For your safety and comfort you should only receive TRE ® guidance from certified individuals. Please do not receive TRE®  guidance from anyone who is not certified and listed on this website or on www.traumaprevention.com. Although the exercises evoke tremors easily, the ability to understand and safely guide a person through a successful completion of a session is more complex. The goal of providing you with certified TRE® Providers is to ensure you have a safe, pleasant and positive experience.

At 42, after a 2nd failed marriage, I decided that I needed to get to know myself and explore my mood swings, my high levels of anxiety and fear and my inability to control my emotions. I started therapy and, after a few years, I started to learn various therapy practices to try and help myself and others who felt as overwhelmed with life as I did. By 2009 I had many therapeutic certificates and then TRE® found me. It was then that I learned how my body was bearing the burden of my traumatized past.

Having the honor and pleasure of attending all of Dr David Berceli’s trainings in South Africa, I am now a very privileged TRE® Trainer and Advanced Provider. This amazing body-based process has totally transformed my life and my passion now is to work with anyone who is “sick and tired of being sick and tired” of their own behaviors, overwhelming emotions and issues and for anyone who feels numb and disconnected.

Do you want to live in a healthy, happier and more fulfilled way? Come for some sessions so I can teach you how to do this for yourself and for your own well-being or come and train and be of service to others after a mere eight months of training.

Monthly inquiry circles using ‘The Work’ of Byron Katie and Family Constellations are also available

Information on Haley’s TRE® Provider Training via THIS LINK

I have always instinctively believed that the body is capable of facilitating its own healing and like many people who have tried TRE® and incorporated it into their lives, I realised very quickly that this was indeed a possibility. After incurring a back injury 24 years ago, I started a journey of self-awareness and physical healing, finding that the two are linked.

I attended the first TRE® training in South Africa in 2010 with Dr David Berceli and within 8 sessions my back pain was gone. Living without pain and fear has been a life changing experience for me. I am also a Cranio-Sacral Therapist and work with facilitating the body to release its OWN tension. TRE® is the ultimate form of this kind of release and the two work effectively together. TRE® is truly a process of not only release but true recovery from past experiences that change who you were meant to be.

If you thought there was no chance of improving your life or physical condition, you may just be wrong. TRE® is about resolving past tension and trauma, providing you with an essential tension discharge tool – just for you.

I specialise in physical pain, working with children and ADD related anxiety and fear.

I discovered TRE at a point of great emotional trauma in my personal and family life. I was in awe as I discovered this incredible built-in mechanism that heals and de-stresses simultaneously. I like to refer to the process as a BODY and SOUL massage from within. I have shifted from depression to joy and peace by using TRE.

TRE is a powerful tool for anyone who is ready to face his or her challenges,  thereby taking responsibility for living an authentic, healthy life.

I am qualified to work in groups but prefer the intimacy of working one-on-one. I will however also work with 2 or 3 people maximum

I have always been amazed at how our bodies heal and respond to life situations. When introduced to TRE® I just knew that this was a tool that I needed to help me cope with life stresses that are inevitable in a very fast paced modern lifestyle. TRE® has given me the ability to deal with life in a much calmer way. No longer being anxious and fearful I now think more clearly and make better decisions.

Becoming an Advanced TRE® Provider gives me the opportunity to help others use this powerful therapy to improve their daily lives.

Specialised Kinesiology – Cranio Sacral Therapy

Many of my clients are amazed at how quickly and easily they respond to TRE®, with great results and a few belly laughs amongst the tears and more serious stuff along the way.

There are times when we need to get out of our heads and allow our bodies to do the healing work. I have found TRE to be an invaluable tool for doing that – it helps us to release the baggage and trauma that we hang onto, that we sometimes don’t even know is there, and often don’t know how to get rid of.

I enjoy creating a safe space where people can discover and respond to TRE, using it to offload, repair, gain insight, come unstuck, and ultimately move towards having a more free and fulfilling life.

Acudetox Specialist – The Bars Therapy

I have not forgotten that moment when I first experienced TRE® and a deep state of calm. It helped me realise just how much anxiety and stress played a role in my life! At that stage I was very dependent on physiotherapists, chiropractors and my doctor to keep me in reasonable health.

Married with 2 children, I can happily say that the benefits of living without constant anxiety – of having healed past traumas that remained unresolved on a physical level – not only improved my overall health and wellbeing but changed my life so much so that I felt compelled to share this knowledge with others. I so enjoy this journey with each of my clients – we all deserve to feel good, have positive attitudes about ourselves and enjoy what life has to offer and most of all, feel empowered to create the life we desire!

