At Happy Body Body Acupuncture, we help people to understand their own mind, body and spirit. We assess and integrate all aspects of living; offering practical solutions. We support you in your healing and transformations, enhancing your vitality for life.
Happy Body Acupuncture was set up by Catherine Caulfield. A registered nurse, Catherine developed her knowledge of the human body with studies in Reflexology, Reiki, Traditional Chinese Acupuncture and Naturopathy. Catherine’s medical training and rich experience allows her to both guide and support her clients through ill health. She also challenges clients to become more personally aware, helping them to unlock their ability to transform their own lives. Based in a quiet and private location near Glaslough, Happy Body Acupuncture provides a safe space for you to relax and heal.
Acupuncture is a system which supports and activates internal energy pathways in the body, corresponding with organs and body parts. It involves using tiny hair- like disposable needles to stimulate selected Acupuncture points to restore health.
This is a widely practiced therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine, often used for conditions related to digestion, fertility and menstrual issues, pain, sprains and fatigue. It is often successful in helping to turn Breech babies during pregnancy.
The sound vibrations of the sound healing instruments penetrate deep into the tissue. This improves blood circulation and metabolism, regulates muscle tension and deeply stimulates the tissue. Moreover, regeneration and repair mechanisms are stimulated.
Cupping is an ancient therapy which creates suction. Cupping is often used with Acupuncture needles to relieve stagnation of qi (Chi) and blood, addressing uncomfortable conditions such as headache, neck and shoulder pain and back pain.
Catherine’s ethos at Happy Body Acupuncture is to provide a nurturing space where the client feels safe to communicate their individual needs and facilitate their healing and personal growth.
We are in the Digital Age. So let’s embrace it! Happy Body Acupuncture now offers online face to face therapy sessions to augment our Safe Space sessions. For those of you who cannot meet Catherine in person this could be the perfect option for you.
Our Ethos is built on integrity & discernment, compassion & care, growth mindset, healing, inspiration & discovery. How we care for ourselves, impacts everyone. We help you understand your body, mind & intuition in your own individual way; helping you find your answers & solutions. We use simple & pragmatic approaches, so you have the tools to use in your daily life. Follow up support in person, or online is accessible and flexible.
Feeling stuck, stagnant, burnt out or uncertain of your direction? This is a natural state when things are changing, but can feel extremely challenging and draining, as change means changing. Changing and adapting to change, can feel scrambled and vague, leading to quick decisions and mind states of “need to” and “should do”. Your mind and world can open in a moment, once you reach openings from up new perspectives, and draw your focus to what is meaningful and valuable in YOUR life. Book your Clarity and Discovery call now, to identify your psychological patterns, acknowledge and see your strengths and potentials.
Contact Catherine for an introductory free 15 minute call, to understand the simple process, and so you can decide if this is the right fit for you. Gift Certificates are available on the bookings page.
"Catherine, what can I say, you have changed my life and helped me reset my body and mind. I spent so many years of my life dealing with constipation and getting some relief but nothing ever seemed to last long term. I had been to acupuncture before with other people but with you it just hit different. Your chat before the treatment is so uplifting, as you actually explained to me that it was childhood trauma that was the main contributing factor to me holding on to things. After my first appointment everything just clicked I was more aware of my actually mind set and the needles obviously were a great kick start! I can not recommend you enough you are such a special talented person who can help so many others. I love the impact you have had on me. I just wanted to share this with you for you to share with others as I know there are so many people like me dealing with chronic stress and constipation, and putting it down to diet instead of mindset."

“I have attended Catherine with issues as diverse as joint pains, sleep issues, stress, poor focus and concentration, and chronic fatigue type symptoms. Her intuitive understanding of what is happening in my body and her explanations and use of Acupuncture, Cupping, BodyTalk, as well as nutritional and supplement advice, which helped clear most of my symptoms and markedly reduced the others. Her manner and personality help create a relaxing environment and I came away from every session feeling positive, empowered and motivated. Catherine is a brilliant therapist and I would highly recommend her to anyone with any kind of health issue”

“I first visited Catherine as I was feeling very sluggish and tired following a stomach bug. Catherine recommended acupuncture. Within a couple of days I was starting to get my “mojo” back. Since then I have been attending Catherine for stress and general wellness. I have experienced cupping and acupuncture at Catherine’s healing hands and I can honestly say that she has worked wonders on my general health. Her calm approach and words always leave me feeling relaxed and looking forward to my next visit.”

“A friend of mine recommended I try acupuncture for the persistent shoulder and back pain I'd been having for the last two years, although to be honest I was a little apprehensive because I'm not the biggest fan of needles. Thankfully Catherine was quick to put me at ease and after a through assessment a combination of cupping and acupuncture was decided on. After a few sessions the pain had subsided considerably and my range of motion had improved considerably. Giving me guidance on my diet and suggesting some lifestyle changes I've also been able to address digestion issues I've been having for years. Catherine has also started to introduce BodyTalk into our sessions and this has taken them to the next level. It never fails to amaze me how Catherine can use her intuition to bring events and experiences from my past and present and help me understand how they may be contributing to my ongoing symptoms...something that I may not have realised but I certainly recognise. Catherine has a wonderfully caring nature, a vast knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, and a great understanding of the anatomy. I'd recommend everyone book in for an appointment because I can honestly say it has changed my life!”
