| "I went to Maria while I was preparing for IUI because a good friend of mine who had been going to Maria during an IVF cycle spoke very highly of her. I had already had two miscarriages before I first saw Maria. I felt I was in very safe hands because Maria has done a lot of training and has a lot of experience in the area. I found her very helpful and reassuring. To my delight I became pregnant! I continued to attend Maria every two weeks until I was 12 weeks pregnant and I now look forward to attending her as my pregnancy progresses. I would recommend her to anyone.”Emer |

| "Not only is Maria an expert in her field, but she is also friendly and empathetic. She is keen to put you at ease immediately and ensures you get the best care. I found the environment to be a very restful one where I could relax while Maria practised what I found to be very effective acupuncture treatments. I always left AcuWell feeling relaxed, more positive and could look forward to a very restful night’s sleep! I would highly recommend Maria to anyone considering acupuncture." Courtenay |

"I went to Maria for acupuncture as a complementary therapy for IVF as I'd heard that acupuncture works well with the IVF process. I found Maria simply through the Internet as she was registered as being a Zita West affiliated acupuncturist and I was a bit unsure as I hadn't had a personal recommendation. However, from the first treatment I found Maria to be extremely professional, polite and kind. Her rooms are spotlessly clean and relaxing. I found the treatments a bit strange at first but then got more used to them and found them very relaxing - often falling asleep, like I know others have done previously.
I also got a treatment on the day of my embryo transfer, pre- and post-transfer itself. As it happened, it fell on a Sunday and Maria very graciously obliged me without a fuss, treating me out of hours and having to hang around and wait while I attended my fertility clinic. I was very grateful for that given that I had only been a patient for a short while.
Throughout my IVF process my results were better than expected and, whether that was luck or the acupuncture treatments or a combination of both, I'll never know, but I am now pregnant! I'm glad I went to Maria and would continue to use her if I had problems in any other area again.”Marjorie |

| "I had been suffering from tennis elbow for about a month when someone recommended I ask Maria to treat it with acupuncture. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the physiotherapy was not giving me much relief. I was very pleasantly surprised when, after one acupuncture treatment I felt great relief and, after another six over a period of two months, I was able to play badminton again. Maria used electro-acupuncture on me and moxa, as well as massaging it. I would have no hesitation in recommending her." Kevin |

| "I was having chemotherapy, following surgery for breast cancer, when I first went to Maria for acupuncture. I had some nausea, hot flushes, I was low in energy and my head felt "foggy". Apart from the acupuncture really helping to relieve these symptoms, I felt very reassured by Maria because she understood, from her own experience with cancer, how I was feeling. I found her gentle yet strong. She was able to give me advice on ways to cope and on resources available that could be of help if I wanted. I have continued to go to Maria to maintain my health. I would highly recommend her to others." Alison |

| "Finding Maria has been a great discovery. My sinus-associated symptoms were getting out of control and were affecting my energy levels overall. Maria worked on a programme, just for me and in no time at all I was feeling a new person. I see Maria for general "maintenance" every couple of months for my overall health. It has been great. I would highly recommend her for the results on the treatment I have received, her professional approach and genuine interest in her patients’ wellbeing and health." Dolores |

| "I had been suffering from the occasional migraine for 12 years, but the frequency had increased when I first went to Maria. I had already seen my GP and I saw a neurologist at a later date. The symptoms were sudden blurred vision, numbness of my arm and impaired speech. I had four acupuncture treatments with Maria over a six week period and, almost one year later, they have not reoccurred. I found the treatments very relaxing and felt my overall well being was improving. I would have no hesitation in recommending Maria." Cora |

| "I was trying to conceive for a little over three years and, like anyone who desperately wants to become a mother, I used Google to search for alternative therapies which would be useful. I came across the Zita West Fertility Clinic. It was on that website that I found Maria's details. I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I found acupuncture to be of great assistance in helping me to relax and found Maria very reassuring and useful with information she had given to me. Following 6 sessions, I discovered I was pregnant. I am now 8 months pregnant and looking forward to becoming a Mum." Arlene |

| "Myself and my husband attended Maria for acupuncture because we had no option but to go down the IVF route, unfortunately, and knew that acupuncture would increase our chances of success. It was our first time so we wanted to do everything right. We both enjoyed the treatments with Maria and I found it really helped me to relax. She knows so much about the process and how it can be very stressful for both partners. It worked! We are now expecting our first baby!" Patricia |

| “I had been having trouble with my back for years, especially my the lower back region where I had actually shattered two discs in a sporting accident almost twenty years ago. As a result, every now and again, while playing tennis or working out in the gym, I would strain the muscles in that area and it would end up feeling very stiff and sore. Two years ago I decided to go to Maria for some treatment and it turned out to be the best decision I have ever made regarding my health and fitness! Maria used a combination of acupuncture, moxa and deep muscle massage (Tui Na) on my back, focusing on the injured lower back region in particular to great effect! I can honestly say that the problem has been resolved! I have not had any pain in my back since the treatment, no matter how much tennis or how much time I spend in the gym every week. I can highly recommend Maria to anybody with similar problems. You will be astounded by the results, as I was I’m sure!” Mark |

