Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises

What is TRE?

TRE is a simple set of exercises, created by Dr. David Berceli, that invites the body’s natural tremoring response — a built-in way mammals let go of stress and tension. You stay in charge the whole time: you learn to start, slow and pause the tremor yourself.

  1. 01

    Arrive

    We talk first. You share what brings you, and we agree on a pace that feels safe today.

  2. 02

    Release

    A short guided sequence of gentle movements lets the body begin its natural tremor — always by your choice.

  3. 03

    Integrate

    Rest, notice, and leave with simple tools to keep practicing safely on your own.

People often come for: stress and anxiety · trouble sleeping · chronic tension · CPTSD · feeling “stuck” in the body · recovery after hard seasons of life.

Questions

Good to know.

What does a TRE session feel like?

Most people feel a gentle shaking or trembling in the legs and body. It’s natural, and you can slow or stop it at any time. Many people feel calmer and lighter afterwards.

Do I need any experience?

No experience is needed. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes, and come without a full stomach. Laureen will guide every step.

Is TRE right for everyone?

TRE isn’t recommended during pregnancy or right after surgery, and some people do best starting in private sessions. A free consultation helps decide what’s right for you.

Where are sessions held?

Sessions are held in Mandeville, New Orleans, and on Zoom. Group sessions are available on request.

How much does it cost?

Individual TRE sessions are $150 per session, or $300 for a package of 3 sessions paid in advance. Ask Laureen about group events — the first consultation is free.