To support clients struggling with addictions, depression, hyperactivity and as a general detox aid, I also offer the NADA 5 point Acudetox protocol. And if you are a worrier – constantly scaring yourself with negative thoughts causing further distress in your body, I highly recommend The Bars – a session is like deleting old files or a virus off your computer!

I plan to live a long, happy, healthy and fulfilling life how amazing to have these tools to help me achieve this goal – are you?

I have always had a deep interest in helping people, and have a naturally empathetic nature.

Having healed so profoundly myself, my passion has led me on a journey of working with healing modalities (Reiki Master), that assist others on their journeys to optimum health and vitality.
I have always believed that any unreleased emotions, stress and traumas create havoc in our lives on a mental, physical, emotional level. This creates dis-ease and blockages for us when all we really want is to be able to move forward in a powerful way and grow through our experiences.

With TRE® I have personally experienced and witnessed that once we release stress, traumas and pent up emotions in our bodies, our physical, emotional and mental wellbeing automatically improve.

My own TRE process led to a much calmer nervous system, a more focused mind and a general sense of wellbeing. I have overcome years of physical and emotional pain and trauma by releasing past patterns. This has opened up so many doors for me.

I enjoy sharing this self-empowering tool with all my clients. I am privileged to witness them progress into the best possible version of themselves.

But, through the highs and lows of a business career and as he raised two daughters, Stephen struggled, like so many of his generation, to help himself overcome PTSD from his time in the military.

It was only once he found TRE® that Stephen benefited from the immense value of working out the traumas held in the body without reliving them in the mind. To help others find the peace he found through this revolutionary therapy, Stephen became a TRE® Provider and now devotes his time to teaching others the healing art of tremoring.

When not teaching, Stephen volunteers at his local public park, and Event Directs his local parkrun event, thriving by contributing to his community and to the wellness of all around him.

Working in a therapeutic environment for over 15 years, dealing with people living with cancer, autoimmune conditions and the like, I also work with those going through huge positive life changes like pregnancy – my approach to healing has always been holistic.

Once I had attended a TRE® workshop, I realized that this was another way to help my patients hold themselves in the world. Trauma can manifest in physical illnesses in the body and that’s why both TRE® and Therapeutic Reflexology complement each other. Together they assist us in dealing with the cause and effects of trauma.

The impact of trauma not only affects our health, but also shows in behavioral changes such as aggression, anxiety and social disengagement. These symptoms can be extremely overwhelming and damaging, but because the TRE® helps to calm down the nervous system the ripple effect allows people to regain the ability to manage their lives.

I am an Executive and Life Coach, based in Rivonia. I believe that resilience is not about pushing harder, it is about knowing when you need to stop and recharge. Hence, my approach embraces the connection between the mind and the body. I offer clients a calm, supportive space away from the urgency and demands of life, to help people come unstuck and live fulfilled happy lives with less stress.

TRE® is a natural way to let go of and purge the excess energy from stressful experiences. I use this practice to help people get back in touch with their natural instinct to overcome past trauma, or current tension and stress. I have found that combining TRE® with coaching work to be very effective. It is an empowering technique that enables you to deal with the physical effects of stress and trauma without digging up the emotional connections.

I will teach and guide you, so that you can continue the process on your own as a way of regulating your emotions. Once you start doing TRE, a range of possibilities will become visible to you once again.

I have experienced the benefits of this practise in my own life, with my clients and family members. It has helped me to get through a difficult transition period in my life with ease and inner strength. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, uninspired or you have high levels of anxiety, depression, fear, sleep difficulties or you have experienced trauma, contact me for a brief consultation.

I work with individuals, groups and offer corporate wellness programs. I also work with teens who are overwhelmed by exam stress. I would love to assist you to find greater innovation, resilience and grounding.

I have been a Clinical Psychologist since 2004 and have worked with all variety of cases e.g. couples, children, adolescents, individuals, groups, grief, trauma debriefing, mediation, psycho-educational assessments, career guidance and subject choice testing. 

I have always been fascinated with healing in all its forms, as part of the human condition seems to be suffering and pain. Sharing healing with people is a deeply meaningful and freeing experience for all parties involved. Compassion and laughter are central to my approach, whilst keeping the individuals particular needs as the compass for the process.

