Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture
Acu-Release & Restore
Discover the calming power of ear acupuncture through Acu-Release & Restore, a monthly group session designed to help you release tension, restore balance, and reconnect with your body.
​
What is Ear Acupuncture (5NP)?
Ear acupuncture, also known as the 5-Point NADA Protocol (5NP), is a simple and gentle technique that uses five specific points on the ear to promote relaxation and balance. Originally developed to support recovery, this protocol has been widely recognized for its ability to reduce stress, calm the mind, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
​
How It Supports Your Vagus Nerve and Nervous System
The Vagus Nerve plays a crucial role in regulating your nervous system and maintaining a sense of calm and safety in the body. By stimulating key points on the ear, ear acupuncture activates the parasympathetic nervous system.
​
Benefits include:
-
Grounding the nervous system: Helps shift from states of stress or overwhelm to calm and ease.
-
Supporting trauma healing: Complements somatic practices to promote deeper emotional regulation.
-
Enhancing Vagus Nerve function: Improves resilience and your capacity to cope with life’s challenges.​
