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.

“Wendy Scurr is a qualified educator who has spent 25 wonderful years working within primary and secondary education, teaching learners of all ages. Her passion for struggling learners took a new turn when she started using Tension Release Exercise (TRE®) as a tool to assist these learners. The results were phenomenal and long lasting, and TRE® soon became her tool of choice. Her keen interest in assisting the body and mind to heal led Wendy to qualify as a Quantum Energy Coach (QEC) in 2013. She has recently been appointed as the South African supervisor for QEC practitioners.
Wendy offers both TRE and QEC sessions ONLINE and is able to combine her skills to devise the best treatment plan for each client, attending to their individual and unique needs. TRE® and QEC complement each other in a wonderfully holistic way – assisting clients along the road to renewed health and wellness.”

Frances Ward is a registered counsellor (PRC 0013668), specialising in addiction and trauma treatment. She has more than a decade experience in this field.
She has been offering online TRE® sporadically for years as many of her clients who are attending South African rehabs would return to their country of origin. This extension of face to face TRE® often assisted them with the transition to doing TRE® in their homes by themselves.
Frances is also offering ONLINE TRE® GROUPS
Monday 1715 – 1830 open to the public who’ve done TRE® before.
Thursday 1715 – 1830 for health care providers who’ve done TRE® before. Booking required for both groups, please contact her.
If you can gather a group together Frances will run closed groups too. Clients feedback their appreciation of tremoring at home whilst being held virtually.

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 offering TRE® ONLINE – Gently release old and recent tensions in the comfort of your home

TRE® has expanded my perception and my ability to do my work and to live my life more fully.
I am passionate about this work because the gifts of all people, in the unique expression of who they are, are absolutely essential to create the changes we need to see in the world – and not everyone is aware of the precious gifts they are endowed with.
Some feel stuck, some just want to move forward but aren’t sure where or how and just need some support and encouragement, a talking partner, a cheer leader, a new perspective, reframing to see themselves and to see the next step to their own destiny and greatness. For some, stress and trauma experienced in childhood, adolescence or adulthood, can lead to illness, depression or simply to getting stuck and not finding the way out of a difficult life situation.
TRE® provides a way forward as our bodies shake off and release deep seated – or more recent – stress and trauma. When TRE® is combined with the presence of a present, compassionate and supportive provider, the experience is multiplied!
Leadership for life coaching and TRE contribute to a person’s living a life of personal integrity and to a world where we live together in mutual acceptance of our differences.
I work ONLINE in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Norwegian, face-to-face or online, individually or in small groups.

My passion for people and teaching stems from many years as an educator. After being introduced to TRE®, and through my own personal journey, I realised what a powerful, life changing tool it can be. The desire to share this knowledge motivated further study to qualify as an Advanced TRE® Provider and I continue to interact and share new knowledge about TRE with colleagues both locally and internationally.
In the spirit of ‘giving back’ to the community, I have worked on community-based projects in Somerset West (including Rape Crisis, Patch, Hospice, Child Welfare, Compassionate Friends). The focus was to assist ‘front-liners’ who are confronted daily with people in crisis and who, because of the stressful nature of this work, are often impacted by their own vicarious trauma.
TRE® sessions are offered either face-face or online to individuals, couples and groups. During one-on-one TRE® sessions the pace is adapted to the needs the individual and I feel privileged to be part of each client’s healing journey.
Another option which some people prefer is to join a 6-week Introductory TRE® course, which I periodically offer for small groups of 3-5 people. This course builds confidence and an understanding of the basic concepts as well as emphasising self-regulation so that clients can successfully incorporate and use TRE® to cope with the stressful demands of their day-to-day life.
Over the years that I have taught and facilitated TRE®, I have been constantly amazed and excited by the incredible shifts and changes that my clients have experienced, usually within a short period of time. As witness to similar positive changes in many clients, I remain motivated to continue sharing this hugely empowering technique.

“As a life coach specialising in the field of recovery from addiction, I soon noticed that with many people entering recovery, there is past trauma. In fact, the very nature of a substance using lifestyle is traumatic. This trauma was getting in the way of change.
Enter TRE®.
To recover requires being open to learning new life skills and practicing these, and when the body mind is in a state of tension/trauma, new learning is virtually impossible. That’s where TRE® comes in, in that the process gradually brings people out of the survival response into the thrive response, and real change has a chance of taking hold.
Recovery is sustained by creating a life worth staying clean for, and in this respect I encourage an approach informed by Integral theory, positive psychology, as well as more traditional approaches. All of which become more easily available once the nervous system gentles down through TRE® practice.”

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 learnt more about the body, from my own experiences, those witnessed in my loved ones and clients I’ve had the privilege to facilitate TRE® for and through energy healing work.
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, this led to the birth of Liifa in 2019.
Prior, 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 from. TRE® helped me with a severe shoulder and neck pain I had for years and released knots from the accumulated tension held on my back.
I love that TRE® compliments other modalities from Breathwork, energy healing/clearing, reiki and more.
As a facilitator my aim is to create a safe, supportive space for you and your body to Remember, Re-learn how to use your body to heal itself bringing balance, more joy, peace, harmony, and freedom in your life.
I offer online individual, couples, group TRE® sessions, facilitate personal development workshops/programs to help people shed old emotions, limiting beliefs enabling them to live to their full potential.

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.
