What is TRE?

TRE® is a body-based practice that uses a series of movements to invite the body’s natural neurogenic tremoring response. You’re always encouraged to stay connected with choice — including slowing down, pausing or stopping whenever you want.

If you’ve been curious about TRE® but aren’t quite sure where to begin, this is the perfect way yo start.

Enrol now.

Send me a DM or follow the link in my bio to learn more.

What I love about TRE® is hearing people describe the experience in their own words — feeling more connected to their body, more aware of stress, able to slow down, and learning to listen to what their body needs.

For some, it’s also the relief of discovering that everything doesn’t have to be talked through again.

Sometimes the body needs a place in the conversation too.

Curious about TRE® and what it might feel like to allow your body to move, tremor and release tension in its own way?

I offer opportunities to learn TRE® privately, 1:1, or in a small group at my Kingston studio in Canberra.

Every body arrives with a story.

Anxiety, grief, ADHD, complex trauma, confusion, collective trauma — we don’t leave what we’re feeling at the door. What we bring can shape how we experience yoga.

This is part of why trauma sensitivity matters. It asks us to consider not only what we offer in yoga, but how we offer it.

If you’re curious, come and try a trauma-sensitive yoga class Friday at 9:30am in Kingston, Canberra, or join online from anywhere in Australia.

Or, if you’d like to dive deeper, I’m currently taking expressions of interest for my next 8-week Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) course, an evidence-based approach developed for complex trauma and chronic PTSD.

The focus isn’t on getting the shape right. It’s on noticing your own experience, exploring choice, and finding your own relationship with your body and the practice.

What you bring belongs in the room.

WHAT CAN COERCION LOOK LIKE IN YOGA?

Have you ever been in a yoga class where you wanted to stop, move differently, keep your eyes open, or simply not do what was being offered?

And did you feel there was genuinely room for that choice?

I’m interested in this because trauma so often involves having our needs ignored, our boundaries crossed, or our voices silenced. Over time, someone else’s agenda can come to matter more than our own lived experience.

So what happens when we bring that history — whether we recognise it as trauma or not — into a yoga room?

These are some of the questions at the heart of Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY).

TCTSY was developed in a clinical context specifically for complex trauma and PTSD and has an evidence base supporting its use as an adjunctive intervention. Rather than assuming what somebody should do or feel, the practice creates opportunities for noticing, choosing, changing your mind and deciding what you do with your own body.

I’m curious: what helps a yoga practice feel like your practice?

My next 8-week TCTSY course in Canberra is now open for enrolment. If you’d like to know more about how the course works, more info through my link in bio.

Why We Started with TRE® Before Breathwork

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is watching people rediscover confidence in their own nervous system.

Recently, a client came to see me after a breathwork session that had left her feeling deeply distressed.

Rather than encouraging her to push through or try again straight away, we slowed everything down.

We worked with TRE®, trauma-sensitive principles, grounding and choice.

Not because TRE® is the answer for everyone, but because it offered her nervous system an opportunity to experience regulation in a way that felt manageable and supported.

As her confidence grew, she decided she was ready to return to breathwork.

This time, the experience was different.

She felt more present, more grounded and better able to stay connected with herself throughout the practice.

For me, that's what trauma-aware care looks like.

It's not about deciding that one modality is better than another.

It's about recognising that how we introduce a practice can be just as important as which practice we choose.

Sometimes learning to self-regulate becomes the foundation that allows other healing practices to be received more safely.

I'm curious...

Have you ever found that one practice prepared you for another?

Or has there been something that helped you feel more connected and regulated in your body?

I'd love to hear your experience.

Nothing holds me more than a tree.

Word less.

Nestled.

Still.

Breathing together.

In deep time.

Longing for the world to listen.

Earth's deep embrace.

Beauty in the chaos.

Letting go

Rest

One.

The Cherry Ballart tree - serves as a profound living metaphor in First Nations spiritual traditions, symbolizing three core concepts:
Mutual Support & Respectful Coexistence:

As a hemi-parasite that thrives in harmony with host trees without harming them, it is a primary teaching tool for community symbiosis, sharing resources, and deep interconnectedness.
Protection & Safe Sanctuary: Its thick, weeping, curtain-like foliage is considered the physical dwelling and hiding place of the Marlimas (sacred spirit women), offering a safe space of solace, privacy, and maternal protection for women.

Do you have a favourite sit spot in nature?

Being in nature will be a part of the embodied experiences in the online Safe To Feel Embodiment Program.

We are patterns of chaos
Geometries specific and unique

Rotated by every challenge
And resized by our mistakes
