I am an international author, Master Face Reader and practitioner of Chinese Medicine – Herbalism, Acupuncture and Chinese Nutrition. I specialise in Face Reading, Facial Diagnosis and Yang Sheng ‘Nurturing Life’.
For the past 34 years I have been teaching the skills of Chinese Medicine at Graduate and Post-graduate level both in Ireland and internationally. I also teach and mentor students and practitioners in Chinese Herbal Medicine, Chinese Nutrition, Face Reading, Facial Diagnosis, Facial Rejuvenation and Acupuncture.
One of my big passions is the art of Yang-Sheng or “Nurturing Life”, based on the ancient philosophy of living in harmony with the world and yourself. Food and lifestyle being the focus. This is linked to the areas of rejuvenation which is another passion of mine and the subject of my book Nourishing Life The Yang Sheng Way Nutrition and Lifestyle Advice from Chinese Medicine.

Face Reading and Facial Diagnosis
The art of Face Reading is about discovering yourself through your face. This ancient technique used in Chinese Medicine for thousands of years not only helps us understand someone’s health but also their personality, likes, dislikes, abilities and passions.
Facial Diagnosis: Observation is one of the main methods of diagnoses in Chinese medicine along with palpation, questioning, listening and odours.
The Face is a map of who we are and what we have been through in life. It’s tell’s us about future possiblities and past traumas. It helps us tap into our strengths, see the health of our organs and understand the emotions behind our lines.For example, if you look at the eyebrows, we can see how the liver and gall bladder organs are doing; we can see issues with the spine like back pain on the nose, as well as how the pancreas is dealing with sugar and the philtrum is the area that reveals our fertility and creativity.
The Face give clues about our purpose in this life.
