What is TRE®?
TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a modern body-based practice designed to help release stress, tension, and nervous system overload through the body’s natural tremoring response.
The TRE® process uses a series of 7 simple exercises that gently stretch and mildly fatigue the lower body muscles in order to activate neurogenic tremors — a natural reflex mechanism that helps the body discharge deep muscular tension and calm the nervous system.
Many people have learned to suppress or override this natural response while pushing through stress, pressure, and everyday life.
One of the unique aspects of TRE® is that each participant learns how to physically and emotionally self-regulate throughout the process, allowing the experience to feel safe, empowering, and adaptable to individual comfort levels.
The exercises can also be modified to support people with injuries, limited mobility, or physical restrictions, making TRE® accessible to a wide range of individuals.
Your body already knows what to do.
TRE® simply helps you access it.
Your Body Already Has a Built-In Stress Release Mechanism.
TRE® uses a series of simple guided exercises designed to activate neurogenic tremors — a natural reflex mechanism found in the human body.
These gentle tremors help the body release deep muscular tension and excess nervous system activation.
Many people have learned to suppress or override this natural response while pushing through stress, pressure, and everyday life.
TRE® creates a safe opportunity for the body to access this mechanism again.
Think of it like discovering a built-in reset feature your body already had - you just didn’t realize it!
The TRE® Process
A natural pathway to release stress and restore your nervous system.
(1) Gentle Exercises
7 simple exercises that gently stretch and mildly fatigue the lower body muscles, preparing the body to tremor.
(2) Neurogenic Tremor Activation
The body’s natural tremor mechanism is activated, creating an access point for stress and tension held in the body.
(3) Discharge and Release
Gentle tremors help the body discharge excess stress, tension, and nervous system activation in a safe and natural way.
(4) Integration
We allow the body and nervous system to rest, absorb, and reset—supporting a state of greater balance, and well-being.
(5) A Practice for Life
Make TRE® part of your overall well-being lifestyle. After learning TRE®, practice up to 3x/week on your own or attend online refresher group sessions.
Your body already knows what to do.
TRE® simply helps you access it.
What Does TRE® Feel Like?
Each person’s experience is unique.
Some people notice:
gentle shaking or vibration
deep relaxation
warmth or tingling
emotional release
spontaneous stretching
reduced tension
calmness and mental clarity
improved sleep
feeling lighter or more grounded
For many people, TRE® feels like:
a nervous system reset
a full-body exhale
deep physical relief
finally being able to relax
The experience is always guided with an emphasis on safety, self-regulation, and comfort.
Is TRE® Safe?
TRE® is considered safe when practiced responsibly and learned with proper guidance.
Self-regulation is one of the most important parts of the TRE® process. This means learning how to slow down, pause, or stop the tremoring process whenever needed.
In the Intro to TRE Workshops and private sessions, participants learn:
the foundational exercises
nervous system awareness
grounding techniques
self-regulation skills
how to work with their body safely and comfortably
My intention is enablement and empowerment — helping people develop a safe and sustainable personal practice over time.
