I'm delighted to be teaching in Ireland again after 7 years!
I'm excited to announce my new Hybrid Abdominal & Navel Acupuncture Foundation Training, combining the convenience of live online theory with a hands-on practical training day in beautiful Wicklow Town.
Online Theory: Saturday 12th September 2026 (live & recorded)
Practical Day: Sunday 20th September 2026
Over the past 25 years in clinical practice and 15 years teaching internationally, I've continually refined this course to help practitioners achieve better results with fewer needles, improve their diagnostic and palpation skills, and gain the confidence to use Abdominal Acupuncture immediately in practice.
You'll also be introduced to the remarkable Navel Acupuncture system, along with practical techniques from Hypnosis and NLP to help improve practitioner confidence and treatment outcomes.
Only 12 places remain
Early Bird €295 has been extended until 31st July, (then €350).
If you're looking to take your acupuncture skills to the next level, I'd love you to join me this September.

Thunderstorm Warning for Hayfever & Asthma Sufferers

With a significant thunderstorm forecast, it's worth knowing that storms can sometimes make hayfever and asthma symptoms much worse.

During electrical storms, pollen grains can absorb moisture and burst into much smaller particles—sometimes splitting into several tiny fragments. These microscopic particles can travel deeper into the lungs, potentially increasing both the prevalence and severity of hayfever and asthma symptoms.

A few tips to protect yourself.
Stay indoors during and immediately after thunderstorms if possible.
Keep windows and doors closed.
Avoid outdoor exercise during stormy weather.
Continue taking any prescribed medications as directed.
Practise gentle nasal breathing to help filter and humidify the air you breathe.

If hayfever or asthma affects your quality of life, there are natural approaches that will help. Through Buteyko Breathing, Hypnotherapy, NLP, and Acupuncture, I work with people to reduce / end symptoms and improve their overall wellbeing.

Stay safe and take care during the storm.

Stop struggling with hayfever or asthma and discover natural relief with Buteyko breathing, hypnotherapy & acupuncture in Wicklow or online sessions.

Here is a testimonial from Ellie who got rid of her phobia of Rats and Mice and ended her sleep paralysis with one session of hypnotherapy from me.

In Irish we say:
“Tá brón orm.”
(Sadness is upon me.)
Not… “I AM sad.”
That subtle difference can completely change how we relate to emotions like anxiety, stress, and depression.
You are not anxiety.
You are experiencing anxiety.
When we stop identifying with fear, anxiety and emotional pain, healing becomes possible.
In my latest article, I explain how Hypnotherapy, NLP, Buteyko Breathing, and Acupuncture can help people break free from negative emotional states and regain control of their lives.
If you’re struggling and would like help, feel free to contact me. I can help you to change your mind.

At Dantien Acupuncture and Hypnotherapy in Wicklow I can help you be free of anxiety and other painful emotional states. Online sessions available too.

This is an example of Abdominal Acupuncture which is a gentle and yet powerful form of acupuncture which I teach throughout the world. It's a great example of a full treatment from start to finish Her pain goes down by 80% within a few seconds of the needle being inserted. She is a professional ballerina and went on to perform that night without any pain.

This is a quick and very effective Abdominal Acupuncture treatment for a young professional ballet dancer. She was able to dance in a full stage ballet show ...

Here is another treatment I did back on the "funny farm" of MLHR. Sarah didn't want to "poke the bear" and potentially aggravate her shoulder and neck tension. See how comprehensive this treatment is which also addresses her digestive issues and headaches, all while the 12 puppies are having fun in the background!
