It is so important to mind your mental health during all times in your life and also though the challenging times that exist if you happen to be struggling with infertility.

There are lots of support networks available through acupuncture, exercise, relaxation techniques, psychotherapy, volunteering, meditation, buying or owning a pet, improving your diet, spending time with good compassionate and caring friends, watching a movie that makes you laugh and getting a the right amount of sleep all help with mental health and stress. Also know that you are not alone that there are lots of people out there that are struggling and perhaps meeting or talking with like minded people will help too.

I’d like to thank Niamh for all her treatment and care during my last pregnancy. I came to Niamh requesting help to keep my blood pressure down because on my previous pregnancies I was on medication for BP which I wanted to avoid on my third pregnancy. Niamh treated me on a regular basis and I avoided medication and high BP issues. I also had 2 previous inductions and I really wanted to avoid a third induction. Niamh started pre-induction treatment a few weeks before my due date and then worked up to the full induction the week of my due date and I was delighted when I started labour myself 3 days after my due date and baby was born soon after that. Niamh did a great job and gave me the outcome that I wanted. I’d highly recommend Niamh because she is friendly, approachable, very professional and thrives to achieve the best treatment for her clients.

Around March 2022 I started getting chronic migraines/headaches. These were persistent and never went away. It resulted in numerous brain scans, sinus scans with no results. I tried numerous treatments including hyperbaric therapy, medication, Botox all of which done nothing. I eventually ended up having sinus surgery thinking that might be the issue but sadly it wasn’t. After 2 neurologists and a number of other medical professionals I had literally given up hope and was coming to terms that I would be living in this 24 hour pain forever.
Then someone recommended acupuncture which I automatically dismissed as Chinese medicine BS but said what’s the worst that can happen. I started with Niamh and that day my head didn’t get any worse. In fact the next day it started to feel better and I couldn’t believe it. Niamh has got the pain down so low that most days I hardly even notice it. It’s not an understatement to say she has literally changed my life and has given me back the freedom to enjoy it basically pain free.

I visited Anam Mai Acupuncture for treatment for post natal depression, anxiety and stress, and found it to be extremely effective.

Niamh has a natural caring attitude towards her clients, and a real passion for her career. In this way, she earns your trust and you feel able to put yourself completely in her hands.

For those who have never tried acupuncture, Niamh is always ready to explain what she is doing and how this will be effective. She has clearly been trained very well in her chosen profession, and her love for this shows through.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Niamh and acupuncture to my friends and family. I found that she was able to help me enormously, and I am grateful to her for this

I attended Niamh in Anam Mai Acupuncture throughout my third pregnancy and found the sessions really beneficial. I had never overly been a fan of needles before, but I found that I really looked forward to my treatments with Niamh. Her easy manner and quiet confidence allowed me to relax and leave my stress behind. I found the acupuncture treatments wonderful for blocked sinuses and pregnancy swelling in my legs and ankles. I went for weekly treatments and the last treatment I had was two days before I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy at home after a short and wonderful labour. Thank you Niamh for all your help and support throughout my pregnancy and post-natally!
