Join me, Sophie, for a 4-week group experience designed to help you release tension, soothe your nervous system, and learn how to truly rest.
This is a body-based practice - you can leave your story at the door as sharing this can often pull us back into stress and survival mode.
Your body feels tense or on edge most of the time.
You struggle to relax or switch off, even when you desperately want to rest.
You’ve talked about your stress or worries before, but you still feel anxious, stressed or burnt out.
If so, this gentle 4-week group experience could be exactly what you need.
You’ll learn a simple, effective way —
TRE™ (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises)
— to help your body release built-up tension and bring calm back to your nervous system.
TRE® uses a series of easy exercises to help your body naturally shake off deep muscular patterns of stress and tension.
These gentle movements activate the body’s natural shaking or tremoring response—a built-in mechanism that helps us discharge built-up stress and restore a sense of balance in the nervous system.
These tremors are completely natural and often feel relieving, calming, and grounding.
.Whether you're holding tension from everyday stress or carrying deeper layers of unresolved trauma, TRE® offers a body-led way to soften, release, and reconnect.
TRE ® is not therapy and there’s no talking or sharing required. It’s a body-based practice that helps you feel safer, calmer, and more connected to yourself.
This experience is for you if…
o
You feel overwhelmed, stressed, or constantly tense

TRE® stands for Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises®. It’s a series of simple physical movements designed to activate the body’s natural shaking mechanism, which helps release built-up stress, tension, and overwhelm held in the body. It’s safe, gentle, and can be practised at your own pace.
No. TRE® is a body-based practice — not a talking therapy. You won’t be asked to share your story, explain your feelings, or talk about anything unless you choose to. personal?
The shaking (also called "neurogenic tremors") can feel a bit unusual at first, but it’s completely natural. Some people feel a sense of release or relief, others feel sleepy or emotional — all responses are welcome. You’re in full control the whole time, and can stop or pause at any point.
Wear something comfortable that you can move in — like leggings or joggers and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. You might want to bring some water. You’ll mostly be lying down, so comfort is key.
TRE® was originally developed for people recovering from trauma and chronic stress. However, every nervous system is different, so we take things slowly and gently. A short health form is completed before joining to help make sure it’s a good fit. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact me before booking.
In many cases, yes — but it’s important to check. Everyone fills in a short health form before attending, and you’re welcome to reach out beforehand to talk through any concerns. TRE® is adaptable and can be practised in a way that suits your body.
Yes. The goal of this group is to teach you how to safely practise TRE® on your own. You’ll build confidence over the four weeks and leave with a tool you can continue to use whenever you need it.
You don’t have to carry stress and tension alone.
This is your invitation to slow down, reconnect, and discover a gentle, effective way to feel more like yourself again.
Join us for this 4-week supportive group TRE™ experience — and learn how to unwind stress and support your nervous system, from the inside out, at your own pace and in your own time.
