TRE® is a powerful, body-led practice that helps release deeply held stress & tension, reset your nervous system, and restore inner ease.

This isn’t about pushing or fixing. It’s about tuning in and creating space for your body to move, release, and re-pattern—naturally.

Past participants say it feels like getting “a massage from the inside out.”
Other participants regularly say this experience is “life-changing,” “inspiring,” and “profound.”

Expect gentle movement, somatic shaking, deep rest, and a sense of realignment you can take with you. 

This experience is ideal for people who are curious about somatic practices, self-regulation, and embodied healing—not because something is broken, but because something in you is ready to reconnect. 

Come as you are. All bodies are welcome and no experience is necessary. 

This technique has multiple positive effects on the body, including:
- relieving stress and lowering anxiety
- calming and balancing the nervous system
- bringing the body back into a state of balance
- more energy and stamina/endurance
- improved sleep and natural states of rest
- reduced muscle aches and pains, including relief from migraines, headache, back pain
- better circulation, waking up areas of the body which may be numb or blocked
- calming heart rate and breathing
- increased flexibility

And the wide range of reported benefits include:
- reduced feelings of overwhelm, anger, fear and rage
- increased feelings of love, openness and caring
- releasing trauma
- greater emotional resilience
- healthier mind and body awareness

This workshop is capped at 10 people to allow for an intimate, personalized experience.

What to expect:
Bring your mat or a blanket, and wear comfortable clothes for movement and stretching. You'll be stretching and fatiguing your leg muscles while upright for up to 30 minutes. During the practice, you can set your own pace. The shaking will be done lying on a mat and then we'll end with deep relaxation and reflection. No experience is necessary! TRE® is safe and effective for most people, and will leave you feeling rebalanced and calm.
