TRE offers a gentle and powerful trauma-informed pathway to the body's natural ability to release tension, re-establish connections and regulate the nervous system.

The TRE process consists of gentle body weight exercises, spontaneous expression, movement and tremoring (also known as neurogenic tremoring), periods of stillness, and discussion of what is being experienced in the body.

The body is allowed to release and resolve physical tension and neurological patterns that no longer serve it. Over time, the body is able to regulate more effectively and experience greater balance, resilience, calm and connection.

This process is inherent in all mammals. Although it has been embraced in many traditional cultures, it has been misunderstood and inhibited in modern western culture. 

As a result, many of our bodies experience the profound effects of tension, stress, trauma or PTSD.

TRE was developed by David Berceli, Ph.D., an international expert in trauma intervention and conflict resolution. 

Suitable for people of all ages, cultures and socio-economic backgrounds, TRE may have a beneficial effect on:

• Physical tension

• Stress

• Muscle and joint pain

• Sleep quality

• Nervous system regulation

• Trauma symptoms

• PTSD

TRE is designed to empower the individual with a practice that, eventually, can be used by yourself at home in your own space and time.

Nelson completed training as a Certified TRE Provider in 2021 and offers private individual and group sessions, in person and online, as well as fortnighly community group sessions.
