Tension and Trauma Release Exercise TRE®

One to one sessions (in person & online), group workshops and courses with Tom Hoyland.

“I have been a Reflexologist and Massage Therapist for over 25 years, encouraging clients to notice what sensations come up in the body whilst we work”.

“TRE® has the ability to help us notice more, to really connect with ourselves and help release holding patterns in the body, accumulated from stress and trauma in our lives. TRE® can be playful joyous and in my experience can bring a feeling of deep calm to the nervous system”.

The accumulation of stress and trauma and lack of tension release can create a dysregulated nervous system. TRE® is a body-led set of simple, powerful exercises that can help to release stress, tension, and trauma. TRE® safely activates a natural therapeutic reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating, that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When the natural shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance and calm. TRE® is a body based (somatic) process created by Dr. David Berceli and is designed to be a self-help tool that once learned, can be used as needed, thereby continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wellbeing.

Reported benefits of TRE® include; Less worry and anxiety, more energy and endurance, reduced muscular pain, greater emotional resiliency and more.

Dr David Berceli, creator of

Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE)

“Tremors in humans are a natural response of a shocked or disrupted nervous system attempting to restore the body and mind to a state of balance. Tremors… aid recovery….. they don’t cause us to relive the experience…. they extinguish the trauma … helping turn off our fight, flight or freeze mechanism”.

From Dr David Berceli’s book, The Revolutionary Trauma Release process.

Safety is not the absence of threat, it’s the presence of connection”
