Have you heard the notion: the body keeps the score?

It speaks to the reality that any time we experience a perceived threat (which can be as innocent as too many emails coming into our inbox), the experience creates an energetic charge in our body, which often gets stored as tension. Overtime, as our bodies become full of the tension of past experience, we literally become stuck. We become limited in our freedom to move in certain ways, to choose different responses to situations, and to get out of thought patterns that don't serve our wellbeing.

However, the body has a natural (and highly intelligent) mechanism for getting unstuck - for releasing accumulated tension and even diffusing the energetic charge of fight/flight/freeze responses before it even stores as tension. It's called therapeutic tremoring - and you have the ability to activate this mechanism at will, as needed, and on your own.

TRE is the most simple and reliable practice I have found for tapping into the nervous system to relieve stress, reduce pain, and form new ways of being and thinking. Through a series of exercises, you’ll activate your body’s natural mechanism for discharging excess tension that accumulates in your system after fight/flight/freeze responses.
TRE is for people who are wanting to:
- Ease chronic tension and back pain
- Ease digestive distress
- Ease stress, anxiety, depression, overwhelm
- Clear stored trauma
- Interrupt unhelpful ways of being
- Come back into their body
- Learn how to feel their nervous system states
- Know when something is too much for them
- Reclaim their life force energy
- Feel the innate goodness of their body
While you will learn the same practice and skills in both 1:1 sessions and the weekly group class, 1:1 sessions offer a more personalized and private experience where we can focus closely on your individual process. If you are wanting to learn TRE in a private setting, or just want to work through something strong that came up in a group class, 1:1 sessions are available for you.
Yes, this is one of the main reasons I became a TRE certified provider, so I could teach others how to quickly regulate for themselves. Many people feel comfortable and confident in practicing TRE on their own after 2-6 sessions. However, more regular 1:1 sessions are available for people who want professional guidance and support.

“Massively improved my anxiety and stress levels”

As a highly sensitive person I am deeply impacted by stressors and traumas of all sizes and struggle with anxiety as a result. I wasn't expecting much when I took Carrie's Intro to TRE workshop over a year ago. But the environment in which Carrie teaches the Intro to TRE class felt so incredibly safe and supportive that the exercises felt like a sigh of relief. It has since become a staple in my self-care, anxiety tool kit and has massively improved my anxiety and stress levels.

“I felt immediate results”

I was introduced to Carrie by my chiropractor who thought TRE would be helpful. I felt immediate results. TRE has helped me release tension and fear from areas in my body where I unknowingly hold it. I feel completely connected to my body now and use Carrie's techniques as frequently as I need them. I now know how to help my body get to a calm and peaceful place. I have been so impressed that I have told everyone I know about Carrie. Her extensive knowledge and open minded approach sets her apart.
