Women’s Health

We offer thoughtful, individualised care through every stage of life — from early hormonal changes to fertility, menopause, and beyond. Treatments are gently tailored to meet your body’s unique needs, supporting the physical and emotional changes that unfold over time.

Cycle Support

Acupuncture offers a natural, effective way to support hormonal health — especially for teenagers and young women dealing with painful or irregular cycles. Rather than masking symptoms with the pill, Traditional Chinese Medicine works to identify the root cause and help the body restore balance.

Pregnancy Support

Acupuncture offers gentle, natural support through every stage of pregnancy — easing symptoms like nausea, fatigue, pain, and anxiety. In the final weeks, it can also help prepare for labour by encouraging the body to begin the birthing process. Each treatment is tailored to your stage and needs, with safety, comfort, and calm at the heart of every session

Chronic Pain

Whether it’s back pain, neck tension, headaches, or joint stiffness, acupuncture can provide effective relief without medication or side effects. By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and calming the nervous system, acupuncture helps the body release pain naturally.

Fatigue

If you're feeling constantly drained — even after rest — you're not alone. Chronic fatigue can affect every part of life, from your energy and mood to your ability to focus or simply get through the day. At Serene Acupuncture, we work to understand the root cause of your fatigue and support your body’s natural recovery.

Stress & Emotional Wellbeing

Acupuncture can help ease anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, and emotional tension by regulating the nervous system and supporting the Shén (spirit). Whether you're feeling stuck, burnt out, or emotionally drained, treatment offers calm, clarity, and a sense of grounding.

Acupuncture in Cork for respiratory health, asthma
Acupuncture in Cork to support asthma and easier breathing

Respiratory Health

Acupuncture can offer support for chest tightness, shortness of breath, or a stubborn post-viral cough, without the need for medication or side effects. Treatment works by easing tension and supporting Lung function to restore comfortable breathing.

Asthma

Whether it’s exercise-induced, seasonal, or long-standing, acupuncture can help ease asthma symptoms and support steadier, more open breathing.

Treatment works by supporting core Lung function, calming the breath, and reducing sensitivity to common triggers.

Sinus & Hay Fever Relief

Acupuncture can help reduce nasal congestion, sneezing, sinus pressure, and itchy eyes by calming the immune response and opening the airways. It’s a natural, drug-free way to ease both seasonal allergies and chronic sinus issues.

Initial Consultation, Diagnosis & Treatment

€80 · 60-75 mins

Your first visit is an in-depth, one-to-one session where we take the time to understand you — not just your symptoms. This appointment includes a full Traditional Chinese Medicine consultation and diagnosis, followed by your first acupuncture treatment.

We’ll explore your current concerns, overall health, emotional well-being, lifestyle, and health history.

What’s included:

  • Full TCM consultation

  • Pulse and tongue diagnosis

  • Bespoke acupuncture treatment

  • Lifestyle and self-care support (if desired)

This is medicine with depth, care, and clarity .

Follow-up Acupuncture Treatments

€70 ·50 minutes

Each follow-up session builds on your initial diagnosis and is adapted to how you’re feeling on the day. We begin with a brief check-in to understand any changes in your symptoms, energy levels, sleep, mood, or cycles.

You are not expected to be the same every time you arrive, and your treatment won’t be either. This is acupuncture that evolves with you.

What’s included:

  • Check-in and ongoing assessment

  • Pulse and tongue diagnosis

  • Personalised acupuncture treatment

  • Supportive care and guidance as needed

Gentle, grounding, and always tailored to you.

Cupping

€50 · 30 minutes (Or add-on to acupuncture for €30)

Cupping is a deeply relaxing therapy that uses suction to move stagnant Qì, release tension, and support circulation. It’s especially effective for muscular pain, stress, and fatigue.

At Serene Acupuncture, cupping is always applied with care and sensitivity, tailored to your body and needs. It can be used as a standalone treatment or added to acupuncture for extra benefit.

What to expect:

  • Warm bamboo cups placed on the skin using gentle suction

  • Focused treatment for back, shoulders, or other areas of tension

  • May leave temporary circular marks — a sign that stagnation is being released

Cupping is an ancient therapy, but the relief it brings is immediate
