About the speaker

Dave Shipsey in his own words: “I am a Registered Acupuncturist, Author and Teacher. I have been practising Acupuncture in Dublin since 2001. I discovered Abdominal Acupuncture in 2000 whilst on a one year clinical and medical Acupuncture internship in Nanjing, China under the supervision of Dr Han. In October 2015 I published my book “Mastering the Art of Abdominal Acupuncture, a Concise Guide to Treating Numerous Painful Conditions”. This peer reviewed book is the first of its kind to be published in English on the subject. Today I run my own AA training program (CPD accredited) for qualified and final year student acupuncturists. The courses have evolved organically over the years and I feel that I have now found the perfect balance of theory and practice. I teach in Ireland, Great Britain, Europe, Australia and the US.”