TRE® fills a vital role in terms of healing that does not require people to speak about their suffering should they not wish to do so. This appealed to me as it opens another channel for healing in an intuitive way, in that we can trust our bodies to know what we need  and how we need it!

School was a struggle, what went wrong?
Why wasn’t I like the other kids?
I too wanted my mom and dad to be proud of me. I started school with great enthusiasm no tears, I could not wait. Like a lot of small girls, I wanted to be a ballerina, I practiced every day. But after one year the teacher told my mom not to waste her money as I was a bit like a baby elephant. I don’t know when I stopped trying, but I did. From the age of 16 I started to look for answers, studying many things.

My greatest understanding came at the beginning of my training in TRE® (Trauma Release Exercise).When humans suffer trauma, our autonomic nervous system takes over the running of our bodies, putting us into fight flight or freeze. Neuroimaging studies found patients with severe early life trauma had almost NO activation of any of the self-sensing area of the brain. So early childhood trauma was the cause of my struggle. TRE® also helps with pain reduction and reducing the effects of fibromyalgia.

I am happy to announce that because of TRE® I am no longer shut down and shut off to life. With great passion I want you to know, that no one needs to go through life not being able to dance, learn, feel or excel, because with a few simple exercises and our body’s own intelligence we can switch our ‘self’ back on and thrive.

Help me and TRE® For Africa give all the kids with learning difficulties a fighting chance. And all of you who have and still are suffering from stress use TRE®. NO DRUGS NO ENDLESS HOURS OF THERAPY JUST TRE®.

I come from a corporate background and was introduced to TRE® in 2018.  I qualified as a TRE® Provider in 2019. 

TRE® has changed my life on so many levels and I absolutely believe in what it does for the human body and mind when it comes to dealing with everyday stress as well as deep seated trauma.

We are all under a lot of pressure every day, whether it be work, home, family or financial stress. Stress and trauma always have a body response and trauma gets stuck in the body through years of us trying to carry it and living our lives in survival mode. 

TRE® gives you the tools to work through your stress and anxiety and teaches your body how to regulate those emotions. It helps you deal with everyday annoyances and stress and teaches you how to handle it better.  On a deeper level it assists in getting rid of years of trauma stuck in your body.

I am passionate about helping people get rid of that trauma and stress and feel better about themselves, and thereby also living more healthy and balanced lives.

I am currently a practising TRE® Provider and assist with TRE training and research projects. I qualified in Craniosacral Therapy too and use it as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with TRE. I work with small groups and one-on-one sessions. I facilitate sessions in person (face to face) or online, to give my clients a choice of what they feel more comfortable with.

My practice, EXHALE, is in Elarduspark in Pretoria East (South Africa), and I strive to create a safe and calm space for my clients, so you can relax, reflect and……………take a breath!

I believe that everything in our life starts with us. When we are in a healthy state, mind, body and spirit, we enjoy life so much more and are able to better manage the challenges which come our way. Self-awareness is the key. I love to work with individuals for personal and business transformation. Through the process of Consciousness Coaching, my specific focus is getting down to the core of the individual, enabling them to rediscover themselves and the potential inside of them, thus impacting their lives and businesses positively.

Through my passion for personal development, I embarked on a journey with TRE® and how a trauma-informed approach supports individuals to address the root cause of what keeps them stuck which then supports them to unlock their potential. Through the TRE® process, individuals are supported to regulate their nervous system which is an awakening of its own and is the foundation from which operate and grow from. I combine coaching and the TRE® process to support individuals holistically through conscious development so that they can live a life they truly love and thrive in. I offer private individual sessions and TRE® Group work facilitation. Also available are Coaching-TRE® combo packages.

TRE® is a methodology that I had inadvertently been seeking out my whole life. I have pondered on the topic of mental stability for a long period of time, as we live in a society that has taken ”anxiety” and made it the “it word”.

My son Carter was the reason I came across TRE®. He had been diagnosed with ADHD and was in desperate need of a way to release the pent up anxiety and stress in his system. TRE® provided a “self-help mechanism”” that was incredibly impactful in a mere 6 sessions. These remarkable, life-changing results that I saw in both my child and myself, propelled me towards gaining my TRE® certification.

I have been fortunate enough to have qualified under one of South Africa’s highest acclaimed trainers, equipping myself with the latest, cutting-edge and pioneering methods used in TRE® today. The results associated with the TRE® method can be seen in the unmistakable responsiveness of our physical bodies (alleviating pain), as well as our nervous system/emotional wellbeing  (relieving anxiety). This then introduces us to a new level of self consciousness, allowing us to be content within our own skin. 

