Meet Dr. Marie Maher
“I love chiropractic. I love being a chiropractor.”
I am privileged to do what I do everyday and see the wonderful benefits that chiropractic has to offer. And yes we do see miracles. We see people everyday who have tried a lot of other therapies and it hasn’t worked for them and then chiropractic does. So many patients say “Oh I wish I had tried Chiropractic sooner” etc. My answer is always well at least you have now and can continue to do so in the future.
Chiropractic Career Path
I was never sure what I wanted to do but I knew I wanted to work in helping people.
I initially attended a course in Carlow IT, as it is now. It was previously Carlow RTC. I studied Applied Physiology and Health Science with a view to eventually go on to study Physiotherapy.
It was during my first year there that I discovered chiropractic, applied for the course at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic WIOC and never looked back.
From the start of my course to the end I enjoyed every second. It was very tough but I always knew it was the path for me.
Family Life
I met my husband Declan in 2002 and we have 3 beautiful children Cian, Ben and Emma. As a mother of young children there is not much free time however when I can I enjoy getting out for a run or walk.
We are a very active family and enjoy regular family walks together. We are extremely involved in GAA especially hurling which both our boys play so that takes a lot of our free time.
Health Habits
I receive regular Chiropractic care as does each member of my family. I love teaching my children about the benefits of good health and healthy eating. We keep medications to a minimum and as a testament to the power of breastfeeding and chiropractic care my children have never had an antibiotic! My children are 7,5 and 3.
I consider myself an excellent listener and hope I get the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss your specific health challenge.
