TRE® & Somatic Release | Releasing Trauma & Restoring Balance
Gentle, body-led practices to release stored tension, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with ease. Your body remembers what your mind forgets. When stress, shock, or trauma have built up over time, the body quietly holds on - through tightness, fatigue, overthinking, or that constant hum of “on-edge.”
TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) and Somatic Release help your body finally let go of what it’s been carrying — safely, naturally, and without forcing. These sessions are your invitation to breathe again, soften, and come home to yourself.
You don’t have to re-live your story to release it.
Sometimes the body just needs a chance to complete the stress cycle it never got to finish.
TRE® and Somatic Release give your nervous system permission to do exactly that, unwinding stored patterns of tension through natural tremors, micro-movements, and deep rest.
You’ll learn how to notice, allow, and regulate your body’s own recovery process, so that calm becomes your new normal — not something you have to chase.

TRE® | The Body’s Natural Way to Let Go
Developed by Dr David Berceli, TRE® is a series of gentle movements that trigger your body’s natural tremor reflex. This is a neurogenic shaking response designed to release deep muscular tension and reset the nervous system.
It’s been used worldwide to help people safely unwind physical and emotional stress.
Benefits include:
Releasing stored tension and trauma
Calming the fight-flight-freeze response
Easing pain, tightness, and fatigue
Improving sleep, focus, and emotional balance
These are not usually big, dramatic shakes instead they’re small, self-regulating tremors that restore trust between your body and your brain.
Somatic Release | Listening to the Body’s Wisdom
Somatic Release is the art of paying attention.
It’s a gentle, awareness-based practice that helps you sense, move, and release what words can’t reach.
No force, no pushing — just curiosity, noticing, and allowing.
Through guided exploration and micro-movement, the body unwinds old bracing patterns and remembers safety again.
It helps to:
Reduce chronic muscle holding and stress patterns
Support trauma recovery through nervous-system regulation
Restore natural mobility and posture
Create an inner sense of calm and presence
How the Nervous System Affects the Pelvic Floor
Your pelvic floor is part of your stress story.
When your body is in constant alert, the deep muscles of the pelvis, abdomen, and jaw tighten to “protect.” Over time, that protective holding can create discomfort, pelvic pain, or prolapse symptoms.
TRE® and Somatic Release help switch the system from fight-or-flight or freeze to rest-and-restore and social engagement, allowing the pelvic floor — and the rest of you — to soften, re-hydrate, and rebuild from safety.
