At Kate Duggan Acupuncture and Naturopathy in Greystones, getting to the root cause of the issue is paramount. I begin by having an in depth conversation with the client about whatever they are presenting with and make a diagnosis based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, specific to the individual.

I then create a treatment plan based on the diagnosis generally using a combination of methods such as needling, cupping, moxibustion, heat lamp and electro acupuncture. I also give natural health advice to complement the treatment. The main aim is to bring the person back into balance or in a nutshell, make people feel better.

Making an
Appointment

 

What are the steps involved when booking an appointment?

 
  1. Contact me directly or book an initial consultation and treatment online. I will contact you with a confirmation email and a consent form to complete prior to the initial consultation.

  2. Initial Consultation (sometimes carried out via video call): This gives me an opportunity to understand what has led you to acupuncture and what your goal is. We have an in depth conversation which allows me to see what may have become imbalanced in your body and is causing your symptoms. From this I develop a treatment plan. This takes around 30 minutes.

  3. First Treatment: I use the information from the initial consultation to create your treatment plan. A treatment time is approximately 30 mins on the bed. At the end of the treatment we will discuss any follow up treatments needed

Testimonials

 
 

“I was struggling with my knee due to osteoarthritis. I was in constant pain, not sleeping, nothing was working (heat / cold / rest / painkillers).

I went to Kate and even after the first treatment I felt an immediate improvement. A few more and I am nearly forgetting that I had an issue with the knee. Excellent Treatment - cannot recommend it and Kate highly enough, she is terrific.”

Lianne

“Kate worked with me on anxiety issues for several months. From the first time we met, she made me feel at ease and showed a real interest in my problems. She really wanted to help from the start and it was very obvious that she spent a lot of her own time researching my symptoms in order to find a therapy best suited to me. Every session was a really pleasant and calm experience which I would look forward to every week. Kates location is really clean and a very nice environment to be in. I am now finished working with Kate and am delighted to say that I feel like a new person.”

Stephen

“I have been receiving weekly acupuncture treatments with Kate over the past couple of months and couldn't recommend her highly enough. As well as being professional, Kate is very welcoming, calm and caring. I feel great after each treatment and I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my immune function.”
