Maria O’Regan

The gentle art of acupuncture

Our philosophy

The Arnica approach

Arnica Clinic was established in 1985. Since then, we have had the pleasure of treating many patients, both young and old. We aim to provide a holistic, safe space for your acupuncture treatment. Over the years, we have evolved our practice to incorporate both ancient and modern therapies, and we place a particular emphasis on the very gentle needling style associated with the Japanese tradition.

While we specialise in a number of particular areas, one of the benefits of acupuncture therapy is to meet each individual where they are. We endeavour to provide the best possible care, whatever the circumstances.

What our clients say

Testimonials

"I am very reassured by the extra measures introduced as a result of Covid-19"
“I highly recommend Maria O’Regan at the Arnica Clinic. I have been getting acupuncture from Maria for many years, and the service is always excellent. Maria is a wise, kind and very knowledgeable person, and I always leave the clinic in a better place than when I entered it. The treatment rooms are always spotlessly clean and I am very reassured by the extra measures introduced as a result of Covid-19.”
"I first went to Maria while on cancer treatment eight years ago"
“I first went to Maria while on cancer treatment eight years ago. She used her in-depth, holistic knowledge of the human body and mind to help me become healthy again. Since then, I have been going to Maria regularly. Her expertise in acupuncture and other complementary medicines, wisdom, friendliness and caring attitude make me feel like I am in the best of hands. Emma, at the reception, couldn’t be more welcoming, friendly and helpful.”
"During acupuncture sessions, there’s no pain with the needles"
“I’ve found Maria to be a very professional holistic therapist, a knowledgeable person and lovely to chat to. During acupuncture sessions, there’s no pain with the needles – I sometimes don’t even feel them when they’re put in. The rooms are clean and warm. The secretary, Emma, is very polite and efficient. I highly recommend the Arnica Clinic and Maria for her excellent service.”
"Maria is a natural healer and carer – one look and she seems to know what ails me"
“I have been attending Maria’s acupuncture clinic for any ailment and injury I have had over the last 20 years. From the moment the phone is answered by Emma, I feel understood and looked after. Maria is a natural healer and carer – one look and she seems to know what ails me. Her holistic approach to health is very reassuring and her instincts are spot on. I would not hesitate to recommend her. ”
"The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and privacy is assured"
“The Arnica Clinic has come to my rescue on many an occasion. From shoulder pain to anxiety brought on by stress, Maria has always been able to find an answer. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and privacy is assured. I cannot recommend the Arnica Clinic highly enough – in fact, I regularly send colleagues there, who have all been very grateful.”
"There is always a welcoming smile from Maria and her receptionist, Emma"
“I have been consulting Maria at the Arnica Clinic for around two years – mainly for bilateral lower-limb discomfort. I can now walk for longer periods, and carry out chores I was not capable of doing before I started attending. Maria is extremely professional and is interested in all aspects of your well-being. There is always a welcoming smile from Maria and her receptionist, Emma. I cannot recommend Arnica highly enough.”
"Since starting to have acupuncture, I find that I rarely get sick"
“I attend the Arnica Clinic for acupuncture with Maria. I thoroughly recommend it, as it benefits my whole body. It builds up my immune system and enhances my being: since starting to have acupuncture, I find that I rarely get sick. I feel secure with Maria. The whole clinic experience is uplifting, with great staff in a very clean, professional and welcoming environment.”
"Maria O’Regan has been my acupuncturist since 1996. That alone speaks for itself"
“Maria O’Regan has been my acupuncturist since 1996. That alone speaks for itself. I have absolute trust in her treatment of me, and I feel its benefits straight away. Her clinic is run 100% professionally, with a high degree of privacy and cleanliness, and her receptionist, Emma, is very friendly and efficient. Given my overall experience, I would totally recommend the Arnica Clinic.”
"I can completely relax while the treatment works its magic"
“My family and I have been seeing Maria at Arnica Clinic for at least 10 years. She is always incredibly helpful, and I look forward to my acupuncture sessions. I can completely relax while the treatment works its magic. I leave the practice re-energised and feeling great. As well as being a brilliant acupuncturist, Maria is extremely practical, and always gives me sound advice on nutrition and exercise.”
