Qi Acupuncture Clinic was founded by Maria Lira, a Chartered Physiotherapist and acupuncturist with over 10 years of clinical experience.

Maria specialises in acupuncture for women’s health, fertility (including IVF) pregnancy care and chronic pain, combining her background in physiotherapy with Traditional Chinese Medicine to provide effective and personalised treatment.

She also has extensive experience treating chronic pain conditions including back, neck, shoulder, knee and hip pain, migraines, TMJ disorders, fibromyalgia and neuropathic facial pain in adults, children and older patients.

In addition to her acupuncture practice in Navan, Maria works as a Senior Physiotherapist at Kells Physiotherapy Clinic. This dual background allows her to take a more clinical and integrated approach, particularly in complex or long-standing pain conditions.

Maria is a member of the Acupuncture Foundation Professional Association (AFPA) and the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists. She is also a certified Doula in Ireland, offering additional support to women throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period.

Her focus is always to tailor to the unique needs of the patient. She provides  a bespoke treatment plan for each of her patients to meet their set goals. 

Maria believes that caring for mental and emotional health is an essential part of a healing process; she creates a safe, supportive environment where patients feel truly listened to and understood.
