NET is a body-oriented clinical technique, not counselling or psychotherapy. Rather than relying on extended conversation or psychological analysis, NET works with the body's physiological stress response using a structured, evidence-informed process. Many patients choose to use NET alongside therapy or counselling, and the two approaches often complement one another.

Yes — and this is one of my core strengths. Acupuncture addresses the physical body; NET addresses the nervous system patterns beneath it. Used together, we treat both layers simultaneously. Patients often see faster and more lasting results when the two are combined.

Yes. I offer initial NET consultations by phone or Zoom before your first in-person session. This gives you time to ask questions, share your history, and decide whether NET feels right — with no pressure to commit.

No. Unlike traditional talk therapy, NET does not require extensive discussion or revisiting past experiences in detail. The focus is on identifying the body's stress response to a specific event, emotion, or pattern using a structured, body-oriented process. Many patients appreciate that meaningful work can occur without lengthy conversations or emotional retelling.
