Anne Hughes M.A (hons.), Dip Ac. (hons.), is a dedicated and caring Oriental Medicine practitioner.

Anne graduated from a 1600-hour acupuncture programme at the SSC Acupuncture Institute, a leading institute of Traditional Oriental Medicine, in Toronto, Canada. (Presently acupuncture training in Ireland ranges from courses of 3 weekends duration, to a maximum of 900 hours).

Her primary training is in both Japanese and Chinese acupuncture, and she is currently one of only a few practitioners in Ireland using the powerful synergistic blend of both modalities.

Anne has studied numerous oriental medicine modalities such as Medical Qi Gong, Auricular Acupuncture (ear acupuncture), Tui Na (Chinese) Massage, and Shiatsu. She has also completed courses in Herbal Medicine, Aromatherapy and Reflexology and travelled to India to study Ayurveda, (the Indian system of traditional medicine).

Anne is committed to lifelong training to further her knowledge as a holistic practitioner and ensure the best possible treatment outcome for her patients.

Anne treats a full range of complaints including the musculoskeletal, (sports injuries, arthritis, back pain, knee pain), emotional/psychological, (stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, insomnia), gastrointestinal (constipation, ulcers, nausea, diarrhoea), neurological (sciatica, headaches, general neuralgias), and addictions (alcohol, smoking, food, drugs, gambling).

Furthermore, she is particularly interested in treating acute and chronic pain, (Japanese acupuncture can often relieve pain instantaneously), psychological/emotional issues (Anne’s B.A (hons.) is in Psychology and Philosophy) and addiction (Anne’s M.A (hons.) is in Addiction Studies).

Treatment is offered to children over the age of 7 and those who are needle phobic utilising acupressure and a variety of non-invasive Oriental medicine techniques.

Anne is a registered member of the TCMCI, and her acupuncture treatments are approved and reimbursable with healthcare insurance providers.
