TRE®

TRE®  is a universal somatic ( body-based ) healing modality & practice that can help release tension, stress & trauma from our bodies by activating a shaking/tremor response. This tremoring release process is inherent in all mammals, though has often been conditioned out of humans’ experience.

​

The exercises used in TRE are simple and easy to learn, and can be done by people of all ages and fitness levels. The technique involves a series of seven exercises, including gentle stretches, muscle activation and breathing techniques. TRE can be done in a group or individual setting. They are typically guided by a certified TRE practitioner for 5-7 sessions and then they can be done with a practioner and on your own.

​

In addition to helping our bodies release stored and unhelpful tension in the body, TRE  also has a calming and positive impact on the nervous & polyvagal systems.

​

The polyvagal system is a complex network of nerves that control the body's response to stress and trauma. When the body is under stress, the polyvagal system activates the “fight or flight” response, which can increase muscle tension, heart rate & blood pressure.  However, when the body is relaxed and feels safe, the polyvagal system activates the "rest and digest" response, promoting relaxation and healing.

​

The practice consisted of a series of seven exercises and was developed by Dr. David Berceli after years spent working in war zones as an aide worker.

​

My TRE  journey began in 2020 after the death of my mom and I began working Christine Varnavas, a TRE  Provider & Trainer based in Eau Claire WI. In 2023, after a series of big stressor life events, I began working with Christine again.

​

In both situations TRE helped me better navigate the physical, emotional & psychological challenges I was experiencing, feel more relaxation and safety in my body, and to experience greater connection, aliveness & joy! For me TRE has become an essential and regular ally for my physical, emotional & psychological health.

​

My experiences with TRE led me to train with Christine and become a TRE provider in October of 2024. Yay!!  

 

I am so delighted and passionate about sharing this affirming practice with anyone who feels curious.

​

"REST is the conversation between what we love to do and how we love to be. Rest is the essence of giving and receiving; an act of remembering, imaginatively and intellectually but also physiologically and physically. To rest is to give up on the already exhausted will as the prime motivator of endeavor, with its endless outward need to reward itself through established goals. To rest is to give up on worrying and fretting and the sense that there is something wrong with the world unless we are there to put it right..." David Whyte

​

​

Rest is learning to listening into you body which is one key ingredients in listening well with your life, your partner, your family members....Join me for an embodied experience in Somatic Yoga Nidra, and some deep rest and deep listening.
