One of the most commonly asked questions...
What is NET?
The Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) is a mind-body stress tool that is used to help reduce emotional stress and triggers. By using manual muscle testing, we are able to discover where the stress is located in the body, what the emotional stress is concerning and help you process and release the stress in session.
