About Me
Li is originally from China but is now a proud Irish citizen and has lived in Ireland for the past 17 years. She graduated as a general nurse in 1997 and then worked as a Medical, Surgical, and Theatre nurse in a prestigious AAA hospital, which is the highest standard of medical care in China, with an 800-bed capacity and a Traditional Chinese Medicine Ward, 陕西3201医院.
She came to Ireland in 2007 and not long after started working as a Theatre Nurse at the Rotunda Hospital. Over the course of her 10-year career at the Rotunda, she became increasingly convinced of the benefits of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been attending Li for an ongoing rotator cuff problem that I had received cortisone injections for, but without success. I had heard of Li from a number of people and decided to try acupuncture. From my first visit Li listened to my problems, questioning where precisely my pain was and giving me acupuncture, cupping and Moxia treatment with great success. She also gave me great advice on taking better care of myself to help ease my osteoarthritis problems which I have put into effect and has helped so much.

Li takes the time to listen, explain what she’s doing, and check in throughout the session to make sure you’re comfortable. Highly recommend.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend Li. I’ve been experiencing chronic tendinitis and related shoulder injuries from swimming for a number of years and it is the acupuncture and cupping treatments from Li which have finally solved these problems. Li is exceptionally professional and knowledgeable and provides a very holistic approach to assessing and treating me.

Frequently asked Questions
How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture needles differ from these hypodermic syringes in that they are much finer and solid rather than hollow. Acupuncture needles are designed to part the skin without cutting the tissue. The sterile stainless-steel needles which are commonly used have a diameter of between 0.25mm to 0.45mm – about the thickness of a human hair.
It is vital that you tell your practitioner if you suffer from any diseases transmissible by blood (e.g. HIV, AIDS, hepatitis etc.) or if you are on any blood thinning medication. These facts should come out during our Case History discussion, but you must disclose them.
It is also vital to let me know if you are (or even suspect that you might be) pregnant, as some acupoints are not used during pregnancy, and neither you nor your practitioner will want to take any unnecessary risks with your pregnancy.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes, acupuncture is safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. We use sterile, single-use needles to ensure your safety and comfort. There are very few side effects from acupuncture when practiced by a fully qualified practitioner of traditional acupuncture. Any minor side effects that do occur, such as dizziness or bruising around needle points are mild and self-correcting.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture is a safe form of treatment when performed by a well-trained, conscientious practitioner who has a good knowledge of human anatomy and who uses single-use sterile disposable needles. As a member of the acupuncture council of Ireland, I am bound by a Code of Clinical Practice – which includes the use of sterile single-use disposable needles. In addition, as a medical professional with over 20 years’ experience in a triple A rated hospital in Hanzhong China and in the Rotunda hospital here in Dublin, I have a very high level of clinical and diagnostic skills. Most people find it painless or occasionally mildly uncomfortable. The most common reaction is for people to feel the treatment very relaxing and some people fall asleep during treatments.
How many sessions will I need?
The amount of treatments you need will depend on the condition you are presenting with and your general lifestyle. In general guide, most people will see significant improvement within 4 to 6 weekly sessions. For conditions that have been present for a very long time this may take longer.
How does acupuncture support fertility?
Acupuncture can increase fertility by reducing stress, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs and balancing the endocrine system, according to several studies and medical research. Acupuncture helps to keep the normal flow of this energy unblocked, thereby increasing a couple’s chances of conceiving.Acupuncture improves blood flow to reproductive organs, balances hormones, and reduces stress, all of which enhance fertility for both men and women.
Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?
A qualified practitioner can perform acupuncture safely during pregnancy. Acupuncture is safe and effective for managing pregnancy symptoms and preparing for childbirth.
What is Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine and conventional medicine are used together in Asia and increasingly in western medicine. This combination extends to GP practices and hospital care in China. The key is to have a practitioner who understands how to use TCM in conjunction with ongoing treatments, in order to ensure long term benefits for the client. I believe that my medical training and experience alongside my acupuncture and TCM expertise can yield long term health benefits for my clients.
Does cupping hurt?
Cupping is generally not painful. You may feel a slight pulling sensation during the session, and it often results in a deep feeling of relaxation.
Is cupping safe?
Yes, cupping is safe when performed by a trained professional. We use high-quality, sterilised equipment to ensure your safety.
