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.
