Niamh Muldowney, owner and founder, Anam Mai Acupuncture

A bad chest infection that refused to clear, despite seven courses of antibiotics, lead Niamh Muldowney to try acupuncture. Amazed at the results it produced, she was inspired to learn more and signed up with the Acupuncture Foundation Ireland in Milltown Institute to begin what would be her life changing studies. Now a fully qualified & Licenced acupuncturist, at Anam Mai Acupuncture she provides safe and effective treatments which result in restoring health using the holistic wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. With three clinics in the Meath and Dublin areas, Niamh also sits on the on the executive committee of the Acupuncture Foundation Professional Association with the title role of Communication coordinator.

“What I love in my job is the ability to help someone recover or to help change their lives,” she says. Her clinics’ tends to be 90% female with presenting issues ranging from painful periods to trying to conceive, stress and anxiety as well as pain management. And of course being part of the professional association means that Anam Mai Acupuncture clinics are fully recognised by VHI, Aviva, Quinn Health Care and HSF among others. Niamh also practices what she preaches. After that serious chest infection six years ago, she continued with treatments once a month, even after she’d recovered, and still does.
