Our Austin community is holding a lot right now. After traumatic events, the body often stays in a heightened stress response long after the moment has passed.

To support those affected, 5NP Texas is offering a free community ear acupuncture group using the 5-Needle Protocol, a gentle, non-verbal treatment that helps regulate the nervous system and reduce stress.

This is a quiet group setting where participants sit together while receiving treatment. No sharing or talking is required — just space to breathe, settle, and receive support.

If you or someone you know has been impacted, you are welcome here.

5NP Texas Training: Medicine for the Times
In a world that feels heavy, fast, and tender… we need practices that help us hold what’s true without always needing words.

The 5-Needle Protocol (5NP) ear acupuncture training is more than a skill—it’s a way of cultivating spaces where people can gather in community, regulate the nervous system, and move through trauma and grief with support.

This work is a gift practitioners can give to:
• themselves (to sustain their own healing and service)
• each other (to stay connected while carrying deep stories)
• their clients (offering immediate nervous system regulation and relief)

If you’ve been searching for a meaningful, nonverbal tool to support your clients—and yourself—this is your invitation.

Join us in North Austin
📍 Friday Jan 30 – Sunday Feb 1
for a weekend to connect, learn, grow, and be seen in the work of helping humanity heal.

We’re honored to share that 5NP Texas has been invited to train at Addiction & Psychotherapy Services (Austin Methadone Clinic)—a trusted pillar in Austin’s recovery community since 1982. 

This clinic was founded on a rare and deeply values-driven mission: providing comprehensive, high-quality outpatient care at the lowest possible fees, operating without external funding, and staying committed to a non-profit philosophy. 

From the beginning, Dr. Heinz Aeschbach helped shape a model that recognizes what so many patients already know to be true: recovery is not just physical—it’s neurological, emotional, relational, and long-term. The clinic continues to stand out for its integrated psychiatric and rehabilitative services, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and robust mental health support. 

Bringing the 5-Needle Protocol (5NP) into this environment supports the same philosophy: whole-person care that helps regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and strengthen recovery resiliency—especially for individuals navigating trauma and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Thank you to the team at Addiction & Psychotherapy Services for trusting us with this work and for your decades of service to the Austin community.
