Acupuncture & Wellbeing

Welcome to Acupuncture & Wellbeing

Hi, I'm Deanna Thomas, I am fully qualified and accredited Acupuncturist (BSc Hons) , Reflexologist (VTCT), Aromatherapist, Meditation Instructor and Reiki Master Teacher. I am also a member of the British Acupuncture Council and the Uk Reiki Federation.

My clinic is located in Acklam, Middlesbrough. My holistic health and wellness journey began nearly 20 years ago when I embarked on a Reiki training course and enrolled in a local college course to train as a Reflexologist. Practising Reflexology inspired me to study and train as an Acupuncturist at the prestigious Northern College of Acupuncture in York.

I am dedicated to providing a safe and high-quality level of care for all of my patients. I want to support you and empower you with your health and wellbeing to help improve your quality of life through Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and the range of holistic therapies and treatments that I offer. 


Improve your wellbeing with Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves inserting very fine needles into various acupuncture points on the body. This small action can trigger a cascade of effects from increasing endorphins to boosting immune functioning to releasing anti-inflammatories (important in reducing swelling and supporting healing).
This holistic approach to health and wellness promotes the body's natural healing response. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management, fertility, boosting immunity and easing pain. prices start from £60 for a single session and £250 for a package of six.

EFT Aromapressure

I am very privileged to be one of the few therapists offering doTERRA Emotional Aromatherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) in the Teesside Area.

EFT Aromapressure Practitioner EFT (Emotional Healing Technique), incorporates Acupressure techniques with Left & Right brain balancing. Essential Oils use the Power of Plant Therapy to work on imbalances within our bodies & minds. EFT is a healing therapy that offers healing from physical and emotional pain. It works by releasing emotional blockages within the body's energy system. 

This is done through tapping with the fingers on our energy meridians (located around the head and upper body) whilst focusing on the emotional stresses the individual is experiencing.

Reiki is a non-invasive complementary therapy said to use natural energy flow for health and wellbeing.  Reiki can be defined as 'Universal Life Energy', which describes the many systems of natural balancing.

Battlefield Acupuncture

Battlefield Acupuncture was created by Dr. Richard Niemtzow while on active duty in the United States Air Force in 2001. Dr. Niemtzow discovered that a very specific sequence of needles inserted into the ears would provide rapid and highly effective relief of many types of pain.
This treatment protocol may be for you if you would like a natural way to manage pain.

TCM Acupuncture

acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management, boosting immunity and easing pain.

acupuncture treatments may also include the use of moxa, massage, cupping and ear seeds.
I specialize in body & auricular acupuncture.

Chakra healing

This is an incredibly relaxing treatment incorporating Crystal Healing, the power of Colour Therapy and Acupuncture. The human body contains hundreds of acupuncture points, and the chakras are seven of the most significant.

You will have ten fine acupuncture needles inserted into your hands, arms, and legs. The points I have chosen are known for helping the body heal and rebalance.

auricular therapy is also included in this treatment along with sound healing & aromatherapy.

Weight loss Acupuncture

In recent years, acupuncture ear therapy (also known as auricular acupuncture) for weight loss has received much attention after several studies that showed significant weight loss following ear therapy. The ear is one of the densest areas on the body for nerve endings linked all over the body. Acupuncture can help with weight loss by regulating hormone production, improving metabolism, optimizing digestion, reducing inflammation, suppressing the appetite, lessening water retention and optimizing other bodily functions related to obesity and weight loss. As with any weight-loss strategy, a single change in your lifestyle or behaviour will not likely deliver the results you want. Even though acupuncture can effectively alter your metabolic and hormone levels and address numerous issues related to weight loss, you should still compliment this treatment with the proper diet and regular exercise.
