AcuWell came about from the personal experience with ill health of its founder, Maria Maher.
Maria first became interested in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine when she underwent treatment for cancer following surgery to remove a brain tumour.
Acupuncture helped her overcome the negative side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and now continues to help her maintain good health.
At the time of her illness Maria already had a successful career in international business. However, it was this life-changing experience that gave her the desire to change career completely and help improve the health and quality of life of others.
Maria had experienced many therapies which complemented conventional medicine. However, of these, it was acupuncture, and it forming part of an ancient, proven holistic healthcare system, known as Traditional Chinese Medicine, that particularly impressed her.
Maria studied at the Acupuncture Foundation of Ireland under Dr. Jin Huide and Dr. Wu Jidong, both of whom are Professors of the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China. After graduating, she gained clinical experience under Professor Qiu Xian Ling in the 1st Affiliated Hospital in Nanjing, China. She subsequently obtained a Diploma in Tuina (Chinese Deep Tissue Massage) under Dr. Fanyi Meng of Lincoln University, England.
Maria continually updates her skills by regularly undergoing further professional courses. She has a special interest in fertility and is a founder-member of the Zita West affiliated acupuncturist network for reproductive health in Ireland.
She also gives talks and workshops and has appeared on TV3's The Morning Show, MidWeek and MidDay programmes.
To this day, Maria is passionate about acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and is using this medicine to help improve the health and the quality of life of others.
Maria is registered with the Acupuncture Foundation Professional Association. Acupuncture treatments are, therefore, approved by VHI, Aviva, Quinn-Healthcare and other health insurance schemes.
