About Us


Maria Torica

I am an Ireland-Licensed and Registered Acupuncturist practicing in the Healing House, 24 O’Connell Avenue, Berkeley Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7, and B4, KCR Estate, Ravensdale Park, Kimmage, Dublin 12.

I graduated from Acupuncture Foundation, Ireland’s Premier Institute of Chinese Medicine, where I studied under prominent Chinese Doctors and Professors. I completed Postgraduate training with the Nanjing University World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborative Center on Traditional Medicine, China. I completed my clinical training in the 2nd Affiliated Hospital, Nanjing, under supervision of Dr. Gu Zhaojin, Professor of TCM, Dep. Director of Jiangsu Neurology Committee and Chief Physician of 2nd Affiliated Hospital.

I have years of experience of successful treating of neurological conditions, stress, insomnia, anxiety, depression, headaches, sinusitis, sciatica, palsy, menopausal syndrome, facial rejuvenation, infertility, weight loss, etc...

I have been practicing Acupuncture since 2012, I have added several modalities to my skill set over the years, now I am branching out into Aromatherapy in hopes of enriching the work I provide for my clients. I now feel that through this beautiful art I am assisting them on many subtle levels during a session in addition to the acupuncture work itself. Aromatherapy has long been an interest of mine and now I am loving absorbing it into my life and using it to help others.


As a member of the Acupuncture Foundation Professional Association (AFPA), Ireland’s representative of the prestigious international standards organisation, I am bound by a strict code of ethics and best practice.
