FEELING BLEH
AND NEED A BOOST?
Try TRE.
Release tension. Reduce stress.
If you want to release tension, reduce stress and manage your anxiety more effectively, TRE (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises) might be just what you need.
TRE uses gentle movements to release deeply held muscle tension from your body leaving you feeling relaxed, refreshed, revitalised and restored.
TRE is a simple but powerful self-care practice you can use anywhere, any time you notice your stress, tension and anxiety levels starting to rise.
Shake Off Your Stress and Tension:
Join a TRE Taster Group
TRE can help you feel calmer, more grounded and better able to cope with life's challenges. Learning TRE is a safe, natural way to release tension, reduce stress, improve wellbeing and build resilience.
TRE Taster Groups cost $40* and last for 120 minutes. Groups will be held in person in Waimauku, Auckland or online on Zoom on the following dates (New Zealand times):
IN PERSON TASTER SESSIONS
- Saturday 19 September @ 9:30am
- Saturday 24 October @ 11:30am

If you'd prefer to set up a private Taster Group with your own friends, family or colleagues, please get in touch - I'd be happy to talk logistics.
In some cases, private sessions may be advised before joining a group TRE experience. I'm happy to chat about what's appropriate for you.
Developed by Dr David Berceli, TRE uses gentle exercises to stretch and fatigue various muscles. This activates a natural muscle tremor (shaking) response in your body. The shaking releases the tension that builds up in our bodies because of every day stressors or challenging life events.
All mammals have access to this natural protective response to let go of the pent up tension that accumulates in the body when we face threatening situations.
TRE is suitable for all body types and can be easily adapted for any age, fitness level or mobility challenge.
TRE can help you to:
- Release deep muscle tension
- Improve sleep, energy levels, focus and concentration
- Reduce stress, pain, anxiety, depression, stress and tension
- Manage the challenges of everyday living
- Build your resilience
- Build more harmonious relationships and stronger social connections
- Recover more easily from injuries
- Calm your nervous system

During the session you will:
- Discover a new way of managing stress, pain, anxiety and the impact of challenging life events
- Experience how TRE can help you feel calmer, more grounded, more relaxed and more connected to yourself and others
About the session:
- The session will blend theory and practice in a safe, supportive space and in the safety and security of a group
- You'll learn what TRE is, how it was developed and how it benefits people all over the world
