Her wealth of experience in the day-to-day running of the practice is invaluable. Sabrina is more than happy to answer any questions you might have during the course of your treatment.

In her spare time (!) Sabrina has a second job being a football Mum and homemaker in Rathfarnham, where she lives with her husband and young son.

On her return to Ireland, she took a course in Digital Marketing with the Fitzwilliam Institute before starting with us here in Dundrum.
