Hi,
I’ll try and keep this as simple as I can for the complex times we’re in.
Well Being Dublin is compliant with Irish Health Department, HSE and holistic association additional practice guidance and directives.
As such, the Clontarf clinic remains open for face to face treatments for acupuncture and clients are permitted to travel for necessary health care..
Former herbal medicine clients may order herbal medicine if they’ve had their initial herbal medicine consultation with me prior to lockdowns and can collect their herbal medicine from the Clontarf clinic.
Those who are attending the clinic for acupuncture and who are also availing of herbal medicine are welcome to collect at the end of their session or from the clinic at an arranged time.
My naturopathy face to face practice is suspended for now, in line with regulations and for now I won’t be offering a digital online practice.
I kindly ask you not to attend clinic if you are unwell, have a fever or respiratory symptoms or have been in contact with any COVID-19 infected persons or are in return from travel quarantine.
If you’re unsure, please ring the clinic for advice before attending and I’ve added the pre-screening survey below for review if needed while booking too along with the finer details of clinic practice for those who would like to see how our practice is running during these times.
I’ll continue to provide health care as long as I remain healthy, have no COVID-19 contact, am not in travel related quarantine and have no Covid symptoms to support clients as a permitted service.
I’m here for you. Strength and wellness to you. We will prevail 🙂

FOR YOUR ADDED INFORMATION
- Clients will be taken directly to the treatment room at their appointment time, (as for now the waiting area use is suspended).
- 15 minutes gap in between patients is observed so you don’t meet anybody and to allow me to ventilate the room and sanitise all surfaces.
- Masks are required as per government guidelines and the clinic is also a non-discriminatory practice.
- This means the clinic services are also available and respectful of our clients who cannot wear masks, as per Government regulations, discrimination laws and the following H.S.E. guidelines : “Those who have trouble breathing, are unable to remove it without help, have special needs, who may feel upset or very uncomfortable wearing them, needs to communicate with someone who has learning difficulties, is hard of hearing or deaf”.
- Be reassured that one plinth cover, pillowcase and cover are per patient and are washed at 60 degrees.
- I’ll be maintaining physical distancing (2 m) whenever possible – naturally coming closer when it is essential for the hands-on assessment or treatment required for your service as per usual. That includes for example, hands on assessment and treatment, acupuncture, acupressure, gua sha, cupping and moxa use.
