Róisín is married to Peter and has four grown up children. From an early age, Róisín showed an aptitude and interest in healing and a great love of people. Roisin initially trained in Our Lady's Hospital Crumlin, as a children's nurse and later in The Mater Hospital as a general nurse. She finished her nursing training in the Coombe Maternity Hospital and worked in the medical profession, in Dublin, for fifteen years. 

Her interest in complementary medicine started when her first baby, Ciarán, developed very severe eczema at aged 6 weeks. His dry skin used to crack and bleed, was continually itchy and he was unable to sleep at night without medication. At the time, Róisín was working in children's ICU in Temple Street. To her dismay, nothing the experienced ICU doctors offered her son helped, and her search began. Roisin studied relentlessly looking for a cure for her son. She tried various exclusion diets, numerous creams, steroids, anti histamines, reflexology and conventional single dose homeopathy. However, after 12 years, there was still no improvement in the eczema! 

Róisín is now trained in Herbalism, Naturopathy, Holistic Dietetics, Counselling, Reflexology, Pastoral care and has studied many other forms of natural healing. Following her son's dramatic recovery, Róisín wanted to help other people who did not find the answer to health problems in conventional medicine. Roisin lectured in The College of Naturopathic Medicine for over 10 years, where she was also the Head of Herbal Medicine In Ireland. She has recently taken a break to focus on complementary cancer research.
