What is NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)?
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a methodology and collection of techniques that emerged in the 1970s, utilizing language to influence our perceptions and allowing us to access and reshape memories and thought patterns.
NLP can assist in healing of Emotional Trauma and fostering new behaviors and mindsets, leading to a more positive outlook on life.
NLP is offered Remotly via Zoom or in person, in my Kelowna Clinic.
About Us
With over 17 years of experience, Natanel (Nir) believes that acupuncture should be as gentle as it is effective.
By pairing precise palpation with the use of ultra-fine needles, he creates a therapeutic effect that calms the nervous system while addressing the root of the issue.
Whether using time-tested classical styles or newer specialized techniques, Natanel’s goal is always the same: providing personalized care that meets you exactly where you are.
With a rich background in manual therapies—including Shiatsu, Tuina, and a year of Osteopathy—Natanel brings exceptional palpation skills to his practice. These skills are vital for the specialized Japanese acupuncture styles he utilizes, such as Japanese abdominal diagnosis, to accurately assess a client’s condition.
Natanel employs a constitutional approach, rooted in the belief that true healing occurs only when the body’s internal systems are returned to a state of harmony and balance.
He views the body as a tree: when the roots are undernourished or unhealthy, the vitality of the entire tree suffers. To ensure the branches flourish, we must first nurture the roots.
When we address the deeper aspects of the self—the internal organs and the emotions—healing becomes more than just a reduction in symptoms; it becomes a transformation.
This systemic approach allows Natanel to help clients navigate everything from chronic pain and digestive issues to emotional stress and sleep disturbances. By encouraging the body’s natural ability to self-regulate, acupuncture serves as a catalyst for health promotion and personal growth, helping you live a more balanced and aware life.
Acupuncture Treatment Approach:
Acupuncture is rooted in Daoist observations of nature, applying the metaphors of natural cycles to the human body, psyche, and nervous system. It views the body as a closed "Qi" system where an imbalance in one area affects the whole.
-
Physical: Ultra-fine needles stimulate physical structures to create a response in the nervous system and brain, promoting systemic self-regulation, muscle relaxation, and pain reduction.
-
Mental/Emotional: The treatment creates a "sense of spaciousness," allowing the mind to move out of overwhelm. This helps process repressed emotional information and clears Qi Stagnation (Stuck Life Force).
-
Spiritual (Shen): For chronic imbalances that resist physical treatment, acupuncture aims to addresses the "Spirit Level / Shen" to facilitate deep, foundational healing.

A Holistic Approach
Because the body’s energy system is in a closed loop, an imbalance in one internal organ system eventually affects the whole body. If a specific issue persists despite consistent attempts to regulate, it suggests that the root of the problem lies deeper than the physical or surface stress.
This is where we look toward the 'Shen Level' of healing. By treating the Shen / Spirit level in the person, we address the most fundamental aspect of a person’s vitality. This profound approach can help with deep-seated conditions, helping the body overcome what it preventing it from healing and find a sustainable path back to harmony.
Emotional Trauma usually creates an injury that is on the 'Spirit / Shen' level.
"He who treats the body without treating the soul is like a man who repairs a house but ignores the fire burning within."
– Attributed to Traditional Wisdom
The Connection Between Emotions and Health
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), chronic stress and suppressed emotions are often considered as "root causes" of physical illness. These emotional blockages disrupt the flow of Qi (life force), preventing it from properly nourishing your internal organs and maintaining systemic health.
Acupuncture is exceptionally effective at resolving conditions rooted in nervous system dysregulation. By balancing and healing these emotional layers, we free up your body’s vital resources, allowing for a more profound and lasting recovery.
Emotions Vs. Internal Organ Energetics (According to Chinese Medicine)
-
Anger & Frustration injure the Liver / Gall Bladder ( sides of the body, joints)
-
Overstimulation & over joy, injure the Heart ( cardiac, dizziness, emotional dysregulation)
-
Worry & Pensiveness injure the Spleen. (digestion, fatigue, sugar metabolism, muscles)
-
Sadness & Grief injure the Lungs. (skin, constipation, asthma)
-
Fear & Fright injure the Kidneys. ( lower back pain, bone pain, adrenal fatigue)
The Physical Manifestation of Stress:
Chronic tension is often the body’s way of holding onto unresolved stress or emotional events. You may experience this as:
-
Musculoskeletal Tension: Persistent neck and shoulder tightness, tension headaches, migraines, or chronic lower back pain—especially if these began following a stressful life event.
-
Digestive & Systemic Issues: "nervous stomach," acid reflux, chronic fatigue, or a general sense of depleted vitality.
-
Neurological & Circulatory Symptoms: Numbness, tingling, poor circulation, or chronic pain without a clear medical cause.
-
Emotional & Sleep Regulation: Chronic insomnia, "brain fog, worry," or feeling constantly reactive, easily triggered, and emotionally dysregulated.
Resolving what holds you back from healing
To Truly Heal requires looking beyond surface-level symptoms to address the underlying Root Cause. When painful emotional information is suppressed, it consumes internal resources that could otherwise be dedicated to recovery.
These unresolved emotions can limit the capacity of your body to heal, In cases of chronic pain or persistent illness, acupuncture alone may not be enough if the subconscious mind remains in a state of stress; lasting relief often requires accessing, healing and reframing that stored emotional information.
One of the effective way to reframe and heal emotional events is using NLP ( Neuro-Linguistic Programming) or other trauma related therapies.
