About Michael Thompson
I am unique in being both a homeopath and an acupuncturist and have been in practice for more than 35 years. I work in two clinics: in Northampton (UK) and in Ennis, Co. Clare (Ireland).
I also do homeopathy consultations on Skype. My skype address is loughbunny but please email me from the contact page to arrange.
My patients range from young children & adolescents to mature individuals! I still enjoy working with patients as much as ever and feel that I have a great deal still to do! I am too busy to even think of retiring.