I work with small groups as well as one-on-one. I enjoy creating a safe environment where one can gain insight into TRE® and also experience the breakthroughs which lead to the empowering of oneself to gain mental stability back, a priceless commodity.

From early childhood, I realised that I want to help people to improve their lives and have a more positive outlook on life. I completed a BA in Communications in 1988 with Psychology major. In 1989, I completed diploma in Public Relations, working full time in Public Relations and received an Honours degree at Unisa. I worked in Sales, Marketing and Training and have been co-owning and managing a Guest Lodge in Magaliesburg. My life has always been about multi-tasking and coping with lots of stress.

I was introduced to TRE® as it was recommended for my son to help with concentration and anxiety. Once I understood more about TRE and saw the positive changes in my son I realised that TRE® would be the way to help myself and other people on a deeper level.

Since doing TRE myself, I have become calm and focused, several health issues have improved and best of all, my mind has become clearer! I have been able to assist my husband with relaxing and improving his health since a suffered a heart attack. I have been able to help people of different ages from mature women with muscle pain and unresolved childhood trauma to children with concentration and anxiety problems.

Emmett Therapy is a highly effective technique to relieve pain and discomfort in the body. I have personally experienced Physiotherapy and Massage Therapy, and am convinced that the Emmett Technique combined with TRE brings faster relief with fewer after effects!

Being able to help people with their pain, stress and trauma is more rewarding than anything I have done in the past!

Emotional stresses emanating from daily life, experiences of trauma, loss and hurt find its way (and are embedded) into the human body. I discovered that we were born with the potential (ability) to release stress and trauma in a natural way and that this reality is within each person’s grasp.

TRE® was the key to my personal quest for releasing imbedded traumas physically. Once I mastered the technique and my body experienced it, I literally needed to tremor. It has become part of my daily life, I know my personal experience can benefit others.

I have been in the IT profession all my life, a world where logic reigns.  With TRE® I now live a world where logic mostly plays no part, where each individual can follow his/her unique, unpredictable path to healing. I am also a wellness consultant.

OFFERING TRE® ONLINE

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Mary Oliver

I was introduced to TRE in 2011, as my life did a full 180 – work, solo-parenting and leaving the city to live close to the land. 

Little did I know what challenges and at times, terrifying, adventures lay ahead! 

Through it all, TRE® has been a mainstay. 

More than simply survive, I integrated long-held woundings and trauma and began rediscovering the path to joy, creativity & vibrance. 

TRE® has taught me about the body’s capacity for resilience; how relationship with self and others can be repaired and rebuilt. 

Our bodies hold the stories of our lives and the lives of our ancestors. Through commitment to continued learning and training, I aim to be part of addressing the suffering caused by collective and intergenerational trauma. 

Are you tired of waiting…
to let go of the patterns that hold you back
to feel comfortable in your own skin
to feel safe, confident and connected
for happiness to show up and stay?

Then it’s time to tap into your body’s powerful tools and wisdom to rebalance and restore.

I believe that the people we need come into our lives for a reason, usually when we’re ready for big shifts. If you’ve found yourself here on my profile, feeling a pull to connect it’s likely not a coincidence. I’d love to hear from you and look forward to joining you on the path to finding a deeper sense of internal harmony and overall wellbeing.

Working online allows me to connect with clients from wherever I am and in the setting of their choice. When possible, I travel to the Cape, Johannesburg and Bloemfontein and can arrange in-person sessions for those who would like this option.

Lyttelton Manor, Centurion, Gauteng

As a Registered Psychological Counsellor with a special interest in trauma, stress and anxiety, I suspected early on in my career that addressing the mind and emotions in isolation is a good start, but only addresses part of the issue.

Trauma and stress starts in the body and affects us on at least three levels: Cognitive (believe system and self-talk), emotional, as well as physical (body memory and influx of stress hormones). The feedback I received from my clients stated that they were feeling much better after the counselling, but that they “could still feel it in their bodies.”

Taking the feedback very seriously, I went in search of a tool that I could use to also provide release on a physical level. Coming across TRE, I instinctively knew that this was the tool that I have been looking for – not just for my clients, but also for myself. TRE addresses issues in a holistic way – not trying to separate mind and body from each other.

What excites me most about TRE is that it is an empowering modality. The skills are passed on to the client and become part of their coping structure.

