Catherine is a member of the Professional Register of Traditional Chinese Medicine (PRTCM). She spent three years studying in the Irish College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She is qualified to practice Traditional Chinese Medicine methods such as acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping.
Acupuncture is part of an ancient and sophisticated form of medical treatment which originated in China but has increasingly spread throughout the world. It involves the insertion of extremely fine, pre-sterilised, stainless steel needles at pre-determined points on the body surface to restore internal health. The use of acupuncture is entirely safe in the hands of a trained professional.
Members of the PRTCM are recognised for the provision of acupuncture treatments by VHI Healthcare, Quinn Healthcare, AVIVA and the other main insurance providers in Ireland. For details of cover, please contact the Health Insurance body directly.
Catherine is delighted to be working in Dublin 2 at the Hanover Medical Centre.
