About Matt Dunham Wellness

Discover the path to a happier, healthier you with Matt Dunham Wellness

Welcome to Matt Dunham Wellness where healing and well-being take centre stage. As a dedicated therapist based in County Galway, Ireland, I strive to facilitate healing and balance with individuals, groups, teams, and corporations. With a multifaceted approach to holistic wellness, I look at the whole picture and use acupuncture, breath coaching, and Reiki to facilitate well being and healing.

My journey into the world of therapy began nearly 20 years ago when I used acupuncture to stop smoking. Since that transformational experience I have used acupuncture regularly to maintain balance in myself as well as address specific needs along the way, such as stress, common colds and physical injuries/ pains.

I worked within the construction industry in many roles from labourer to director for nearly 30 years and could be identified as being successful in this field depending on how you measure success. And that is what changed in recent years, my measure of what success looked like redefined itself and shifted away from the corporate world, living away from home in hotels, and constantly focusing on ever demanding targets and numbers.

Deciding to change my future I enrolled and started a 3 year diploma course with the Acupuncture Foundation Ireland to become a qualified acupuncturist, which I completed and achieved in 2021.

I also became an avid reader of anything to do with natural health, wellness, aging, mindfulness and an alternative way of being. I discovered breath work through my Wife’s interest and training in the subject and included this into my library. Fascinated by what I was reading I attended a week long retreat with world renowned experts in the field in 2023 and this was truly life changing. As soon as I returned home I signed up to train as a breath instructor and coach with Oxygen Advantage. This whole experience became the catalyst to hand in my resignation and make that first step away from the corporate world.

As I have outlined here flexibility is at the core of my business. I understand that there are so many variables in people and our experiences in life whether positive or negative and I seek to work with an open, non judgemental, and honest approach to find the best solution for you.

I have the flexibility to work from several locations across County Galway but can also treat you in the comfort of your home, at your training facilities or the dynamic environment of a corporate setting.
