Registered Acupuncturist · North Dublin
When your body has been under pressure for too long, symptoms can show up in ways that do not add up. Whether it is stress, hormonal changes, poor sleep or persistent fatigue, acupuncture calms the nervous system and gives your body room to recover.
Book an Acupuncture Session Learn moreAbout the treatment
Most people come to me having tried everything else. They have seen their GP, had bloods done, been told everything is fine. Some have tried other treatments and got nowhere.
What acupuncture does that almost nothing else does is calm the nervous system at a very deep level. When your nervous system finally gets to slow down, your body can start doing the work it has been trying to do all along.
The needles are fine and most people barely feel them. The most common thing clients say after their first session is that they slept better that night than they had in months.
Your first session
Your first appointment is longer than a follow-up because we spend proper time at the start going through your health history, your symptoms, your sleep, your stress and your cycle if relevant. I want to understand the full picture before I do anything.
The treatment itself is deeply relaxing for most people. You will lie comfortably while the needles do their work, usually for about 20 to 30 minutes. Most clients leave feeling noticeably calmer than when they arrived.
For most conditions a course of treatment gives the best results. I will always be honest with you about what I think you need and how long it is likely to take before you start feeling a real difference.
Book your first sessionWhat I treat
When your nervous system is stuck in overdrive everything suffers. Your sleep, your digestion, your hormones, your ability to cope. Acupuncture directly calms the stress response and many clients notice a real difference after the very first session.
PMS, irregular cycles, PCOS, hot flushes, sleep disruption, brain fog. Acupuncture supports the hormonal system by regulating the nervous system and reducing the inflammation that drives so many of these symptoms. There is good evidence for acupuncture through perimenopause specifically, and I see the results every week in clinic.

Acupuncture reduces inflammation, improves circulation and stimulates the body's own pain-relieving mechanisms. It is one of the most researched therapies for pain relief, whether the pain is longstanding or from a recent injury.
Exhaustion that sleep does not fix, or sleep that will not come in the first place. Whether you cannot fall asleep, cannot stay asleep, or wake at 3am with your mind racing, acupuncture helps regulate the adrenal response and addresses the underlying reasons rather than just the symptom.
IBS, bloating, irregular bowels. The gut and nervous system are deeply connected and acupuncture supports both.

“A lot of my clients do both and there is a very good reason for that. When acupuncture and nutrition are working together the results are in a different league.”— Jennifer Creedon
A more complete approach
Acupuncture calms the nervous system and reduces inflammation. Nutritional therapy addresses what you are eating and why it might be making things worse. When both are working together the results are in a different league.

During the interview, Jennifer suggested she would also treat my painful elbow and work on my bladder. I have already had five sessions and I can easily say that the problems I was struggling with have disappeared, and the quality of my life, sleep, and functioning have improved. I highly recommend Jennifer.— Bartosz
Common Questions
Most people barely feel the needles. They are hair-thin, nothing like an injection, and most clients find the session itself deeply relaxing rather than uncomfortable.
This depends on what you are being treated for and how long you have been dealing with it. Some people notice a difference after the first session, most conditions respond best to a course of treatment. I will be upfront with you about what I think you need after your first visit.
No referral is needed, you can book directly. Acupuncture works well alongside conventional medical care and I will always recommend you continue working with your GP where appropriate.
