What is TRE®
TRE®, Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises, are a simple set of exercises that can be easily learned which trigger a natural tremoring reflex in the body. TRE assists the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of ‘shaking’ which releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to come back into a state of balance. The aim of TRE is to work safely and slowly within limits, not to push the body to fatigue, discomfort or overwhelm.
Join me on ‘Shake It Off’ if you are:
• Want to get into and enjoy being in your body;
• Experiencing a lot of worry and anxiety;
• Feeling reduced emotional resiliency;
• Lacking energy and endurance;
• Suffering from sleep disturbance;
• Having muscle, neck and back pain;
• Wishing to heal old injuries;
• Wanting relief from chronic medical conditions;
You may also be simply curious and want to learn and experience TRE. Whatever your reasons for joining me, I warmly welcome you.
We will find out about the theory, background and principles of TRE and learn about the structure and typical ‘shape’ of a TRE session. There will be an opportunity to learn the exercises designed to warm-up and ‘prime’ the body. You will be taught about ’self-regulation’ which means you won’t push through anything which is potentially uncomfortable, difficult or over-whelming.
After the warm-up exercises you will be talked through and experience your first tremoring/shaking session. This will take place lying down comfortably with a blanket on the yoga mat. After this time there is space for rest and integration, allowing the body to literally ‘incorporate’ new information, messages and patterns.
TRE can be safely practised alone once you are a confident ‘shaker’. You might like to explore working one to one with me or continue working in a group in person or online after this introductory workshop.
*If you are experiencing acute anxiety, panic attacks or PTSD it is suggested to have a one-to-one TRE session before working in a group situation. If you are unsure, please contact me to discuss this on

“I had the privilege of going to one of Fern’s TRE retreats in November 2024 to learn more about experiencing and practicing TRE, having tried out some sessions with her previously. I’ve worked in the field of trauma and neuropsychology in the NHS and therefore understand a fair amount about the nervous system, self regulation and traumatic experiences through my work with clients over the years. What I learned and experienced however was far greater than my expectations.
Being an older human with old traumas stored somatically I was amazed and really helped learning about my body and how helpful TRE can be, because Fern taught the application of it steadily and with such care. I can’t recommend Fern enough if you want to embody the wisdom of TRE in a totally supportive environment. Its 5 stars from me.”