Cheryl enjoyed a corporate career in the areas of marketing, business consulting, training and development. Since then she has immersed herself in somatic therapies for her own and others’ healing at all levels of body-mind. In her work as a teacher of the Alexander Technique (which provides a practice for consciously owning, being content in, moving happily with one’s body), she realised that severe stress and deep trauma sometimes interfered with a client’s ability to come to the still and clear space required to make decisions, set directions or maintain their attention on what was most important to them. Even with the best intentions to increase awareness and be present in the moment one can feel blocked from being fully in touch with oneselve.

TRE® enables people to safely release built-up and long-held tensions which, consequently, opens them up to new possibilities for living healthily, improving their relationship with their bodies and taking responsibility for their well-being. Cheryl facilitates this process for individuals and groups.

I’ve learnt that our bodies keep the score, expressing exactly where we are at the time. My experience of paralysing misalignment pointed straight to a deep pattern of self-betrayal, and a debilitating denial of my own intrinsic worth. Some deep personal work has slowly ushered me back to my core. After years of peeling off the masks, I wrote and published an autobiography: Unlocked – A Journey Inward To Utter Truth, spreading the message of living authentically.

When I came across TRE®, it grabbed me with both hands. After only a few sessions the change was tangible. It is the simplest, most profoundly-transformative technique that I’ve used to date, both personally and professionally. It’s taken a golden thread and stitched together years of healing, freeing my body from persistent tension patterns and enabling me to embody my natural way of being.

It’s wonderful to be able to offer this modality to individuals who are ready to shake off the layers that are holding them hostage. TRE® addresses anything from daily stress to deep behavioural patterns and traumas, bringing the possibility of renewed awakening and wellbeing. I offer both individual sessions and group sessions, in-person and online. As more people benefit from TRE®, the ripple effect of global healing extends through families, communities, countries and beyond, creating a more compassionate and connected world. With many years of facilitation experience, the support I offer during the TRE® process is multi-dimensional.

My aim is to create a safe and supportive space so that your body can do what it does best. Heal. Through the facilitation, you will be equipped with a technique that you can reach for whenever you feel the need to recalibrate and re-balance.

I was in my early 40’s when I already had four failed marriages, jumping from one relationship to another, craving acceptance. Being a binge drinker I thought it was the best thing ever, feel lost…have a drink…feeling alone…have a drink…need to be the life of the party….just drink. 

After studying Psychology I realised that I did not want to listen to other people’s issues. About two years ago stumbled across a TRE® provider (not knowing exactly what it was), but was certain that this needed to be my calling….”fixing people”. Needless to say it was never about fixing people…I needed to be “fixed”. 

I searched the internet for hours trying to understand TRE® and looking for a trainer. Barbara Kuppers was the very person who responded to me and she invited me to come for a private session. I knew that this is what I wanted to do, however my binge drinking got in the way. I never qualified after my first three months, neither did I qualify the second time. I decided to quit drinking. 

Together with my own work and this amazing body-based process my life transformed. I no longer crave alcohol, I don’t crave acceptance, I don’t feel numb or disconnected. Before TRE® “Just one more drink” “I’ll stop tomorrow” “I’m just so stressed” “I need something to deal with the pain and anxiety”. After TRE “I haven’t laughed like that since I was a child” “I feel so much better – I haven’t cried like that in years” “Something feels like it’s shifted” “I was craving at the start of the session – that’s gone now” “I don’t feel the withdrawals as badly” “Something feels like its released” “I felt like I could let go”.

Third time second module student in TRE® training…I qualified with a very patient trainer. I have a beautiful practice set up in Alberton and now love working with people and helping them live a much fuller life

I have found TRE® to be an excellent modality for the treatment and relief of trauma, stress and tension, as well as healing from injuries. 

After suffering for many years from Fibromyalgia and Sciatica, TRE® has helped me immensely in my own journey towards healing. 

I firmly believe that TRE® can help you as well.

I always believed that the body is an incredibly powerful tool that can heal itself, it’s constantly sending messages on what’s happening physically/mentally, and emotionally which we often ignore. This leads to dis-ease that can manifest as stress/anxiety/chronic illnesses and more. This has proven to be true as I learn more about the body, from my own experiences, those witnessed in loved ones, and clients I’ve had the privilege to facilitate TRE® for.

In 2012 I made a conscious decision to stop being a victim, I knew that there must be more to life than what I had experienced thus far. I invested more time, money, and energy in my personal development, taking up courses/workshops from various local and international teachers, and experienced great shifts in my life. My soul is at its happiest when I am engaging in work that inspires, empowers, and transforms people’s lives enabling them to live happier and better lives, this led to the birth of Liifa in 2019.

