5NP
1 : 1 or small group auricular acupuncture treatment targeting five points in each ear, that calms the nervous system, eases stress, restores balance
Our nervous systems often hold more than words can access. When stress and overwhelm accumulate, the body needs a deeper form of support. 5NP is a highly effective auricular acupuncture treatment that allows your system to resettle, restore, and rebalance.
the heart of it
treatment
5-Needle Protocol (5NP) is a specialized form of auricular (ear) acupuncture that involves placing five thin, sterile, single-use needles in each ear.
Once the treatment is administered, you’ll rest quietly for approximately 20–45 minutes, allowing the nervous system to settle and integrate.
benefit
5NP offers a powerful, non-verbal approach to nervous system regulation and restoration.
Many people experience increased calm, improved sleep, reduced anxiety and agitation, relief from stress and trauma, and an easier ability to engage with other healing or well-being practices.
This modality can also support reduced cravings related to alcohol, nicotine, or other substances.
investment
Sessions are $45 for about a half hour, offered in person in Roanoke, VA, at a location of your choice, for individuals or small groups (up to 5 people).
If you’d like to include a yoga class prior to your treatment, for yourself or your group, combined Yoga + 5NP sessions are $120 for 90 minutes. Additional $15 for renting local yoga studio space.
For larger groups (6+), pricing is determined collaboratively based on group size and location.
