You can complete a brief online wellness check which will highlight possible areas of priority. You and your practitioner can then discuss your results. You can do that here: wellnesscheckonline.com↗.

The number of sessions varies from person to person and depends on your individual goals, overall health, and the concerns you would like to address.

If you are seeking support for a specific issue, some clinical studies of Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) have reported improvement after as few as 3–5 sessions for certain conditions. However, individual responses vary, and some people may benefit from additional sessions.

If you have multiple areas you would like to work on or choose to incorporate NET into your ongoing wellness routine, sessions may continue over a longer period of time. Together, we can periodically review your progress and determine a plan that best supports your goals.

Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) services are offered on a self-pay basis and are not billed to health insurance.

NET is a wellness-based, mind-body approach intended to support stress regulation and emotional well-being. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent medical or psychological conditions, and it is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Many practitioners working with mind-body approaches observe that most people may carry unresolved stress patterns in the body. While emotions are a natural and important part of life, lingering or "stuck" stress responses may contribute to difficulties in physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, or overall functioning.

In some cases, a stress response may not fully resolve at the time it occurs—particularly when the nervous system is overwhelmed or under significant strain. When this happens, elements of the stress response may persist in the body. NET focuses on identifying and releasing these unresolved patterns in a structured and supportive way.

No. NET is not a substitute for psychotherapy, counseling, psychiatry, or psychological analysis. It is a complementary approach that focuses on identifying and resolving physiological stress patterns in the body. When appropriate, referrals to mental health professionals are recommended. Some licensed therapists and healthcare providers incorporate NET into their broader clinical work.

NET is designed to help identify and address unresolved stress responses—sometimes referred to as "Neuro-Emotional Complexes"—that may be stored in the body and associated with ongoing physical or emotional patterns.

NET is used in a wide range of concerns where stress and emotional physiology may play a role. These may include:

• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Emotional reactivity or overwhelm
• Sleep disturbances
• Chronic pain or tension patterns
• Trauma-related stress responses
• Symptoms that have not fully responded to other approaches
• A general sense of feeling "stuck" emotionally or physically

NET is focused on addressing underlying stress patterns that may be contributing to these experiences.

NET is not talk therapy. A session typically involves gentle muscle testing, light contact with specific points on the body, and guided breathing. The process is generally non-invasive and is designed to be simple and supportive. Many people report feeling lighter, calmer, or more grounded afterward.

No. NET is considered "content-light," meaning detailed disclosure is not required for the process to work. The focus is on identifying the body's stress response rather than analyzing or revisiting the details of past events. You remain in control of what you choose to share.

Stressful experiences trigger physiological responses involving the nervous system and biochemistry. In some cases, if a stress response is not fully processed, the body may continue to exhibit a conditioned response pattern. This can contribute to ongoing tension, discomfort, or reactivity. NET aims to help reset these patterns so the body can return to a more balanced state.

Emotional stress is associated with measurable physiological responses in the nervous system. When these responses persist, they may contribute to patterns such as muscle tension, inflammation, or recurring discomfort. NET works with these conditioned responses to help reduce their ongoing impact on the body.

In some cases, practitioners may recommend supportive remedies as part of a broader integrative approach. These are intended to complement the body's natural recovery processes and support overall balance and well-being. Their use varies depending on practitioner style and client needs.

While NET may be used by practitioners with clients of various ages, my practice is currently focused on adults (18 years and older).
