About Deanna Thomas

Teesside’s Leading Fertility & Women’s Health Acupuncturist

When you walk into my clinic, I want you to feel it straight away,  the calm, the welcome, the sense that you’re finally in a space where your whole self is seen, heard, and supported.

My journey into acupuncture began during one of the hardest chapters of my life. I was struggling with depression and infertility, feeling lost in my own body, and searching for anything that could help me feel hopeful again.

That’s when I found complementary therapies. Reiki was my first step. Then reflexology. Each one helped me feel a little more positive… a little more in control… a little more like me.

Those early experiences changed the direction of my life. They opened the door to acupuncture, a medicine where the mind and body are never separate, where emotional patterns shape physical health, and where energy, when it flows, allows the body to heal, and everything clicked.

Why I Do This Work

Supporting women through fertility struggles, menstrual challenges, perimenopause, and emotional overwhelm isn’t just what I do,  it’s who I am.

Nothing has shaped the way I practise more than the privilege of helping families grow. Every positive test. Every healthy cycle. Every moment of hope returning. It’s life-changing, for my clients and for me.

I’m married to Anthony, and together we have three children, something I once thought might never be possible.

That personal journey is why every client who sits with me is met with compassion, safety, and a deep understanding of what this path really feels like.

My Approach

My work blends:
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
  •  Degree-level acupuncture
  •  Fertility and women’s health specialisms
  •  NLP, IEMT, and emotional release methods
  •  Coaching, mindset support, and kinesiology foundations
  • Holistic therapies that nourish balance and restore vitality
I love learning,  it’s taken me down many pathways,  but my heart will always belong to acupuncture.
It has existed for thousands of years, stood the test of time, and continues to transform lives every single day.

My style is warm, intuitive, and rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern evidence. When we work together, you’re not just receiving a treatment, you’re receiving care for your whole self: mind, body, and spirit.
