Hello! I’m Anny O’Neill.

I've spent my working life with people at their most vulnerable. I trained as a nurse, took an honours BSc in intensive care, specialised in cardio thoracic ICU, and went on to become a clinical tutor. I've nursed around the world on international repatriations, including time in India. I've seen the human body at its most extreme, in many medical systems, and I've seen what years of unmanaged health can become. 

When my brother Arthur was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour at thirty-three, natural medicine helped him live fully and comfortably until he died, alongside the care only hospital medicine could give. That experience became my conviction: health is both a science and an art, and it works best when the two are joined. In his memory, The ART of HEALTH was born.

How I work

Twenty-five years on, I work in a deeply holistic way, looking at the whole person: body, emotions, mind and spirit. Everything about a person is connected, and all of it deserves to be acknowledged.

On the physical level, I begin with digestion. Science now sees the gut microbiome as something like the conductor of human health, and research shows the trillions of microbes in our gut talk constantly with the brain, affecting our mood, hormones, energy, immunity and so much more. After 25 years at the coalface, it's good to see the research catching up with what the body has been telling us all along. A healthy digestive system has a massive impact on our overall health, and I have the privilege of seeing that everyday.

On the emotional and mental level, my focus is the nervous system. What we carry can beheld deep in the physical body, often far below conscious awareness. Through BodyTalk and mind–body balancing, I work directly with the nervous system and the body's own innate intelligence. This can release held emotion, soften physical tension, and sometimes open the door to a deep personal breakthrough.

So much of our stress around health comes from not understanding where the imbalance lies. People want to be understood, and they want a clear path: to know where to put their focus. After 25 years and thousands of hours in practice, I can hear where a person is, see what needs to be understood, and help light the way forward.

And that is the ART of HEALTH.

Today

I work from my clinics in Galway and Kildare, and online. I teach human science modules at the Irish School of Herbal Medicine, and I'm Treasurer of the IAMMH (Irish Association ofMaster Medical Herbalists). I'm also available for talks and conferences on integrative medicine.

My ambition is to bring conventional and natural medicine close enough that they can truly blend and become one. It should never be one or the other.

I live by the sea in Galway with my husband and our four children. 

I look forward to meeting you.