Prior to this, I held several senior management positions within digital/social media & CRM data agencies in SA which came with its own stress and trauma that TRE® helped me release and recover fromTRE® helped me with a severe shoulder and neck pain I had for years and released knots from accumulated tension held on my back, it has thus become the core of my practice.

As a facilitator, my aim is to create a safe, supportive space for you and your body to Remember and Re-learn how to use your body to heal itself bringing balance, more joy, peace, harmony, and freedom in your life. I also assist in TRE® training and research projects.

I offer online and in-person 1-on-1, couples, and group TRE® sessions.

Having been an active person with a healthy appetite for exercise as well as good nourishing food; all my life I could not quite comprehend the constant physical pains and IBS symptoms I permanently lived with; the attacks of IBS often resulted in depression or anxiety.

The feeling that there was a deeper reason for all of this was always at the back of my mind as I was very aware that the body was affecting my mind or my mind was affecting my body. I was looking for more than medication in order to just control the symptoms.

TRE has been a life changing process for me; it changed me personally on a physical and mental level. I no longer live with IBS and aches and pains.

This has lead me to working deeper with clients to release what is stored, the transformation is a constant wonder. Meeting clients for the first time and guiding them through their journey only to meet the true individual once we have released what has been stored. We all have a story and we know it; the key is to prevent the body from keeping the score and living a connected life.

My process has allowed me to connect to a better me both mentally and physically giving me a passion for helping others to live a better quality of life.

My realisation over several years of using different modalities to manage my stress and trauma was like putting a plaster on a wound which would repeatedly flare up.

I was introduced to the TRE® process which has supported my body to release stress and trauma from the inside out…. No need for a plaster anymore!  The TRE® process has made me “feel alive” again after many years of feeling numb.

I resonate with the TRE® process and feel passionate about self-empowering clients. The TRE® process is for all who would like to claim their power back to live a life in which you manage your everyday tension and stress.

Since my certification as TRE provider, I have immersed myself in healing work and use both a somatic and trauma-informed approach in my facilitation and coaching. The deep wisdom of somatic practitioner Resmaa Menakem summarises the lens through which I view the world, and approach my work:
“Trauma decontextualized in a person looks like personality.”
“Trauma decontextualized in a family looks like family traits.”
“Trauma decontextualised in a people looks like culture [bodies of culture].”

One of the strongest touchstones of my work is the idea that we cannot sustainably change behaviour or relationships, until we change our neuro-physical state. Mainstream approaches to healing have historically only focused on the narrative and have in my view had very limited success. Unhealed trauma results in repetition compulsion, a term coined by Jung and suggests that what is not healed will be repeated; we are living in such a world. Until we offer an integrated, holistic approach to healing, which involves the body, we cannot hope to unstick from our reactive, survival patterns and poor mental and physical health. TRE offers us a pathway to reset.

My psychology degrees and training in the trauma field have been paralleled by my life experiences. One of the most challenging events of my childhood was a facial dog bite at the age of nine. This event left with post-traumatic stress disorder and nerve damage. Later, I developed a misaligned jaw, which became extreme after two whiplash injuries in adulthood. Jaw surgery left me with a visibly crooked midline and did not resolve the pain, although it prevented further mechanical deterioration.

In learning to manage pain and nurture healing, I’ve delved deep into current knowledge about trauma and the nervous system. I’ve also trialled many practical approaches and products to identify those that are most helpful and accessible. My personal experience has given me deeper insight into trauma and recovery than I could have gained academically.

In addition, my master degree was focused on personal resilience. All of my degrees were awarded with distinction: • BA (English) – Unisa 1995 • BA Honours (psychology) – Unisa 1996 • MA (research psychology) – Wits 2006

I began my TRE® journey when my life unexpectedly took a completely different course. I have dealt with trauma and stress and TRE® has completely transformed my life. I strongly believe in the bodies own ability to heal itself and thus the magic of TRE®. I believe it is essential to optimum health, both mentally and physically.

I have always had a deep desire to help people, and when I saw how TRE® changed me and helped me in all ways from my body pains, relationship stress, decision making, dealing with people and daily life stressors I was sold. I have experience with clients who struggle with addiction and domestic violence.

TRE® has given me a tool I never thought possible to deal with situations I never could have imagined. My desire is to share this power, health, stress release and vitality with others. It’s taught me to let go, and leave the past behind. It is possible.

