William’s Background

A deeper look at William’s training, first hand journey into natural healing, and the experiences that shape his approach to patient care.

Clinical Training

William runs an acupuncture clinic in Dublin 15 and has been trained in Ireland and America by leading authorities in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, including Dr Vincent Carroll, Kathleen Dowd, Wil Sierra, Tonya Weber, Min K. Jeon, Bob Duane, Dr Jeremy Steiner and Jeremy Cornish. He also spent a year studying biomedicine at the College of Naturopathic Medicine before transferring to Lansdowne College, where he completed three years specialising in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

A Personal Journey into Natural Healing

William’s interest in natural healing began in 2001, during a period of personal difficulty when he experienced a series of panic attacks. By adopting an integrated approach — including Transcendental Meditation (TM), Reiki, Integrated Energy Therapy (I.E.T.) and nutrition — he experienced firsthand how natural therapies can restore balance and resilience. This experience continues to shape the foundation of his practice and gives him a strong understanding of what many patients may be going through.

Sport, Recovery & Wellbeing

William’s background as an athlete also informs his approach to healing. Having represented Ireland in gymnastics at underage level and played with the Dublin minor footballers, he understands the value of physical wellbeing, discipline and recovery. Today, he continues to nurture his own health through Sprint Triathlons, bringing that same commitment and dedication to helping patients achieve their own health goals.

Advanced Training & Continued Professional Development

William continues to build on his training across fertility, pain management, diagnostics, electro-therapy and herbal medicine.

As a fully qualified herbal medicine practitioner, William creates custom-blended formulas for each patient. Herbal medicine works well alongside acupuncture, but also stands on its own, making it especially suited to online consultations for those who can't easily get to clinic in person.

What Patients Say About William.

Personal experiences from patients who have received personalised acupuncture care at AcuFusion.

"I had been suffered from very tense and painful shoulders and neck along with headaches for several weeks.I booked an appointment with Will for acupuncture, and I’m so glad I did. Will used a combination of acupuncture and cupping, and the difference has been amazing after two appointments I don’t have a daily headaches and shoulders and neck feel so much better. I finally feel like I can relax again. Will is very professional,knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable throughout the treatment. I’m really grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with tension and headaches. Thank you Will."

"Great first consultation with William. He was very welcoming and knowledgeable. It was my first time doing acupuncture and he immediately set me at ease. If you’re thinking of trying out acupuncture then I’d certainly recommend AcuFusion."

—Eamon T
"I went to Will when I was experiencing stomach trouble and odd sensations (pins and needles, cold) in my hands and feet. He is both interested and interesting, very reassuring and knows the body very well. I was put at ease from the start and there was never any pressure applied to spend more etc. I did 6 sessions and was delighted with the overall results, I also bought a herb which Will recommended that seemed to settle the stomach well too. Overall I found the experience incredibly rewarding as someone who knew little about acupuncture originally. I found Will a pleasure to deal with too. I feel better and it was obvious from the start that was what was important to Will. I picked the right place to visit all told!"

— Donal S
"I had very good results from my session with Will, he explained as he went along and I never felt rushed. I had both tennis elbow and a shoulder complaint, my elbow is pain free and my shoulder pain has been greatly reduced. Thanks Will"
