TRE in East Kootenays

04/18/2026

Sharing this important perspective about the TRE process. TRE in East Kootenays is planning an in person workshop in May. Message Bev if you live in the Kimberley/ Cranbrook area and are interested in attending.

This review from Shemaiah says it all, and it touches on something I feel strongly about.

Yes, you can learn TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises) from a YouTube video. And that has value. But there is so much nuance that comes from learning human-to-human.

Our nervous systems learn to self-regulate through co-regulation, being in the presence of a safe, grounded person. Not just once, but across a few repeated sessions. That repetition is where the real shift happens.

Most people need between 3–6 sessions to feel truly comfortable with the neurogenic tremors. Some need a little more support, others less. There's no one-size-fits-all, and that's exactly why having someone with you matters.

What Shemaiah describes, feeling safe, supported, and more connected in daily life, that's what becomes possible when the nervous system finally gets to exhale.

Curious about TRE? Send me a message, and we can talk about whether it's a good fit for you.

When an antelope escapes the jaws of a predator, it picks itself up, has a good shake and then carries on munching grass like nothing happened.

Very quickly, the antelope is ‘over it’. We’re the only species that walks around bottling everything all up, preferring to stay braced against life.

And that’s exactly why I’m so passionate about teaching Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE).

We need safe and easy ways of releasing tension and resetting the reflexes and habits in the central nervous system - we need to wake up our bodies.

TRE works by deliberately activating that involuntary shaking that we’ve all experienced at times of terror, to discharge stress and balance the nervous system – a kind of factory reset, if you like.

As we do this, we actually rewire our nervous systems, and set ourselves free from the default stress patterns which were set up to protect us. It’s been referred to as ‘trauma-proofing’. We can’t stop difficult life events, but they don’t have to break us.

If you’ve experienced trauma, it’s really important to find the community and get support to rediscover what safety feels like, which may involve taking some chances and opening up to your friends and loved ones. I invite you to join one of our upcoming TRE events: www.trecollege.com

JOY IS A NERVOUS SYSTEM STATE!

Joy isn’t just something that happens to you.
It’s something your body must feel safe enough to receive.

When your nervous system is stuck in stress, life can feel like:
• Always rushing
• Always bracing
• Always exhausted

Even beautiful moments feel muted.

But when the nervous system begins to regulate…
Your breath deepens.
You soften.
You feel present.
You notice beauty again.

This is why nervous system work matters.

Not just to reduce stress -
but to expand your capacity for joy.

TRE helps the body release deep patterns of tension and survival stress, creating space for calm, ease, and emotional vitality.

And from that place…

Joy rises naturally. 💛

For anyone living in Calgary who is curious about TRE, Germaine is an experienced and very gentle TRE Provider. You will be held in a safe space.

If your body could speak… what would it say?

“I’m tired of holding all this stress.”
“I need to release.”
“I want to feel calm again.”

TRE® helps the body do exactly that.

Through guidance and the help of a few exercises, your body activates a natural tremor response that releases deep tension stored in the nervous system.

People often leave saying they feel:

✨ calmer
✨ more grounded
✨ lighter in their body
✨ clearer in their mind

My 2-hour TRE® Workshop on Saturday, March 14th is nearly full, so if you’ve been thinking about coming, this is your sign.

A few spaces remain.

Join us and experience what your body has been asking for. https://www.yogamcc.com/workshops

MIGRAINES AND TRE

TRE® is not a treatment for migraines, but it may support the underlying stress patterns that contribute to them.

When the body feels safer and less braced…
Triggers may feel less overwhelming.

When stress builds, the body braces.
Neck tightens.
Breathing shifts.
The system becomes more reactive.

TRE® is a gentle, body-based practice that helps release deep tension and calm the nervous system.

When the body feels safer…
triggers may feel less overwhelming.

Not a treatment.
A support.

Curious? Message me for more information. 🤍
