In addition to Acupuncture, Natanel offers Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) sessions for emotional well-being. These sessions are available as a standalone service, or they can be seamlessly paired with your acupuncture treatments.

What is NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)?

Developed in the 1970s, NLP is a powerful methodology that uses the relationship between language, thought patterns, and behavior to shift our internal perceptions. It provides a safe, structured way to access and reshape subconscious memories, allowing you to heal from the inside out.

NLP can highly assist in:

  • Healing emotional trauma, PTSD, and CPTSD

  • Managing anxiety, depression, grief, and loss

  • Fostering empowering new behaviors and mindsets

  • Cultivating a resilient, positive outlook on life

 
Flexible Care Tailored to You

  • NLP Sessions: Offered both in-person at our Kelowna clinic or remotely via Zoom from the comfort of your home.

  • Acupuncture Sessions: Conducted in-person at our clinic

An Integrated Approach: While both modalities are incredibly effective on their own, they complement each other beautifully. Beginning with acupuncture is an excellent way to calm and regulate the nervous system, creating a grounded, secure physical foundation as preparation for the deeper, more subtle subconscious work of NLP.

About Us

Natanel (Nir) Saar, R.Ac, NLP Master Practitioner

Natanel believes that true healing happens when the treatment is as gentle as it is effective. Bringing 17 years of clinical experience to his practice, he specializes in a highly refined approach to acupuncture.

 

By combining precise palpation with ultra-fine needles, he calms an overworked nervous system while targeting the root cause of pain and imbalance.

 

His use of constitutional acupuncture optimizes internal organ systems, establishing the grounded physical foundation the body needs to heal.

To support his clients' emotional and mental well-being, Natanel integrates his expertise as an NLP Master Practitioner.

 

He provides a safe and accepting space for clients to access subconscious content, allowing them to gently heal emotional trauma, resolve long-standing triggers, and effectively manage complex mental health conditions.

Acupuncture Treatment Approach

Acupuncture is rooted in Daoist observations of nature, applying the laws of natural cycles to the human body, psyche, and nervous system. It views the body as an interconnected "Qi" system where an imbalance in one area impacts the whole.

By inserting ultra-fine needles, we stimulate specific physical structures to trigger a self-regulating response in the nervous system and brain. This treatment creates a profound sense of spaciousness and safety, allowing the mind to move out of overwhelm, release repressed emotional information, and clear Qi stagnation (stuck life force).

Clinical Benefits of Reharmonization

By shifting your nervous system out of a stress response and into a restorative state, acupuncture works to:

  • Reduce Pain & Tension: Lowers inflammation, increases circulation, and releases deep-held tension from muscles, joints, and tissue layers.

  • Regulate Internal Systems: Balances hormones, improves digestion, and restores healthy sleep cycles.

  • Deepen Healing Capacity: Expands breathing and enhances the body’s innate ability to self-repair.

 
A Holistic Approach to Healing

Because your body’s energy system is continuous, a lingering physical issue often points to a root cause that lies deeper than surface-level stress.

Emotional trauma frequently creates an injury on the Shen (Spirit) or subconscious level. When chronic imbalances resist physical treatment, acupuncture works at this deeper layer to address the emotional roots, facilitating true, foundational healing.

Attributed to Traditional Wisdom

The Connection Between Mind & Body

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), chronic stress and suppressed emotions are often the true "root causes" of physical illness. These emotional blockages disrupt the flow of Qi (life force), starving your internal organs of vital nourishment.

Acupuncture is exceptionally effective at regulating the nervous system. By clearing these emotional and energetic layers, we free up your body’s vital resources, paving the way for profound, lasting physical recovery.

Resolving the Root with NLP

While acupuncture prepares the body, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) allows us to safely step into the deeper layers of the psyche where emotional injuries are stored. Reframing and healing these past events can dramatically improve mental health conditions, as well as physical ailments that have an emotional root cause.

As an NLP Master Practitioner, Natanel provides a compassionate, safe and accepting space to help you:

  • Access and Heal emotional trauma and PTSD

  • Navigate and manage anxiety, depression, grief, and loss

  • Release the subconscious triggers affecting your physical health
