Daoist Neuro-Energetic Balancing (DNEB)

Hands-on energetic therapy for deep pain relief, nervous system harmony, and whole-body integration.

What Is DNEB?

Daoist Neuro-Energetic Balancing (DNEB) is a specialized hands-on energy therapy that works directly with the nervous system to promote homeostasis, release tension, and support long-term relief from pain and dysfunction.

This method draws from classical Daoist healing principles and Medical Qigong practices. Using energetics cultivated through years of internal practice, I access each intervertebral space along the spine and deliver subtle energetic signals through the spinal nerves. These signals are read by the body and reflected back, allowing me to modulate and refine the input to encourage a return to physiological balance.

Each DNEB session is unique, tailored to the client’s energetic presentation in the moment. Over the course of 50–75 minutes, every spinal nerve is gently accessed and assessed, influencing the organs, tissues, and systems connected to those neural pathways. The result is often a profound release of stored tension and disharmony—not only in the nervous system, but also in the musculoskeletal, visceral, and endocrine systems.

Because of its direct communication with the body's internal circuitry, DNEB may also support:

  • Organ functioning and vitality

  • Hormonal balancing and endocrine regulation

  • Immune system resilience

  • Energetic clarity and emotional grounding

What Can DNEB Help With?

DNEB is especially effective for:

  • Chronic or persistent pain

  • Nerve-related issues (neuropathy, radiating pain, numbness)

  • Stress-related tension patterns

  • Autonomic nervous system dysregulation

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Discomforting Menstrual Symptoms

  • Muscular tightness that doesn't resolve with massage alone

  • Energetic imbalances impacting physical or emotional wellness

What to Expect

Sessions are 50–75 minutes depending on the body’s response. Because the work is deep and adaptive, each session varies in length and intensity. While it is a bit easier to read postural misalignments with your shirt off, clients may remain fully clothed if more comfortable this way. This work is energetic in nature—there is no pressure, manipulation, or force.

For chronic pain or long-standing issues, a minimum of three sessions within 10 days is strongly recommended to experience the full benefits of this system.

If a client feels no improvement after their first session, there is no charge.
