Emer McFarlane Dip Lic Acu. N.D.
Acupuncturist & Coach
As a mum of 4 - incuding identical twin girls and two Teens.!! I know first-hand all about stress, overwhelm, confusion, Brainfog, frustration… and the rest. Life’s natural up’s and down’s. Let’s just say that I have ‘Bitten off a lot’ :)
We understand that life can be challenging and that change is both inevitable and hard and part of our evolution. How we face change and challenges will have an impact on or wholeself.
Change,exciting new journeys, scary quests all require resilience and grace, self-compassion for your whole self. I’m not just talking about changes in our external lifes such as career, relationships.. that we have to just ‘get through somehow’ but changes in our physical bodies and our emotions and our internal world. And often we have simultanous change happening - internal and external. We also know all about the mindbody connection now how the mind affects the body and vice versa. We are Holistic and wish to be treated Holistically. As above so below, we are nature.
These inner changes can feel painful when they go unacknowledged. Your body, mind and emotions all want to be seen and heard and spoken to.
On the other side of change there is usually some gold or beauty, let me support you on your deep and natural Journey.
For the past 15 years, I have been focussed on developing and nurturing my Acupuncture practice supporting women through Pregnancy, Fertility, Stress and Life Changing events such as Peri-menopause and end of relationships, end of career, start of family life etc.
My approach may include TCM Wisdom, Acupuncture, Moxa, Cupping Naturopathy, Reiki, and Coaching, Mantra and with a little bit of magic thrown in too. :)
I currently serve the communities of Greystones,Kilcoole & Wicklow, and have been in locum roles with two renowned Fertility Acupuncturists in Dublin over the years.
My goal is to provide comprehensive care and support for women at various stages of life, from ladies trying to Conceive, already Pregnant or navigating the challenges of Menopause.
Looking forward to supporting you on your health/life/emotional /spiritual/physical/mental Journey. x

Mentoring and Acupuncture
Emer,
I hope you had a fab holiday! Just getting in touch to say two things:
Firstly really thank you, the acupuncture session is the only explanation for how incredible I feel now, I don’t know how to describe it, but I spent most of the next day crying and some sort of detoxing went on and I’m the happiest and most clearest or balanced I’ve ever been. I had a really tough year and was feeling really lost and detached before my session and I don’t know how but everything is good now. I genuinely can’t thank you enough.
Fertility Acupuncture & Coaching
I have really enjoyed my acupuncture sessions with Emer, she is very good at explaining every thing she is doing and putting you at ease. After only two sessions I definitely noticed a difference in my energy levels and an unexpected increase in my libido!
Fertility Acupuncture & Coaching
I really appreciated the coaching sessions i had with Emer. She has a great balance between empathy and appropriately challenging, as well as asking probing questions without being too direct. I learnt a lot about myself and the sessions increased my self awareness and reflection which enabled me to make positive changes in my life. It is clear Emer is passionate about coaching and this comes across in the sessions with her. Jenna B. - LifeCoaching
“Hi Emer, I hope you’re well.. Just a quick message to say thanks for all your support and great treatments before Christmas. Despite my resolution that not having another one would be totally fine.... I’m 13 weeks pregnant:) and delighted naturally. Hubby thought we should give it one more try in January, and hey presto ! Thanks again, I’m positive the acupuncture and being able to talk about it helped a lot. Sure I’ll bump into you soon, and will most likely need a treatment in the coming months as the bump grows bigger ;) xx ”

Hi Emer,
Just to say re my cycle - time lines the same re period but – very noticably way lower stress levels, way lower pms – didn’t get tender boobs, didn’t get the horrible pains in my legs, only got small cramping . not feeling low or anxious before my period.
Fertility Acupucture & Coaching
Went I started with Emer, The initially reason I booked my appointment was as a boost when TTC however I had pain/pressure on my hips and headaches which I just assume I’d have to ‘get over it’ after being to the doctor..Emer’s care has changed my day to day life. My head aches or hip pain have reduced to very minimal discomfort after 3sessions. Her advice and presence is priceless. Thank you Emer

Dear Emer,
I am so grateful to you for being my coach in these past few months. Our conversations have been so insightful and I found myself to be totally able to trust you.
Your presence and the ability to help me experience spaciousness and belief in myself has had such a tremendous impact on me.
I felt that you were able to lead me to places and see my choices more clearly and in a positive way.
A heartfelt thank you and best wishes as you continue to support and show the light to many others like me.
Warm Regards. M
Dep Coaching Review
Morning Emer, I can’t find the words to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for telling me to rest. I wouldn’t have taken time for myself if it wasn’t for your healing guidance. I’m slowly starting to feel like myself again. I’m so grateful for the space you hold and those magical needles of yours.