Each of us has experienced stress, tension, and trauma in our lives. Over time this is compounded and starts to manifest in a variety of ways, including deep muscular tension patterns, anxiety, panic attacks, sleep difficulties, depression, gut issues, allergies, and disease.

At Frequency, we work together to facilitate the body’s natural ability to resolve these issues; to restore safety in the body and to regulate the nervous system. We do this by using a combination of modalities and techniques, including Kinesiology, Tension & Trauma Release Exercises, Emmett Technique and Neuro-Gastro-Enterology.

Both onsite and virtual sessions are available.

I have a Diploma in Bible Study for Ministry as well as a diploma in Christian Counseling. I worked in a corporate environment for 21 years and at the end of 2019 I took an early retirement package with the intention of eventually finding another job that was not in the Corporate environment anymore. I am so grateful for the timing of that early retirement offer! 

About 12 years ago I was invited to a group session for someone that was training to be a TRE® Provider and it was fascinating. I only had one session, but it made such an impact that I had that experience in the back of my mind for a long time and I subscribed to a TRE® newsletter to keep up to date with what was happening. 

In 2020 I enrolled to become a Certified TRE® Provider and what an exciting journey this has been. I am passionate about helping people to help themselves and hope this is exactly what I will be doing for the years to come. 

I believe we are all destined for greatness and the potential to complete healing and wholeness lies within each one of us. For me it is important to know what kind of atmosphere we carry and to always know what it feels like to be at peace. My peaceful atmosphere is what I have to offer my clients to help them feel safe. I am grateful to be part of a process where I can facilitate someone’s healing, restoration and re-connecting to their beautiful essence.

“Since my first awakening, a million years ago, to the incredible ability of the body to heal itself, I was in awe and knew instinctively there was no turning back; I was destined to be a therapist and intuitively accepted the responsibility to facilitate this process with whatever means available.

I embarked, bright-eyed, on a lifelong journey of studying the theory of and practicing several therapies. One very convenient advantage of my studying a variety of healing therapies is that I could experience the benefits of each first-hand. I am able to apply a unique set of tools for each client to match his / her individual needs.

My toolbox consists of Reflexology, Kinesiology, Active Isolated Stretching, Mindfulness, Iridology, Homeopathy, Chinese Acupuncture and Nutrition, Reiki and Osteopathic Massage. Through the years I became increasingly aware of the inseparable relationship between body and mind and that the one cannot be treated efficiently without implying the other.

I discovered TRE® and was thrilled to watch the beautiful dance between body and mind and the delicate unknown and especially the incredible wisdom of the body to be able to regulate exactly what the individual is ready to release. There is nothing I love more than to provide a safe space for a client to mindfully connect with and integrate the healthy and wounded parts of his being in order to become the whole, wonderful living soul he / she was destined to be.

I am an Occupational Therapist, specialising in acute adult psychiatry and a partner in a private practice situated at Denmar Specialist Psychiatric Hospital in Pretoria. TRE® sessions form part of our voluntary occupational group therapy programme. My passion is experiential group therapy, including psychodrama (I love being the giraffe…)

TRE® is the safest point of entry into a therapeutic programme for our mostly overwhelmed, anxious clients. TRE® sets the tone for a safe environment to start the healing journey, it supports experiences in other group sessions and with other professionals and it also provides the best opportunity to celebrate the growth experienced on returning to society.

I am a qualified Social Worker who has always been interested in helping people. In my career I have dealt with trauma, abuse, neglect. I have seen the devastation in ruined lives. Broken people in a broken world. All people that could live their best lives, if only they knew about TRE.

I stumbled onto TRE at a time the world needed it most – the Covid 19 pandemic – without a clear clue about the world it would open for me. I am fascinated and thankful. I am striving to help better people’s lives by introducing them to TRE.

I knew that stress and trauma could accelerate the onset of ill-health, but I never fully realized what the effect could be until it became part of my own journey. After becoming a victim of the South African crime statistics in 2017 I experienced the physical and psychological effects of trauma at first hand. That was how TRE was introduced to me and the effect of this modality was mind-blowing. I was intrigued by the immediate results and the effect of the TRE and that was how my journey started.

Training to be a provider and experiencing the effects of TRE over the past two years not only helped me physically and emotionally, but transformed my life and changed my outlook on rehabilitation completely. The body has an amazing mechanism and ability to facilitate its own healing and well- being.

