Neuro Emotional Technique (NET)
Using the Mind-Body Connection
to Unlock Your Healing Potential
Stop letting unresolved stress rule your health.
What is N.E.T.?
Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) combines elements of traditional Chinese medicine and other holistic practices, and is based on the idea that unresolved emotional stress can contribute to physical ailments, including headaches, muscle tension, and other health issues. Some studies have even shown that NET can help resolve cancer trauma, lower back pain, and more.
Indeed, several resources, including NETmindbody and the documentary Stressed on Gaia, validate NET as a powerful tool that allows us to check in with the body to see what it needs and wants to heal—it’s essentially a resetting of the nervous-system.
By addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of health, NET treats the whole person, not just isolated symptoms, and gives you back the control on your journey toward long-term healing.
Effective
NET is a powerful and versatile treatment option for many common ailments, including cancer trauma, lower back pain, negative mental health patterns, chronic conditions, and more.
Personal
As with the rest of our functional medicine tools, our focus is always you. With NET, we take the time to understand your unique situation, then begin working on only that which is ready to heal.
Holistic
Because the mind-body connection serves as the foundation of NET, we often find that clearing emotional stressors paves the way for our patients’ healing on all fronts, not just at the level of their symptoms.
How Does NET Work?
The Mind-Body
Connection Explained
The mind-body connection is the concept that our thoughts, emotions, and mental state can significantly influence our physical state. Understanding this connection is crucial for holistic health, as emotions like stress, anxiety, and unresolved trauma can manifest as physical symptoms like muscle tension, pain, or digestive issues.
Understanding
Muscle Testing
Muscle testing is a biofeedback technique we use in NET to identify emotional stressors. By applying gentle pressure to a muscle, we can assess its response and determine areas of stress or imbalance. While muscle testing may seem odd at first, this science-backed and non-invasive method offers a way for us to pinpoint unresolved emotions that may be affecting the body.
The Science
Behind NET
At its core, NET is based on the understanding that emotional stress can affect the body physically. When emotions are not fully processed—whether from smaller, childhood traumas or major negative life events—they can manifest as physical symptoms such as pain or tension. By using NET, we can help you identify and release these emotional stressors, thereby experiencing relief from their related physical symptoms.
Client Testimonial
“I tried NET for the first time yesterday and was blown away… it’s like shining a flashlight into a cave you’ve been really afraid of looking into — but feeling very supported while you uncover and explore things you may not have been aware existed. Throughout the session, I could feel myself finding my way back to my own agency and power — poignantly in areas that I’d held feelings of shame or self-doubt. I felt 100 pounds lighter emotionally and had some really profound and powerful insights during the session… 11/10 recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
NET can be right for individuals experiencing chronic pain, anxiety, stress, or other health issues that may have an emotional component.
While the number of sessions can vary widely from patient to patient, based on the level of emotional release they need, we find that many patients find lasting relief within a month of weekly NET sessions.
Most people do not experience any side-effects; however, some individuals may feel a temporary increase in emotional or physical sensations as their body processes and releases stored emotions. These sensations are usually short-lived and can be part of the healing process.
Yes! We teach a self-care technique called FAST that allows you to access some of the same benefits NET offers when you’re not in our office. Eventually, most patients actually find that this technique is sufficient for processing emotions on their own, and only return for another NET session when they’ve had an increase in stress.
Client Testimonial
“NET with Lauren blew my mind. I have had chronic neck and shoulder pain for years and got more relief in one session with her than I have with years of therapeutic massage and other physical therapies. It felt like such a comfortable and safe space to explore and process stored emotions. Will definitely continue to use NET as an effective tool for my physical and emotional needs.”
