I just want to say thank you so much Sinèad, my daughter was having off the scale temper tantrums. She was extremely hard to calm down anything and everything was setting her off to the extent I was afraid to go out in public with her for fear she would have a melt down, I didn’t want to go down the route of sending her to Doctors to have my child branded as having some sort of disorder. So both myself and my daughter went to see Sinèad, where she asked me questions about her behaviour and also included my daughter in the conversation without her feeling like she was being grilled with questions. We were both put at ease and the improvement in my daughter was amazing! She is a much calmer child now and I highly recommend Sinéad and Homeopathic remedies.

Highly recommended.

My teenage son’s acne has improved dramatically ….. he is over the moon, he says he’s taking way more selfies now – awwww – Just brilliant!
Private Client, Kerry
I brought my son to Sinead a few months ago. He had glue ear and was experiencing 60% loss of hearing in one ear and 40% in the other due to the amount of built up fluid in his ears. He was potentially facing surgery. I was scared for him, and as a last resort turned to Sinead. At his next ear appointment, they said that all the fluid had gone from his ears. I don’t believe that it was merely a coincidence. I was extremely surprised and impressed. I am very grateful to Sinead, thank you so much. I would highly recommend her services.
