Gentle Movements for Powerful Change
-
Do you feel like you're constantly running on adrenalin, quick to anger, stressed easily, just hanging on by your fingernails?
This affects your sleep, your relationships, your experience of life.
-
Do you have a chronic condition that the doctor has not been able to help satisfactorily, and you have an inkling there might be a deeper cause?
-
Have you been to years of talk therapy to help you 'get over' the past, and yet every time you see your Dad/ Mum/ sister/ brother / it rains {insert your individual nemesis!} you still feel triggered?
All of these suggest your stress and trauma is trapped in your body, in your nervous system. For true healing, the body must be involved.

TRE releases trauma, stress and tension
TRE, or Trauma Release Exercises, is a simple and effective way to
re-integrate our nervous systems to heal trauma, manage stress and release tension. Once learned, you’ll have an effective self-care tool to support your health and wellbeing for the rest of your life, without the need of a therapist.
Learning TRE involves being guided through a series of gentle movements to activate the innate tremor mechanism all mammals have. You’ll experience involuntary shakes or tremors yet have full control over them.
But this is more than ‘simply shaking’!
TRE is about connecting with our natural, innate stress release response. Just as we have an involuntary stress response (fight, flight, freeze), we also have an involuntary stress release response (tremoring or shaking).
And while we’ve been taught that shaking is a symptom of fear or weakness to be hidden or contained, we now realise that shaking is the natural solution to our stress response - one that helps gradually calm our nervous system and bring our body back to a state of balance.
Release everyday stress and deep-seated tension
TRE is a somatic (body-centred) practice available to all.
As your body opens to the tremors, you’ll be able to access them easily and gain benefits by practicing small amounts often - making it very efficient and powerful.
People who regularly practice TRE have reported:
Less stress, anxiety and rumination
Deeper connection to themselves and others
More energy and greater enjoyment of life
Better sleep
Less pain and tension
Greater flow in their days leading to increased productivity
More joyful relationships
Greater emotional resilience and deeper sense of freedom
Calm as their new 'norm'

"Once you start approaching your body with curiosity instead of fear, everything shifts."
Bessel Van Der Kolk
Is TRE for me?
TRE is simple, gentle and suitable for everybody. We can all use this tremor mechanism to find our inner calm.
For lasting change and healing to occur, the body needs to be involved in our therapy. You don’t need to activate the thinking brain or the emotional brain. You don’t need to talk about yourself or go into detail about any past trauma.
We store unresolved emotions in our nervous system. As the tremors are activated through the brain stem, we can release our inner demons and heal on a deep level without even saying a word.
TRE can help people with:
• Childhood trauma
• Attachment issues
• Sleep disturbances
• Birth trauma
• Anxiety, depression and panic attacks
• Chronic pain and tension
• Anger management issues
• Addictive personalities
What can I expect from a TRE session?
If you’ve never tried TRE, I’d like you to commit to three sessions as each session builds on the last one. My intention is: after three sessions, you’ll know enough about TRE to have it as a self-care, self-love tool for the rest of your life.
Session snapshot:
Lying comfortably on the floor, you’ll be guided through a series of gentle positions designed to activate your body’s natural, neurogenic tremor mechanism.
Physical and emotional self-regulation is essential to learn, for you to feel 100% in control and therefore safe.
You’ll tremor for most of the session, with time for integration at the end- this allows your body to digest its experience.
3-steps to stress less
Session 1:
Befriending the tremors
The first session is about experiencing your innate tremor mechanism and becoming familiar and comfortable with the feeling. Teaching self-regulation is essential for you to become best mates with your tremors.
Session 2:
Consolidating the tremors
In this session we build on your sense of safety and control. We anchor your ability to self-regulate and to enjoy feeling connected to the process unfolding in your body. Hands-on facilitations may be utilised.
Session 3:
Expanding the tremors
Having befriended and consolidated the tremors, you are now ready to expand them through different positions and variations of the exercises. Most clients find this process both curious and fun.
Your investment:
Pay per session = $100 per session
Commit to three sessions upfront = $270 for all three.
My mission is to teach as many humans as possible this life-changing technique, so I aim to keep my costs low.
What next?
After three guided sessions, my intention is you’ll know everything you need to practice TRE on your own.
Some people may want or need more guided sessions to get to this point. Others decide to space out guided sessions a month apart, after their initial three sessions.
If you’re practicing on your own and become ‘stuck’, it’s best to book in for another guided session/s.
How do you know if you’re stuck? If your tremors remain the same for a period of time, or if there’s a particular issue you’d like to work on, or if there has been a lapse in your practice.
Either way, seeing a TRE therapist at these times is recommended if you want your practice to grow and to provide depth to your release process.
A safe space for all your emotions:
