You are not alone in this
If you've been told "everything looks normal" — and yet nothing feels fine
You've tracked your cycle. You've taken the supplements. You've attended the appointments. You've done everything right. And yet here you are, still searching for answers.
I want you to know: you are not broken. Your body is not failing you. And you don't have to keep navigating this alone.
Women travel from Hartlepool, Billingham, Seaham, and across the TS24 and TS25 areas to visit our clinic in Middlesbrough — because what they find here is something they haven't been able to find elsewhere: unhurried time, genuine expertise, and the feeling of truly being seen. You can find out more about our fertility acupuncture services here.
Healing is a rhythm. Not a race. And it begins with feeling safe.
★★★★★
"I came to Deanna after two failed IVF cycles feeling completely broken. From the very first session I felt genuinely heard and cared for. She explained everything clearly, took the time to understand my full picture, and I never felt rushed. I honestly believe she played a huge part in our success."
— Emma, Hartlepool
What acupuncture can support
Specialist fertility care for your unique journey
Every woman who comes through our door arrives with a different story. Acupuncture isn't one-size-fits-all — and neither is the support we offer.
🌿 Natural Conception Support
Cycle-aware treatment to regulate hormones, improve uterine blood flow, and create the internal conditions your body needs to thrive.
🌿 IVF & Assisted Conception
Structured protocols before, during, and after your IVF cycle — designed to support egg quality, reduce stress, and optimise implantation conditions.
🌿 Unexplained Infertility
When the tests come back "normal" but something still isn't right. We look at the full picture — not just your numbers.
🌿 PCOS & Hormonal Imbalance
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine offer a deeply personalised approach to regulating cycles disrupted by PCOS or hormonal imbalance.
🌿 Endometriosis Support
Complementary care to ease pain, reduce inflammation, and support your wellbeing alongside medical management.
🌿 Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Compassionate, specialist support after miscarriage or recurrent loss — addressing both the physical and emotional dimensions with great care.
🌿 Fertility Stress & Burnout
The emotional weight of a fertility journey is real. Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system so your body stops bracing — and starts healing.
🌿 Perimenopause & Menopause
Holistic support through hormonal transition — addressing sleep, mood, hot flushes, and wellbeing during this important chapter.
🌿 Couples Fertility Support
Fertility is never a solo journey. We welcome couples and offer tailored support for both partners where appropriate.
Our approach
Whole-person fertility care — not just needles
Acupuncture is at the heart of what we do, but it's never the whole story. Every treatment plan is built around you — your cycle, your history, your emotional wellbeing, and your goals.
We draw on acupuncture, cycle awareness coaching, and lifestyle guidance — combining ancient Chinese Medicine wisdom with modern evidence-informed practice. Nothing is off the shelf. Everything is tailored.

Your questions answered
Frequently asked questions
How far is the clinic from Hartlepool?
The clinic is located at The House, 283 Acklam Road, Middlesbrough — approximately 22 minutes from Hartlepool via the A689 and A19. There is free parking available on site. Most clients find the drive straightforward and the session well worth the journey.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your situation. As a general guide, a course of 6–12 weekly sessions is typically recommended to see meaningful change. We always begin with a full consultation so I can give you a much more personalised picture before we commit to anything.
Can acupuncture help if I'm already doing IVF?
Yes — acupuncture is most commonly used alongside IVF, not instead of it. Evidence suggests it may support uterine blood flow, reduce stress hormones, and support the body during the stimulation phase. I work collaboratively with IVF clinics and will never advise against medical treatment.
What is the difference between a PAYG session and The Natural Fertility Programme™?
A PAYG (pay-as-you-go) session at £75 gives you access to individual acupuncture treatments on a flexible basis. The Natural Fertility Programme™ at £999 is a full 16-week structured pathway combining acupuncture, cycle awareness coaching, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing support — designed for clients who are ready to commit to a deeper, more consistent programme. Your initial consultation is £99 and includes a full 75-minute assessment.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most clients are surprised by how gentle the experience is. The needles are very fine — much finer than an injection needle — and the sensation is typically described as a mild heaviness or tingling. Many clients find the sessions deeply relaxing, and some fall asleep on the table.
I've been trying for a long time. Is it too late?
This is one of the most common questions I hear — and one of the most important ones to answer carefully. The honest answer is: it depends on your specific picture. What I can say with confidence is that acupuncture is not just about outcomes — it's about creating the best possible internal environment, supporting your wellbeing, and ensuring that you feel genuinely supported throughout this journey, whatever it holds. I would never promise what I cannot guarantee. But I will always bring the full depth of my training and care to every person I work with.
Ready to feel genuinely supported on your fertility journey?
You don't have to keep navigating this alone. A consultation is simply a conversation — no pressure, no commitment, just an unhurried space to be heard.
