TESTIMONIALS

“I had been suffering from work related stress which developed into an anxiety disorder. I was finding it hard to sleep or eat and when I had meetings at work I felt nausea and was very on edge, my confidence was knocked and I would go home every evening with headaches. These constant feelings of anxiety would prevent me from doing the things I love and work became a chore.
I found the Root and Branch Acupuncture Clinic online and I emailed Mairi. I got an immediate response and booked an appointment that night.
I was very nervous on the day of my appointment, with my anxiety anything new or out of my ‘habit’ was nerve racking, however within 5 minutes of meeting Mairi, I was completely at ease, she talked me through the process and we filled in a profile so she could understand the issues i was trying to address. The clinic was so relaxing and Mairi is extremely attentive to her clients. The treatment was pain free and the effects of the treatment were instant. I slept very well that night and my whole system had relaxed. I visited the clinic 5 times and Mairi worked on my headaches and digestive system. I was more at ease with work stress and I started eating properly so I had more energy and no headaches. Mairi also thought me breathing techniques which I use on a daily basis in my work meetings. Mairi is always there if I need a ‘top up’ of relaxation and the treatment and care I recieved was exceptional. I recommend Mairi’s treatment without reservation. She has helped me turn a crippling feeling upside down and I am a much happier, contented person.” Margaret, Co Westmeath.

“I found Mairi to be a very sensitive and intuitive therapist. At the time I attended I was unsure of my diagnosis but the treatments were very good at relieving my symptoms of back pain and stiffness. The sessions I had were very helpful to reduce stress and to help relieve mobility issues I was having, Mairi was willing to explore various angles and was flexible in her approach. Her consulting room is comfortable and private. Overall my treatment was a very positive experience.” Deirdre, Meath

“My baby was also breach towards the end of the pregnancy. Mairi advised of two treatments. Firstly a moxibustion treatment to turn the breech baby, which was carried out over a periods of 10 days. Within days of this treatment my baby had turned. Amazing! Thankfully avoiding the need for the caesarean my consultant was mentioning! The second treatment was ‘pre-birth acupuncture treatment’. Mairi advised that this treatment promotes a healthy and natural birth by preparing the cervix and pelvis for labour. This treatment was simple and relaxing and worked brilliantly. Although overdue by 13 days, I delivered my baby girl (8lbs 5oz) within 10 hours and the whole day turned out to be an enjoyable experience (contrary to what I believed childbirth to be)! I can’t thank Mairi enough for her great work. I continue to attend Mairi for the treatment of migraines something I should have done years ago! I would highly recommend pregnant ladies to get this pre birth treatment, as the stress free delivery helps both mum and baby.” Michelle, Navan

“I first came to Mairi experiencing the end of a miscarriage which had started at 8 weeks. It was my second child and like the first it had been difficult to conceive because I have been diagnosed with PCOS, which means that my cycles are very irregular. The fertility clinic I had been attending advised me to keep trying and to find an acupuncturist to help regulate my cycles. On Mairi’s advice I changed my diet and began to lose weight at a rate of about 2lbs per week. Within 3 months of starting treatment I was pregnant again. At 6 weeks I had some bleeding and was concerned I would have another miscarriage but Mairi changed the treatment to stop the bleeding and the pregnancy continued without problem. I delivered a healthy baby boy at term and was delighted with my treatment!” Karen, Meath
