Acupuncture & Integrative Wellbeing in York
Supporting your physical and emotional wellbeing with acupuncture, embodied practices and a truly individual approach.
I’m Nicky Thomas, a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine with over 25 years’ experience. I offer a gentle, holistic approach to acupuncture, taking time to listen to the whole person and understand the physical, emotional and energetic factors that may be contributing to how you feel.
My work is particularly informed by the connection between body and mind, and by the ways in which stress, pain, illness and life experiences can affect our sense of wellbeing.
Alongside acupuncture, my training in counselling, somatic approaches, trauma awareness, hypnotherapy, yoga and Qi Gong allows me to draw on a broader range of perspectives when supporting you.
Whether you are seeking help with pain, hormonal health, stress, fatigue, sleep or simply feel that your body and wellbeing are no longer quite where you would like them to be, we can explore together what might be helpful for you.

Did you know?
Pain Management
Acupuncture is widely known for its effectiveness in the treatment of pain. Its unique role in reducing suffering in patients experiencing pain is one of the main reasons it has become so popular around the world. The research is plentiful on the effects of acupuncture on specific painful conditions. Acupuncture has developed an established reputation for offering a safe and effective option in the treatment of acute and chronic pain.
Stress & Anxiety
According to the most up to date evidence, acupuncture is an effective treatment for anxiety. Acupuncture has been shown to improve the body’s ability to cope with stress. One of the ways that it does this is by increasing the release of endorphins, the body’s own ‘feel-good’ chemicals, which play an important role in the regulation of physical and emotional stress and anxiety responses.
Women's Health
Acupuncture has a long history of treating gynaecological problems, such as menstrual pain or infertility. A well-functioning reproductive system, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, should pass without too much pain or a particularly heavy flow.
