Certified TRE Trauma Release Exercises Provider/Facilitator
For Self-Regulation of traumatised body systems.
TRE © is a simple set of exercises that releases deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. It safely activates a natural shaking or vibrating reflex mechanism for a neurological workout of the body, restoring one's nervous system. No processing of trauma narratives needed. Some clients liken the effects as comparable to a good meditation. Others use it regularly as stress management or selfcare healing practice to maintain vagal tone.

Grace facilitated me to understand my unconscious triggers and issues. I learnt to trust myself in a deeper way. I celebrate being a different transformed person now, able to readily forgive, have a stillness within and pause to observe myself and others. Grace is intuitive and gifted as a companion. I am amazed at her work of healing and recovery through dance movement and art therapies.
