By inserting and manipulating hair-thin needles at specific points, I am able to return the body to its natural balance and promote the body's ability to heal itself.

Is Acupuncture Safe?
Yes. Acupuncture is used by millions every year. Acupuncturists are required to undergo extensive education, including detailed study of human anatomy and training in Clean Needle Technique.
I have completed comprehensive professional training and am a registered member of the Acupuncture Foundation Professional Association. My qualifications are recognised by Ireland's major health insurance providers, allowing eligible clients to claim back treatment costs through their health insurance plans.
Your safety is my priority. In line with professional and insurance requirements, I use only pre-sterilised, disposable, single-use needles for every treatment.
