Joanna E Riddell BSc (Hons) Tradture & Human Biosciences. Member of The British Acupuncture Council. Appointments:  0863651112 Castletownbere & Glengarriff Originally from London, but now living in Beara (Bere Island). I have worked in the health care sector for 27yrs, and have a BSc (Hons) Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture -  member of the British Acupuncture Council UK..  Whilst in the UK I was based with health care facilities in Harley Street, Wimpole Street and the London Clinic Hospital.

I treat a wide range of medical conditions including conditions caused by stress factors, emotional upsets and injury.

Upset to your natural balance can lead to physical and emotional symptoms.  By identifying the root cause of the symptoms, I place needles  to activate specific energy points on the body to help bring both the body and mind back to health.

The Benefits
the treatments focus on alleviating the main complaint but because it is an holistic approach not only does the original complaint improve but patients also report sleeping better, stress levels decrease, thus leaving you feeling more energised and having an overall sense of well being. Acupuncture is suitable for both adults, children and babies.

I have also been creating bespoke facials tailored to meet the individual needs of each of my patients.  My treatments are based on ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture, facial diagnosis and massage techniques. My facials deliver anti-ageing benefits that leave your skin glowing with youthful radiance and patients looking instantly rejuvenated.
