The Clonmel Acupuncture Centre - Katie Murphy

I had the luxury of having Koo McDonnell Acupuncture come to me to treat my back this evening!! How lucky am I??!
One of the biggest reasons I’m so passionate about helping people with back pain is because of my own personal experience with it.
Having fractured my lumbar spine in my 20’s and prior to that suffering with sciatica for 3 years, I understand how debilitating it is.
My back has been misbehaving all week, and I’m very thankful my beautiful friend Koo came to the rescue this evening.
I know I’m going to sleep well this evening, I no longer have nerve pain in my leg 🙏💜

The clinic needed frankincense today… here’s why.

Some days you can feel the energy of the space before the first client even arrives. Today was one of those days, so the diffuser went straight on with frankincense and bitter orange essential oils.

Frankincense has long been known for its grounding, calming qualities. Its deep, resinous aroma helps slow busy minds, ease anxious energy and create a sense of stillness … exactly the atmosphere a treatment room needs.

Bitter orange adds a bright, gently uplifting note. It brings lightness to the blend, helping to lift mood, encourage emotional balance and soften tension without overwhelming the senses.

Together they create a beautifully balanced scent, calm yet uplifting, steady yet fresh. Perfect for supporting relaxation, deeper breathing and a moment of pause at the end of a busy week.

Sometimes the clinic just knows what it needs.

And today, it needed frankincense. ✨

👑 The Queen Energy Experience 👑

Facial Acupuncture • Heart-Centred Crystal Ankh • Queen Energy Oil • Immersive Sound Bath

I have been offering Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture since 2006, after training with Virginia Doran. Over the years, this has evolved into something far deeper than a skin treatment.

This is not about looking younger.
It is about remembering your radiance.
It is about reclaiming your beauty.
It is about embodying your Queen energy.

✨ Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Benefits

• Naturally softens fine lines
• Improves tone, texture and elasticity
• Stimulates collagen production
• Boosts circulation for a refined, healthy glow
• Reduces puffiness and fluid retention
• Lifts and tones facial muscles
• Supports hormonal balance
• Calms the nervous system
• Releases emotional tension held in the face
• Promotes deep relaxation and restorative sleep

👑 Queen Energy Facial Oil (Exclusive to this ritual)

My totally unique formulation is more than skincare — it is energetic nourishment and skin architecture in one.

• Deep hydration and luminosity
• Restores and strengthens the skin barrier
• Calms inflammation and sensitivity
• Supports energetic alignment
• Encourages confidence and self-worth

Your first session includes a full-sized bottle of Queen Energy Facial Oil (valued at €49) to continue your radiance ritual at home.

Because true luxury does not end when you leave the treatment room.

✨ The Crystal Ankh & Heart Activation

During the ritual, a crystal ankh …symbol of life and divine feminine power….is placed gently on your heart centre.

This sacred placement:

• Activates and harmonises the heart chakra
• Encourages emotional release and softness
• Supports deeper self-love
• Amplifies the rejuvenating effects of the acupuncture
• Anchors you into your own sacred power

All while you are immersed in a healing sound bath, allowing vibration to:

• Soothe and reset your nervous system
• Clear stagnant energy
• Deepen the treatment’s impact
• Elevate the experience into true transformation

This experience is for women who:

🌸 Want to glow — not chase youth
🌸 Want to soften into their power
🌸 Want to feel beautiful in every season
🌸 Want beauty that begins within

True radiance is not about turning back time.
It is about standing fully in who you are.

For pricing and waitlist information, please WhatsApp “Queen”. This treatment starts in May 2026 and has very limited availability. Please be patient when booking 🙏

✨ Today’s Diffuser Blend in the Clinic ✨

The beautiful aroma you’ll notice in the clinic today is a blend of lemongrass, geranium and juniper 🌿🌸🌲 — and I chose it very intentionally.

Here’s why I’m using this combination today:

🌱 Lemongrass – To help freshen and purify the space while bringing an uplifting, energising feel. It creates a clean, vibrant atmosphere the moment you walk in.

🌸 Geranium – For emotional balance and calm. It has a gently uplifting floral note that helps settle the nervous system and create a sense of harmony.

🌲 Juniper – To add a grounding, clarifying element. Juniper supports focus and gives the blend a steady, calming base — perfect for a therapeutic environment.

Together, this trio creates a space that feels fresh, balanced and supportive — ideal for relaxation, clarity and overall wellbeing during your session.

I love being able to use aromatics intentionally to enhance your experience in the clinic 💚

Let me know what you think of today’s blend!

💚💙 Crystal Spotlight: Malachite & Lapis Lazuli 💙💚
This week in the Clinic these two crystals were chosen the most… Lapis is always a popular crystal.

There is something truly magical about pairing Malachite and Lapis Lazuli….two ancient stones known for protection, wisdom and transformation.
💚 Malachite – The Stone of Transformation
Malachite has been used since the time of Ancient Egypt as a powerful protective talisman.
With its rich green swirls, this striking stone is believed to:
✨ Absorb negative energy
✨ Encourage deep emotional healing
✨ Support personal growth and positive change
✨ Strengthen the heart chakra

Malachite is often called the “stone of transformation” because it encourages you to step outside your comfort zone and embrace growth.

💙 Lapis Lazuli – The Stone of Wisdom and Truth

Famously adored by Cleopatra, Lapis Lazuli symbolises truth, intuition and inner power.

This deep blue beauty is believed to:
✨ Enhance communication
✨ Awaken intuition
✨ Promote mental clarity
✨ Encourage self-awareness

Associated with the throat and third eye chakras, Lapis helps you speak your truth with confidence and wisdom.

💚💙 Together, they create a powerful balance — Malachite grounds and transforms, while Lapis enlightens and empowers. A perfect duo for anyone stepping into their authentic self.
Are you drawn to green, blue… or both? 💫

🌿 Stressed, Tired, or “Wired but Tired”? 🌿

Chronic stress keeps many of us in high cortisol mode, leading to:
• Fatigue
• Anxiety
• Restless sleep
• Digestive issues
• Low mood— but your body can learn to rest again. ✨

In my sessions, I combine:

🌟 Acupuncture – gently balances your nervous system, reduces stress, improves circulation, and supports hormonal regulation
🎶 Tuning Forks & Singing Bowls – vibrations help release tension, stimulate acupoints, and guide the body into a calmer, more balanced rhythm
💎 Crystals – support energy flow and intention
🔥 Mineral Heat Lamp – warms the body and relaxes muscles
🔮 Oracle Cards – provide insight, reflection, and mindful guidance

Starting with the root and moving upward, this combination helps you feel:
🌱 Grounded
💛 Balanced
😌 Calm

Clients often notice:
✅ Deeper, easier breathing
✅ Warmth and lightness in the body
✅ Better sleep
✅ Relief from “wired but tired” sensations

💫 Give your nervous system the reset it deserves — calm isn’t just a feeling, it’s a choice. 💫
