Castlebar physiotherapist Margaret Fitzgibbon is set to her new children's book launch 'Myths and Meridians'

CASTLEBAR physiotherapist Margaret Fitzgibbon has released a debut children’s book which has proven very popular since it went on sale last week.

In her free time, Margaret loves learning, being in nature, delving into areas such as wellness, health, and spiritual development. Her goal is to spread her passion for creative and healthy living, so everyone can lead a more balanced life.
