Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®)

What is TRE®? 

TRE is a self-care practice that helps you manage the stress we all face in our daily lives. It activates your body’s natural neurogenic tremor response to release stored stress, tension, and trauma. It’s like opening a gentle release valve to let the pressure out. All mammals have this innate ability to “shake it off,” and so do we!

Through TRE, your body remembers how to use this tremor response to regulate the nervous system, bringing you from “fight or flight” into “rest and repair.” This shift supports healing, resilience, and overall well-being — helping you thrive, not just survive.

What are the benefits?

  • Reported benefits may include:

    • Feelings of calm and relaxation, with a quieter mind

    • Improved sleep, mood, and digestion

    • Decreased symptoms of anxiety and depression

    • Fewer body aches and pains

    • Release of chronic muscle tension

    • Support in trauma recovery and PTSD

What is a session like?

A session begins with a series of simple standing exercises and gentle stretches to warm up the body. You’ll then lie down on a yoga mat for additional poses as your body naturally begins to tremor.

Your body knows what it needs - tremoring may feel like vibrations, warmth, energy, rocking, or gentle shaking. It’s different for everyone, and whatever you feel is completely normal. It’s gentle, safe, and supportive.

After tremoring, we’ll end with a few minutes of quiet rest to integrate the experience. Sessions last about an hour. Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move easily - no gym-like workout required, just simple, gentle movement.

Who is it for?

TRE is for anyone experiencing stress - and we all do! It’s especially beneficial if you’re ready to add a powerful new tool to your self-care toolbox. Through a series of four sessions, I’ll teach you how to safely and effectively develop your own TRE practice, so you can use it anytime you need.

All fitness levels and abilities are welcome. If you have physical limitations or are differently abled, please let me know so I can modify the practice to suit your needs.

Virtual Sessions Available

TRE sessions are available both in-person and virtually, and are just as effective in an online setting.

Sessions are held over video so we can see each other clearly. This allows me to safely guide you through the exercises, offer support as needed, and help you build confidence in your own practice.

Whether you’re local or not, virtual sessions make it easy to learn TRE from the comfort of your own home.

How to prepare for Virtual Sessions

Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement.

If possible, create a quiet space where you have enough room to lie down comfortably—ideally on something soft like carpet, a yoga mat, or blanket.

It’s helpful to position your device so I can see you both standing and lying down. A laptop or tablet tends to work best for better visibility, but a phone is absolutely okay too.

If you have a wall, door, or sturdy surface nearby, that can be supportive for certain exercises.

Accessibility & Cost-Saving Measures

I believe that healing and personal growth should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. Here are some of the ways I make my services more accessible and affordable:

Sliding Scale & Scholarship Spots
I reserve a limited number of sliding scale and scholarship sessions each month for those experiencing financial hardship. If you feel called to work together but finances are a concern, please fill out my Sliding Scale & Scholarship Request Form here. All information shared is confidential and held with care.

Group Sessions
Group sessions (TRE, Biofield Tuning, Nervous System Sanctuary, and other workshops) are often available at a lower cost. They’re a wonderful way to experience this work in community and benefit from collective healing. Look to the Events page for current group offerings here.
