Dr Des Maher
(Chinese medicine)
balance in everyday life
As a private practitioner of Acupuncture and a Dr of Chinese Medicine, my main focus is on an individual’s journey to a healthy balance in life.
I believe that a conscious holistic approach to health and lifestyle is essential to live your best life in each and every moment.

my story
I developed an interest in Chinese Medicine when I became pregnant with my second son. Having experienced hyperemesis gravidarum (morning sickness) with my first pregnancy, I was looking for an alternative when I experienced it again with my second pregnancy.
My GP stepped in and suggested I try acupuncture. This abated my symptoms enough for me to give birth to a healthy baby and spark a life-long regard for acupuncture and passion for mind / body health!
a unique experience
Previously I had a private practice where I worked with individuals in counselling, coaching and hypnotherapy sessions.
This has provided a strong understanding of the psychological and emotional aspects of lifestyle choices and how they affect and contribute to our overall health and well-being.
These invaluable skills are a fundamental foundation for each/every acupuncture appointment that allows for an unconditional positive regard approach.
