What Clients Say

I attended New Leaf Acupuncture Dublin in the summer of 2012 for right shoulder bursitis, a sports injury. I had already been attending a physiotherapist and I am happy to report that the acupuncture helped me greatly.

I found once I started the treatment that I was able to complete my physio objectives more quickly and achieve recovery at a far faster rate than I could otherwise have expected.

I would be happy to recommend New Leaf Acupuncture Dublin, including to those who wish to complement existing medical treatment. I am also very happy to recommend Niall as a skilful, thorough and attentive acupuncturist.

I just wanted to say thanks! I had a baby boy, Jack, and the labour was quick with no need for pain relief. I’ve no doubt the acupuncture helped with that. Many thanks.

I found Niall’s New Leaf Acupuncture Clinic online after a friend recommended acupuncture to help with fertility difficulties. I became pregnant within 6 weeks of starting acupuncture. After a detailed consultation at my first visit, Niall explained clearly what treatments he thought would suit me, and why. From my first appointment I really felt a noticeable change in my overall anxiety, my sleep and my well-being. The clinic itself is warm and restful and lends itself so well to healing, and I was really struck by Niall’s approachable, kind manner. I have happily recommended Niall to friends and family.

Hi Niall, I just wanted to thank you for all your help and to let you know that we have not had to go down the IVF route (thanks to acupuncture) as we are due a baby in January. I believe that we would not be in this position without attending your clinic and we are very thankful. LB.

After getting the all clear on medical tests, I sought Niall’s help as we refocused our efforts for a natural conception. Knowing nothing about acupuncture, I had no idea what to expect. Niall listened with care to our journey in a way which put me at ease and outlined how acupuncture could play a role in achieving pregnancy. The treatments were relaxing and had an immediate effect. We are now preparing to welcome our much longed for baby in May 2013. Niall is a very important part of our support team. I’ve already recommended him to friends.

I don’t understand why more people don’t have acupuncture. It has made me feel a lot better than any medicine over the last 6 months. I appreciate all your help.

We had been trying to conceive for eighteen months for our third child when I went to see Niall. After a month and a half of gentle acupuncture treatment I was pregnant. His acupuncture style was painless and very enjoyable. After every session I felt more relaxed and less stressed. I would definitely recommend Niall and New Leaf Acupuncture Clinic, Dublin.

New Leaf Acupuncture is absolutely fantastic. The change Niall brought about in my health through acupuncture over the last few months has been remarkable. Stress-related insomnia was really dragging me down. But now, as soon as my head touches the pillow, I’m asleep. New Leaf Acupuncture is highly professional and very friendly. Its a pleasure to visit every time.

Hi Niall, I’ve had my first results back from hospital since our sessions and felt the need to share them with you. My bloods and blood pressure are back to normal and my cholesterol is still 4 (a miracle considering what I ate over Christmas) and my weight is down. I have to conclude that all this is down to the acupuncture session I had with you. Thanks you so much in facilitating me receiving such good news, best of luck with your ongoing practice.

Regards,
Patricia, Rathmines

Delighted to say baby Aoife Finn arrived last Thursday at 01.22am. All 8 lbs 5 oz of her! I feel the acupuncture really helped as I progressed very well once active labour began. The treatments were a positive experience from start to finish!

Baby Matthew was born last Saturday – a very healthy 9lb 3oz. Arrived in hospital fully effaced but hadn’t started dilation. The acupuncture did its work. Labour went well and, along with delivery, was without incident. So thank you.

Niall is a very kind and effective acupuncturist. He has been very focused on my well-being, helping me through my cancer treatment, listening and treating my side effects. I highly recommend New Leaf Acupuncture, Dublin.

I had 3 consultations with you 2 weeks ago to help my body getting ready for labour and to avoid the scheduled medical induction. I wanted to let you know that this was a very positive experience for me and my son Cillian was born last Monday without the need of the induction. Thank you again for your support. (Not only did I not require a medically induced labour, but my labour was really manageable, I was more relaxed and my son is a very calm and placid little one.) I will certainly recommend you to any of my friends or family as I am really pleased with the overall experience.