I am a registered Biokineticist since 1994 and have extensive experience with the physical rehabilitation of cardiac, pulmonary, orthopaedic and metabolic-related patients over the last 25 years. I have always worked in an environment where clients are helped through rehabilitation to recover after they had experienced medical procedures, accidents or illness- related conditions.

I provide TRE to individuals and in group sessions and can assist people with medical conditions in particular. TRE is an amazing modality that not only changed my own life; I incorporate it in my working environment helping clients who are referred for physical rehabilitation. TRE, as a self-help modality, should be taught to every person to use as a means of stress management and release as well as a healing tool.

I am in total awe of the human body. For the last 10 years I have been guiding people through Yoga movement, finding ways to move with more ease and less force. The nervous system is an integral part of yoga where breathing is KEY, so it was inevitable that I stumbled onto TRE®.

The knowledge that there is a tool out there that can help us cope with trauma and stress in a positive, forever way, by simply stimulating the relaxation response and allowing our bodies to help heal themselves, well – I still find that mindblowing. 

I facilitate TRE® sessions with adults and children and am in the process of studying The Roll Model Method where one uses soft balls – along the fascia lines – to create better connection between the bodies soft tissue and the brain. This adds an extra tool that can be used to help the body get the best from TRE® sessions.

20 years after a near fatal car accident I found TRE which provided a way to manage my residual aches and pains, when I needed it. Re-alignment, sense of wellbeing and emotional balance were all a welcomed additional surprise. In my practice I have helped clients with muscular tension and those strained by daily stresses or feeling generally overwhelmed.

I work with people who feel burnt out: 
– They feel stuck and unappreciated by others 
– They want to have better relationships with their partner, parents, children, bosses and themselves . 
– They often never have time to take care of themselves and are so busy doing a thousand things for everyone else. 
– Life feels weighted down with low levels constant anxiety, stress, depletion, overwhelm. 
– They often feel helpless or hopeless – like a victim of circumstances beyond their control. 
– Feel guilty taking care of themselves 

They want more joy, connection, fulfilment, ease and flow in their lives. 
This was me. 

After earning my degree in Psychology and Sociology, I got married, had three children and entered the accounting business world. By 2006, I stood exhausted and depleted, at the end of my marriage and estranged from my children. 

My family needed healing. I needed healing. 

I asked myself: “What if I could free myself from anxiety, worry and exhaustion?” “What if I learned to set boundaries, speak up for what I need, and started really trusting myself?” 

And so began my research and training journey. I got training in mind-body connection and body-based healing techniques including coaching, EFT, Access Bars and Meditation. In 2015 I was introduced to TRE® and the personal transformation that occurred for me convinced me to quality as a TRE® Provider in 2021. 

I now have a whole toolbox of somatic ways to interact with my feelings, honour, and process them. And life is so much better. My relationships are now more connected and joyous because TRE® works on your inner world, and as that changes, your outer world changes too. You are not stuck or broken. You have the power to heal. Learning this safe, effective process you will feel comfortable and safe in your own body – trusting it to lead the way. I offer in-person 1-on-1, couples, and group TRE® sessions.

I began my TRE® journey, naively thinking I am going to learn a few  basics (blindly underrated by myself) and maybe make one or two small changes in my life. 

Initially I did TRE® for a physical injury. It brought substantial relief and I felt that it was wonderful for my physical body. I soon realized that there is more to TRE® than what only the body can feel and, excited about my new discovery, decided to do the course to become a TRE® Provider. 

Little did I know that my entire life was going to change and that I was going to slowly, and with commitment to my complicated and difficult journey, reconnect with myself both physically and emotionally,  and heal more aspects of myself than I ever anticipated.

For more than 12 years (ongoing), I have been working with a group of specialized doctors that I have carefully selected, offering medical management to South Africans injured while working abroad. We provide medical care until the patients reach MMI (Maximum Medical Improvement).

Several years ago I was diagnosed with Orthostatic Tremors and the diagnosis was confirmed by a second Neurologist. My life changed dramatically – most basic tasks were found to be difficult and my body did not respond well to the different therapies and medications. At that time I was seeing an Endocrinologist and he, knowing what I did for a living, suggested TRE and that I become a TRE Provider.

Life happened, I was very busy, and I tried managing the Orthostatic Tremors with more medication and alternative treatments.

Then, with perfect timing I started my TRE journey, and what a fabulous journey it still is. My quality of life has improved and I have a much deeper compassion for people and their needs.

So when you are ready, and the timing is just right, I would love to meet you.
