My Journey
In my 20s I became chronically unwell, partially due to an unhealthy lifestyle. After many tests, modern medicine failed to provide answers or a successful treatment. Running out of options and losing hope, I turned to acupuncture and Chinese medicine, which not only restored my health but also demonstrated the effectiveness of this tradition in treating numerous health conditions, without an over-reliance on medication.
A pivotal moment during my search for answers was a six-month sojourn in Asia at the millennium, where I completed a one month silent meditation retreat in the nun’s compound at a Buddhist Monastery. During this period of deep reflection I gained insights into my life which profoundly changed my worldview and values, this motivated me to choose a path dedicated to benefiting others and living a meaningful life. I also established a habit of a consistent contemplative practice which I have continued to the present day.
These transformative experiences inspired me to study acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2003 and to train as a teacher of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). After qualifying with a Licentiate in acupuncture and TCM in 2006, I travelled to China for post graduate training at the Zhejiang Chinese Medical University to study advanced acupuncture & TCM, including fertility acupuncture, Medical Qigong and Tuina massage, this involved a period of internship at the Red Cross Hospital and the Acupuncture and Tuina Hospital, Hangzhou.
Since establishing my clinic in Athlone 20 years ago I have treated and advised countless individuals in their search for health and well being. The experience of two decades in practice, working closely with individuals to find the root causes of their problems, has deepened my passion for all aspects of health, be it physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. This has inspired me to pursue a BA (Hons) in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy.
What People Say
“I have been attending Jacqueline’s clinic for the past six months. During my career as an Olympic athlete I received two treatments per week for many years from highly renowned International therapists. Jacqueline, is at a minimum, as good as those experts. Her education and knowledge, having undertaken four years of study and years of application, are immense. Jacqueline has an innate ability to diagnose the underlying issues and apply a combination of acupuncture, cupping, deep tissue massage and myofascial release resulting in a fully comprehensive and effective treatment. My advice is to go straight to the expert and the best therapist I have ever encountered.”
Nick o’Hare, Dublin.
“I have attending Jacqueline for acupuncture treatments in the past for migraine and Bells Palsy. In both cases, I experienced a professional, caring & successful treatment. She spoke with me extensively about my treatment and the affect on my migraine was amazing and I now rarely get migraine as a result of her treatment and guidance. I had Bells Palsy for two months and she effectively treated this with electrical acupuncture which showed almost immediate results. I would recommend the Turning Point Acupuncture Clinic to anyone seeking an alternative approach to their health and well being.”
