TRE
Somatic Freedom
Trauma Release & Stress Reduction
What is TRE®?
TRE® stands for Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises. Developed by Dr. David Berceli, this body-based practice uses a series of gentle exercises to invite the body’s natural shaking or vibrating response and support its capacity to release and heal. Many people find that the process helps ease muscle tension and feel more comfortable in their bodies. It can also become a way to pause, notice, and care for yourself during stressful times.
As your Certified TRE® Provider, I’ll help you notice your body’s signals, choose a comfortable pace to release trauma and tension, and recognize when it’s time to slow down or pause. My goal is to help you develop a practice you can use to support your health and well-being as life continues to bring new challenges.
You do not have to tell your story to practice TRE®. We can work with what you notice in your body today, without asking you to recall or describe painful events. I’m willing to listen to whatever feels important for you to share.
I’m trained to pay close attention to how your body responds—where you seem at ease, where you may be holding tension, and when it may be time to slow down and catch your breath. Together, we make room for your body to guide the process.
My greatest hope is you experience the wisdom of your body, grow more confident in listening and honor the wisdom you’ve gained through life along the way.
