I knew that stress and trauma could accelerate the onset of ill health, but I never realised the effect until it became part of my own journey. After becoming a victim of the South African crime statistics in 2017 I experienced first hand the physical and psychological effects of Trauma. That was how TRE was introduced to me and the effect of this modality was mind blowing. I was so intrigued about 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 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’m a registered Biokineticist since 1994 and has extensive experience with physical rehabilitation of cardiac, pulmonary, orthopaedic and metabolic related patients over the last 30 years. I have always worked in an environment where especially older patients or clients had to helped through rehabilitation to recover or improve after they had either medical procedures, accidents or any illness related conditions.

I provide TRE to individuals, group sessions and can assist especially with people with medical conditions. I have been fortunate to form part of a Rheumatologist rehabilitation team and use TRE as treatment modality to help lessen pain in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis, Fibromyalgia and Lupus(SLE) patients. We also do TRE for  company executives in the private sector to help increase their stress resilience and overall wellbeing and productivity.

TRE is an amazing modality that not only altered my own life but I incorporate this physical modality in my working environment as I work daily with patients and clients who are referred for physical rehabilitation. TRE as self help modality, should be taught to every person to use as a stress management and release as well as healing tool.
