Patricia McNally
Patricia has been practicing & teaching the healing arts for over 30 years. She is a practitioner of Classical Five Element Acupuncture; teaches the ancient art of T'ai Chi Chuan & facilitates Alignment workshops (another name for Mindfulness). The essence of all her work re-minds us that we are more than just body & mind. We are much more than that! And when we have an opportunity to go deeper using tools like T'ai Chi practice; Meditation or take a workshop or receive Acupuncture treatments, we experience a deeper connection to our true selves. With this focus & experience we access healing, peace, freedom & the joy of being.
Patricia first studied T’ai Chi in Dublin in 1976. A couple of years later Professor Patrick Watson, the founder of the School of T’ai Chi Chuan (STCC) came to Dublin to teach. When Patrick met Patricia he invited her to become a teacher. He was a senior student with Grand Master Cheng Man Ch’ing (the Great Grandmaster of T’ai Chi Chuan). Cheng was impressed with Patrick’s ability & instructed him to set up a school to train teachers. The school has grown to worldwide status.
Patricia began her teacher training in New York City and also spent some time in Amsterdam teaching & studying. Patrick's school trains instructors in team-teaching. Patrick & Patricia made a strong connection and spent many happy times together - teaching and learning. Patrick saw potential in Patricia and awarded her special permission to teach on her own. He gave this permission to only a handful of teachers in the school.
Patricia set up the School of T'ai Chi Chuan in Dublin in 1979 & has taught many hundreds of people over time. She has also taught in other cities throughout European & in the US.
"I LOVE teaching (she says) and seeing people change and being able to recognize their own inner power.... taking them back to balance and unity"
Patricia's Acupuncture practice is located in Booterstown, Co. Dublin. She treats many people with various kinds of symptoms and dis-ease. "Treating with Classical Acupuncture is an amazing experience because every person is unique, no matter what symptoms are displaying. This system of Acupuncture addresses the whole person - body, mind & spirit. “I see the symptoms more like red flags directing my attention to the cause of the illness or imbalance and thus assisting nature return the person to a place of health".
"It's a wonderful tool for transformation and a great way to regain connection to our inner power and energy"
