Acupuncture in Carrigaline

My name is Elaine O’Rourke, and I am a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Practitioner and Acupuncturist based in Ballinhassig, Co. Cork. I am delighted to be part of Carrigaline Wellness Centre.

I originally trained as a primary school teacher, my path over the past two decades has been guided by a deep personal connection to holistic health and natural healing.

I trained at the White Lotus College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, a school renowned for its high standards and authentic TCM practice. My professional training provided a strong clinical foundation across acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, facial and cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, and TCM-based lifestyle and dietary guidance.

As the founder of Serenity Acupuncture Cork, I provide treatments in a supportive, person-centred environment — helping clients restore balance, relieve symptoms, and improve overall well-being. My work covers a wide range of concerns including pain, stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, and fatigue. I have a particular interest in women’s health and fertility, supporting clients on their conception journey — whether naturally or alongside IVF — by helping to regulate cycles, reduce stress, and optimise reproductive health.

 

• Acupuncture-is a gentle, holistic therapy that involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to restore balance, support natural healing, and promote overall well-being.
• Cupping Therapy – Relieves muscle tension, improves circulation, and supports detoxification.
• Moxibustion – Uses therapeutic heat to stimulate Qi and blood flow, dispel cold, and promote healing.
• Facial/Cosmetic Acupuncture – A natural approach to skincare that enhances radiance, stimulates collagen and skin tone.
• Microneedling – Stimulates collagen production to renew the skin, smooth fine lines, and improve texture.

For me, TCM is about caring for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. Whether you’re seeking relief, balance, or a deeper sense of well-being, I offer a safe, compassionate space to support your healing journey.
