Deirdre Mackesy
RGN. D. Acup. LCH. MISH.
Having qualified as a nurse in 1984 I worked as a Staff Nurse in emergency care, hospice care, medicine and surgery. I then spent over 2 years with a medical aid agency, working in Africa with lepers and victims of famine and war. It was in Africa that I first came across complementary methods of healing. This was the start of the long journey ahead.
Following this time I have been continuously studying many areas of holistic and complementary medicine including: Reflexology, Acupuncture, Aromatherapy, Massage, Reiki, Ear Candling, Tuina, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Homoeopathy. I have gained valuable experience studying pharmacology and anatomy & physiology whilst working in the pharmaceutical industry for 9 years when I was studying for most of the above courses on a part time basis. Altogether I have spent 25 years in the health care sector. I have studied in China, London, Cork, Dublin and Sri Lanka and I am totally dedicated to Complementary forms of healing for the sick and infirmed.
On my return from my acupuncture and homoeopathic studies in Sri Lanka and China in Nov 1997, Deirdre made her debut on Irish Television launching "Homoeopuncture" onto the Irish market. Homoeopuncture is the marriage of acupuncture and homoeopathy. Sterile acupuncture needles are soaked in sterile water impregnated with the required homoeopathic remedy. These are inserted into the acupuncture points. Alternatively in the advanced practise of homoeopuncture, a few drops of the substance can be injected into the acupuncture points. This has profound results for example in conditions such as frozen shoulder and tennis elbow. Over the last 10 years I have had many articles published along with numerous radio interviews. I am passionate about what I practice and certainly feel I have found my niche in life!
Robin Hill Clinic is the realization of a dream for me. A true haven of healing and relaxation where a multi faceted approach to chronic illness is proving with time, to be extremely effective in alleviating and indeed "curing" many long-term conditions.
The genesis of The Cork Natural Fertility Clinic has arisen due to the many couples and individuals I have treated during my years of practice. I am very proud of the results we have achieved as a team to date.