“Hello Emer, Al arrived on Monday night at 21:30, after induction at 10am that morning. He’s fab and we’re in love with him. Labour was quick to come and tough through to delivery. But delivery was short enough and no major trauma apart from a few ‘below’tears. Am sure your skills played a big role in all of the above, so thank you for everything! I met a woman who was induced at the same time as me, still having Labour pains as I was wheeled to my room at midnight with Al. I’m glad we took the week to try everything. Chat Soon.”

“Just a quick note to say how amazing Emer is. This Lady does make miracles!! Started seeing Emer at the beginning of the year for fertility acupuncture. With her help & support, miraculously 3months later we got pregnant :) Thank you x I am seeing Emer on a regular basis since & she helped me to combat pregnancy nausea, inflamed sinuses & even horrible pregnancy rash!!! I was waking up at night in agony for the last few weeks wanting to peel my skin off but with her help (few needles & a few ear pricks :)) I finally slept through the night.. Thank you Emer! You do know how to make miracles..”

“Roughly 2 years ago I met Emer and started my journey with acupuncture, I had been through a rough time having been diagnosed with PTSD following a car accident and then suffering a miscarriage which all led to extreme anxiety . Myself and my partner were on a journey to try conceive again but I knew I needed to deal with my anxiety and that’s what led me to try accupuncture. I regularly attended with Emer and along with a few sessions of CBT I got my anxiety in check, both helped me to make some positive changes to my life. Once I felt back to myself my journey to conceive began unfortunately it was not as simple as I hoped.. following a trial on Clomid I then went to start the IVF process all the while I was still having accupuncture, Emer advised on diet and supplements and also how to take care of myself to encourage conception. I regularly attended with Emer because it was my hour to look after myself and bring myself “together” as well as help with conceiving. Roll on to Christmas 2017 and just before I was to begin the IVF process I found out I was pregnant. During the 9 months I kept attending accupuncture because it kept me centred but also the support from Emer reduced my worry and fear of miscarrying ... emotionally I was in a fantastic place again due to my accupuncture and finally having baby Fionàn!! I’ve mentally been in a great place afterwards. I cannot recommend Emer and accupuncture enough... I’m throughly grateful to Emer and I couldn’t have shared this whole experience with anyone better. 🥀 Forever grateful Emer L.”
I went to see Emer today with a problem with the left side of my neck and shoulder. She concentrated on energy flowing through my body as she kneads and releases tight muscles. I have to say, the freedom in my shoulder now is amazing. I highly recommend her. Thank you Emer. - EMMA O’TOOLE
“I started going to Emer in 2016 for fertility acupuncture after my partner and I had failed to have a successful pregnancy after 2 years. Emer was very sensitive to our situation and kept in regular contact with us between sessions to see how we were getting on. After nearly 4 months of regular visits we were delighted to find out that I was pregnant! We now have a beautiful, healthy 5 week old boy. Thank you Emer for helping us on our journey to become parents.”

“I came to Emer for the whole body massage as I needed to deeply relax my body. I had massage with her before so I knew that she delivers massage the way I love it. In any body treatment I need facilitator who takes care of my physical body in a very gentle, caring and nurturing way and Emer is exactly that person. She has an amazing ability to make me feel safe and comfortable which allows me to open up and release the tension. She is very attuned to the person and her touch is so healing. I felt blissful peace and calmness after each massage with her.”

“I had two sessions of acupuncture with Emer very recently as I could feel a chest infection starting. I would expect to be on anti-biotics by now but so far so good and no trip to the doctor! Thanks a million. ”