| "I’ve been attending Maria for two years for a severe case of endometriosis and weakened immunity, including recurring sinusitis. During this time I’ve made significant progress with my condition and have not taken an antibiotic in almost 12 months. I find Maria to be an excellent acupuncturist who shows her patients empathy for their condition and uses her knowledge on how best to treat them. I would have no hesitation in recommending Maria to friends and family." Norma |

| "I had acupuncture with Maria because I was trying for a baby and I have endometriosis. I had been pregnant before but miscarried. I had booked to attend a fertility clinic. I found Maria very reassuring and she gave me lots of valuable information. While attending her and before starting any medication from the fertility clinic, I discovered I was pregnant! I am now 7 months into my pregnancy!" Aisling |

| "I started doing acupuncture as part of the IVF process. I had previously had treatments with a different acupuncturist but I didn't find those treatments relaxing and so I wanted to try someone new. I find my treatments with Maria really relaxing; in fact I regularly fall asleep. Maria has detailed knowledge of fertility and the IVF process which is great and makes you feel that you are in safe and confident hands. Also, the location so close to the city centre which means that I can have treatments during my lunch break and this is really convenient for me. I have already recommended Maria to friends and will continue to do so." Mary |

| "I went to Maria to receive acupuncture for treatment of migraines which I was having frequently at the time. My symptoms were tingling in one of my arms, nausea, facial pain and sudden changes in mood. Maria is very professional and makes you feel at ease. She takes time to learn about you, your lifestyle and your condition and then plans treatments accordingly. I found the treatments really helped reduce the frequency of my migraines and always felt more energetic after my appointment. I would recommend Maria to friends/family." Anita |

| "My menstrual cycle had always been rather long and occasionally quite unpredictable, possibly due to me having PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Although the contraceptive Pill made my periods regular, it also had unfavourable side affects so I wanted to try a more natural and gentle alternative and decided to try acupuncture. Several acupuncture sessions with Maria made a huge difference and after just 2 months of treatment my cycle became more regular and has remained so for over a year now. Maria is very knowledgeable, professional and helpful and I often received not only effective treatment but also good advice on fertility and general well-being. I would recommend Maria to everyone."

| "I have had lower back problems for 25 years. My excellent physio suggested acupuncture to help with management of pain. After a course of treatments with Maria I was able to reduce my medication and had significantly improved movement. The cupping and massage after treatment is very soothing and relaxing. Acupuncture is a very ancient tried and tested branch of medicine, and unlike conventional medicine it does not have unpleasant side effects. Maria is simply gifted." Kate |

| "I attended Maria while I was pregnant. Initially, I had very bad nausea and found it difficult to eat anything. Acupuncture really helped. Not only did it relieve my nausea, but I got my appetite back. I continued to be treated by Maria on a monthly basis to ensure I had a healthy pregnancy. I would highly recommend attending Maria if you are pregnant." Mary |

| "Having previously had a treatment with a different acupuncturist, I was sceptical because I hadn't felt anything during that treatment. However, I found that I actually felt something during the treatment with Maria and more importantly, we got the end result we desired." Ian |

| "Maria at Acuwell is a great accupuncturist, very thorough, conscientuous and focused on getting you better." Vera |

| "I had a tennis-induced shoulder injury when I went to Maria. My right shoulder felt very tight and I had difficulty moving it. Maria treated me with acupuncture, followed by cupping and Tui Na. The treatment was very relaxing and, more importantly, I have had no trouble with my shoulder since!" Marco |

| “Maria Maher is an exceptionally professional lady and I received regular treatments from her to improve my general well being while at my busy job. I was also planning a family at that time. I subsequently had treatments from Maria throughout my pregnancy. Maria has the ability to customise the treatments provided which is fantastic and effective. She takes the time to really listen and understand what you are trying to achieve in terms of health and well being. I would highly recommend Maria for treatments whether you are trying to address an issue or are just being proactive about your overall well being." Rosemary |

| “I was attending Maria for fertility acupuncture. She advised me that, in addition to making some changes to my diet, I should also take Chinese Herbs to help clear up what she termed "Damp" in my body, which was aggravating my sinuses and, ultimately, was not good for trying to conceive. She recommended a colleague of hers who is a registered Chinese Herbalist. I made an appointment with that person and, after a few months of taking the prescribed herbs, my sinuses and other symptoms of "Damp" have improved no-end. I am still having acupunture with Maria and am taking the herbs from her colleague and am much more optimistic about getting pregnant now." Majella |
