About Vitalis Health

Dr Siobhan Graham, originally from Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, began her medical studies in Queen’s University in 1995. She opened Vitalis Health in April 2019 to offer a more holistic approach to patient care.

Her own family upbringing influenced her interest in medicine from a young age; her mother ran a GP clinic in Cookstown and she is deeply involved in the care of her brother, Christopher, who has Down Syndrome.

As a qualified Meditation instructor and sports injury clinician, Siobhan weaves the value of movement and mindfulness into the clinic ethos, along with benefits of individualised nutrition.
