BookOur approach
Healing is a rhythm, not a race.
Acupuncture works cumulatively. Each session builds on the last, which is why the real change tends to come from a steady course of care rather than a one-off visit.
That is the thinking behind our packages. They are not about locking you in. They are about giving your body the consistency it responds best to, at a price that rewards you for committing to your own healing.
You are not broken. Your symptoms make sense. And you do not have to navigate this alone.
What every first visit includes
More than a treatment. A proper look at what is really going on.
✓
In-depth consultation. Your health history, what is happening now, and where you want to get to.
✓
Pulse & tongue diagnosis. Reading your body the traditional way, so your plan fits you.
✓
AcuGraph energy scan where it helps. Where clinically useful, a scan of your channels shows where you are balanced and where you need support.
✓
Your first treatment. Around 20 to 30 minutes of needle time, the window where the work happens.
✓
Supporting therapies where they help. Cupping, moxibustion, heat therapy or ear seeds.
✓
Clear aftercare. You leave knowing exactly what comes next, never guessing.
Never had acupuncture?
What to expect
If it is all new to you, that is completely normal. Here is what most first-timers want to know.
Does it hurt?
Most people are surprised by how gentle it is. The needles are very fine, far thinner than the ones you are picturing. You might feel a small tap or a dull ache that settles in seconds, and often nothing at all.
What does it feel like?
Deeply relaxing, usually. Once the needles are in, you rest quietly for 20 to 30 minutes with soft music. People often describe feeling heavy, floaty or calm, and some drift off to sleep.
Is it safe?
Yes. We use single-use, sterile needles and work to professional standards. We also work alongside your GP and any fertility or medical team, never instead of them.

Packages & Courses
Real change comes from consistency, not one-off visits. A package gives you steady, well-timed care, priority booking so your appointment is always there, and a plan committed to where you want to get to. It costs less per session, too. Fertility packages lead the way below, then acupuncture courses, memberships and signature bundles.
New to the clinic? You do not have to choose a package now. Book a first consultation and we will map out what is right for you, session by session or as a package.

What clients say
★★★★★
I'd never had acupuncture before, but I was struggling with poor sleep, anxiety, stress and headaches. Deanna took the time to understand my history and made me feel completely at ease. By the end of the session my headache had gone, and that night I slept so much better.
Janine McCall · Sleep, anxiety & headaches
★★★★★
Deanna is so patient, she listens and sorts a plan to help. She provides a thorough plan and cost so you know how many sessions it may take. I found her flexible too. I felt really unwell six weeks ago, but she has really helped me feel better.
Janet Merser · Google Local Guide
★★★★★
A wonderful professional experience from start to finish. I had six sessions with Anthony, always felt relaxed and, just as important, always felt listened to. I do believe I have benefited from my treatment and would certainly return.
Rachel Scott · Six sessions with Anthony
★★★★★
Deanna's acupuncture was amazing. She took the time to sit down, talk to me, take notes and explain everything. Definitely the service you need when trying to relax. Can't thank her enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you are working with. Because acupuncture works cumulatively, most people are recommended a short course rather than a single session. For fertility we often work in line with the roughly 90-day window that eggs and sperm take to mature, which is why the packages run over three to four months. You will always leave your first visit with a clear plan.
Can I spread the cost of a package?
Yes. Packages can be paid in full at £999, or split into four payments of £249.75 so the cost is easier to plan around. For IVF preparation with a shorter runway, you can also choose £249.75 a month for a block of four sessions.
What makes a package better value than paying per session?
The value is not only the lower price per session, though packages do cost less. It is the consistency of a proper course of care, which is where lasting change comes from, priority booking so your appointments are always secured around your schedule, and a shared commitment to the outcome you are working towards. As one example, our sixteen-session fertility package is £999 rather than £1,200 paid session by session, and also includes support between visits such as tracking, lifestyle and supplement guidance.
What's the difference between general and fertility acupuncture, and why does it cost more?
Fertility acupuncture is a specialist service, not a standard session with a higher price on it. It draws on additional reproductive training, a much deeper consultation covering your cycle, hormones and any IVF or medical treatment, and sessions timed carefully to your cycle and key fertility milestones. You also get our wider fertility toolbox between visits, from cycle tracking to nutrition and emotional support. The needles may be the same. The training, the planning and the responsibility behind them are not.
Do I have to commit to a package straight away?
Not at all. Every package begins with a consultation so we understand your full picture first. If a package is not the right fit for you, we will tell you. You are always welcome to pay as you go.
What is your payment and cancellation policy?
We ask for full payment upfront to secure your appointment time. We have a 48-hour cancellation policy, and no-shows or last-minute cancellations are charged in full, because that time was held just for you and cannot be offered to someone else at short notice.
Can I give my appointment or package to someone else?
Appointments and package sessions are personal to you and cannot be transferred to another person. Your treatment plan is built around your health and history, so it would not be safe or appropriate for someone else to use it. If you would like to treat someone, a gift voucher is the perfect way to do that.
The time I want isn't showing. What can I do?
Join the waiting list on Fresha and we will let you know if a slot opens up that suits you. It is the easiest way to be first to hear about a cancellation.
How do I pay for a package?
Packages are paid for in full upfront. We accept cash, card or bank transfer. Some packages, such as the fertility programme, can also be split into monthly instalments to make the cost easier to plan around.
Can I claim my treatment back on health insurance?
Some clients are able to claim the cost back through private health insurance or a healthcare cash plan. You would pay for your treatment as usual and then claim it back yourself. We are not able to bill or deal with insurers directly, so please check what your policy covers before booking.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes. Gift vouchers are available for any treatment or package and can be bought online at any time. A lovely way to give someone the gift of calm.
Where are you based?
The House, 283 Acklam Road, Middlesbrough, TS5 7BP. We welcome clients from across Teesside, including Yarm, Ingleby Barwick, Marton and Stockton-on-Tees.
