A gentle way to calm your nervous system – without having to talk

If you’re the kind of person who keeps going no matter how tired, overwhelmed, or stretched you feel…
This space is for you.

You might look “fine” on the outside.
You might be coping, working, caring for others, holding everything together.

But inside, your body feels wired. On edge. Tired but unable to fully switch off.

NADA ear acupuncture offers a quiet, body-based way to let your system soften and reset, without needing to explain, process, or relive anything.

This is nervous system support for people who don’t want to talk about it. Just breathe. Sit. Let your body settle.

If you’re searching for NADA acupuncture in Middlesbrough, auricular acupuncture for stress, or calming treatments near me, you’re in the right place.

You might recognise yourself here…

  • You’re carrying long-term stress, emotional load, or burnout

  • Your mind feels busy, but your body feels tense or exhausted

  • You struggle to properly switch off or rest

  • You’re “functioning” — but it doesn’t feel sustainable

  • Talking about how you feel feels like too much

  • You want support that feels calm, simple, and non-invasive

You don’t need to be in crisis to come.
You don’t need to have the right words.
You don’t need to explain your story.

This is a place to just be held and supported, quietly.

What is NADA ear acupuncture?

NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) is a gentle form of auricular acupuncture that uses five small points in the ear.

These points work together to support the nervous system,  helping the body shift out of “always on” mode and into a calmer, more regulated state.

In simple terms:
It gives your body a signal that it is safe to soften.

There’s no analysis.
No emotional digging.
No need to talk about what’s going on.

Your nervous system does the work.
You simply allow space for it to settle.

People often use NADA ear acupuncture in Middlesbrough for stress, emotional overwhelm, nervous system regulation, burnout, and to support recovery from long-term pressure.

WHAT A SESSION ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE

Sessions are one-to-one, calm, and unhurried.

You’ll be welcomed into a quiet, supportive space.
Tiny, sterile needles are gently placed into specific points on your ears.

Then you simply rest.

You can:

  • Sit or lie comfortably

  • Close your eyes

  • Breathe

  • Listen to soft music

  • Or just enjoy being still for a while

  • There is no pressure to talk. You don’t have to share anything personal. You don’t need to “do” anything.

Many people describe sessions as:

  • grounding

  • deeply calming

  • like their body finally lets out a breath it’s been holding

What changes people often notice
This isn’t about fixing you.
You’re not broken.
NADA supports your body’s natural ability to regulate itself. Over time, people often notice gentle shifts such as:
  • feeling calmer or more settled in their body
  • improved sleep or deeper rest
  • feeling less reactive or overwhelmed
  • a sense of emotional “space”
  • feeling more present or grounded
  • fewer physical stress symptoms (tight shoulders, jaw tension, restlessness)
  • Changes are often subtle at first.
  • This is about creating steadiness, not forcing transformation.

What to Expect From Your NADA Session

• You’ll be welcomed into a calm, private space where there’s no pressure to talk, explain, or perform. This is time for your nervous system to rest and settle.

• Five very fine, sterile needles are gently placed into specific points on the ear. Most people describe this as barely noticeable,  often more of a light sensation than a “needle feeling”.

• Once the points are in place, you’ll simply rest. You might sit or lie comfortably, breathe, close your eyes, or just allow your body a quiet pause.

• Sessions usually last around 45 minutes, giving your system enough time to soften and shift out of “always on” mode.

• NADA works best when your body is given consistency and space to adapt. Some people feel calmer after one session, while others notice deeper changes building gradually with regular support. If ongoing nervous system care feels helpful, supportive course options are available, always as a choice, never a pressure.

“Before trying NADA ear acupuncture, I’d been living with chronic pain and ongoing stress for a long time. I’d tried lots of things, but nothing ever seemed to create much lasting change. A friend suggested I give NADA a go at Deanna Thomas – Acupuncture & Wellbeing, and I’m really glad I did.

From the first session, I felt a noticeable sense of calm in my body, and over time the pain felt more manageable too. After completing a course of sessions, I’ve found I’m sleeping better, feeling less on edge, and more settled within myself. It hasn’t felt like a ‘quick fix’, but more like my body slowly remembering how to relax again.

I’d honestly recommend this to anyone who feels worn down by stress or tension and is looking for a gentle, supportive way to feel more balanced.”
