NET sessions are calm, gentle and collaborative.

You will remain fully clothed and supported throughout the session.

Using muscle testing, we identify stress responses and unresolved emotional patterns being held within the nervous system and body. Once identified, gentle correction techniques are used to help the body process and release these responses safely.

Many people describe feeling:

• Emotionally lighter

• Deeply relaxed

• More grounded and calm

• Clearer mentally

• More connected to themselves

Some people notice shifts immediately, while for others the changes unfold gradually over the following days as the nervous system integrates what it is ready for.

Sessions may be offered as a standalone treatment or integrated alongside acupuncture depending on your individual needs.

At Wild Heart Acupuncture, we believe healing involves caring for both the physical and emotional body.

Acupuncture supports the physical body, nervous system regulation and energetic balance, while NET works with the emotional and neurological patterns that may be contributing to symptoms beneath the surface.

Together, they create a more integrated, whole-person approach to healing — especially when stress, emotional load or nervous system dysregulation are playing a role in your health.

This combination can support deeper, longer-lasting shifts within both body and mind.

NET may be a great fit if you:

• Feel stuck despite trying multiple approaches

• Know stress is affecting your body but aren’t sure how to shift it

• Feel emotionally overloaded or burnt out

• Want a gentle, non-talk-heavy approach to emotional healing

• Experience anxiety, nervous system dysregulation or emotional fatigue

• Are navigating motherhood, hormonal changes or perimenopause

• Have ongoing physical symptoms linked to stress

• Want to feel calmer, lighter and more like yourself again

If you’re unsure whether NET is right for you, you’re welcome to reach out for a conversation.

NET is a gentle, non-invasive approach that may also support children and teenagers experiencing stress, emotional overwhelm or nervous system dysregulation.

Children often process stress through the body rather than words, which can sometimes show up as:

• Anxiety or worry

• Emotional outbursts or sensitivity

• Sleep difficulties

• Stress-related tummy aches or tension

• School stress and overwhelm

• Difficulty regulating emotions

• Behavioural changes

• Big life transitions or family changes

Sessions are adapted to suit each child’s age, comfort level and individual needs, with a calm, supportive and age-appropriate approach focused on helping children feel safe, regulated and emotionally supported.

At Wild Heart Acupuncture, we aim to create a nurturing environment where both children and parents feel supported throughout the process.

No. NET is not psychotherapy, counselling, or psychology. It is a complementary technique focused on the connection between emotional stress and physical responses in the body. While emotions may come up during a session, the process is generally gentle, structured, and body-based rather than talk-therapy based.

No. NET does not require you to relive or retell traumatic events in detail. Sessions are designed to be gentle and supportive. The focus is on helping the body process unresolved stress patterns safely, without needing to revisit painful memories extensively.

This varies from person to person. Some people notice shifts after just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing care depending on the complexity and duration of their concerns. Your treatment plan will always be individualised.

Many people seek NET support for physical symptoms that may worsen during times of stress or emotional strain. NET works from the understanding that unresolved stress can influence how the body functions and responds.

Yes. NET is designed to complement, not replace, medical or mental health care. Many people use NET alongside psychology, physiotherapy, acupuncture, GP care, or other allied health support.

While acupuncture primarily works through the body’s energetic and physiological systems, NET specifically focuses on unresolved stress and emotional patterns that may be impacting physical or emotional wellbeing. NET can be used on its own or integrated into acupuncture sessions.

Most people describe sessions as calming, insightful, or emotionally relieving. Occasionally emotions may surface during a session, but the process is intended to feel safe and supported.
