I am a qualified and experienced general practitioner of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture. I have worked in clinics in the UK and Ireland before opening my own clinic ‘Acupuncture Cavan’ in Cavan town.
​
I studied for my BSc in Acupuncture in the UK at the highly reputable Northern College of Acupuncture (NCA) in the city of York and had previously completed a Diploma at the Lansdowne College of Acupuncture and Complementary Medicine in Dublin. Since completing my acupuncture degree, I have continued studying in areas I find interesting, such as Fertility, Female health, Oncology Acupuncture and Anxiety.
​
I have a special interest in Female Health and am continually furthering my education in this field and gained a Post-Grad Dip in Gynecology, Fertility and Obstetrics from the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine (CICM) in 2022.
​
The effective use of acupuncture to help with the side-effects of cancer treatments is well known in Western Oncology and in 2020 I completed one of the world’s most comprehensive Oncology Acupuncture programs and was awarded an Oncology Acupuncture International Certificate. Undergoing the extra training in both Western and Chinese Medicine specifically for treating patients undergoing cancer treatment is a must for any practitioner wanting to become part of the oncology treatment support system.
​
I am a strong believer in evidence-based practice and keep updated on the latest acupuncture research projects and I regularly attend postgraduate lectures to further my development. I support the integration of Eastern and Western medicine in treating illness. I believe that by integration the patient has a more comprehensive healthcare and gives the best possible outcomes.
​
Member of the Acupuncture Foundation Professional Association (AFPA) Past member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and previously an Anxiety UK Approved Practitioner.
I have a warm and friendly personality, and provide a safe, professional and caring environment.
