YOUR ACUPUNCTURIST - Providing Acupuncture for People from Bray, Wicklow and Dublin
Mark Goulding has been treating people from Bray, Dublin and Wicklow, with acupuncture since 1999. He has helped many people with a variety of different conditions. He began his career in the medical area in 1982, working for medical and pharmaceutical companies. Over a 13 year period, he was involved in various key medical areas, including cardiology, CNS, gynaecology, pain management, respiratory, urology, ear/nose/throat, gastro-intestinal, infection control and endocrinology.
Believing that there must be more to healthcare than drug therapy, in 1995 he began studying Chinese medicine and acupuncture with the Acupuncture Foundation of Ireland. During the Foundation's three year course, his lecturers included renowned Chinese medicine academics Professor Lao Jin Huide and Dr Wu Jidong from Nanjing University, medical doctors, and a number of eminent European acupuncture practitioners. The course also included the study of aspects of conventional medicine e.g. anatomy, physiology, pathology, conventional treatments etc.
Mark’s unique approach to acupuncture includes a commitment to integrating acupuncture and Chinese medicine with conventional medicine (which you can access through your GP). Mark believes that when these two systems work together patients experience the best results.
Having qualified as an acupuncturist Mark travelled to China and undertook post graduate training in 1998 at the Nanjing University’s International Acupuncture Training Centre and clinical work at Nanjing Municipal Hospital - one of China's most prestigious acupuncture hospitals. As part of his continuing professional development Mark has undertaken courses in Chinese Herbal Medicine, Treatment of Gynaecological and infertility problems, Auricular Acupuncture, and Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture.
He has recently completed a 2 year post-graduate diploma course in Chinese Herbal Medicine and was awarded his diploma by the Chinese Ambassador to Ireland His Excellency Mr. Liu Bewei.
