Arrival
We’ll begin with a short check-in to understand where you’re at and how you’re feeling.
What is TRE®
Tension, Stress & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) is a somatic approach that uses a series of simple exercises to activate the body’s natural tremor response — a gentle shaking or vibrating sensation.
This natural mechanism helps the body release deep patterns of muscle tension related to stress, injury, or trauma, in a safe and controlled way.
As tension releases, the nervous system can begin to settle, allowing the body to return to a state of greater ease, balance, and well-being.
TRE was developed by Dr. David Berceli, and is used worldwide as a self-regulation tool to support ongoing nervous system health.
With regular practice, TRE can support a wide range of physical and emotional benefits.
It may also help develop greater body awareness, supporting a deeper understanding of our emotions and the ways we experience and respond to life.
TRE is designed to be a self-help and empowering tool that, once learned, can be practiced independently and as needed to support ongoing balance and well-being.
TRE is not a substitute for medical or psychological trauma treatment, but it can be a supportive complement to other forms of care, including work with therapists, physiotherapists, or bodyworkers.

How it works
Here’s what you can expect in a TRE session:
Activation
We move through a series of simple exercises, adapted to you, to gently activate different areas of the body.
Tremor
We will invite tremors in the body and allow the process to unfold for up to 15 minutes.
Integration
We’ll close with time to integrate the experience and discuss any questions that come up.
What this work feels like
Adamantia’s loving energy comes across even through email and messaging. She helped me direct my attention towards my body, and checked in with me throughout. I felt relaxed and rejuvenated after all that releasing!
Adamantia made me feel safe, held and deeply seen. She carries this work with a lot of integrity and knowledge. I would 100% recommend working with her.
As I suffer from chronic asthma, Adamantia adapted every exercise according to my own level of comfort and safety. I began to experience relief from back pain, improvement in my digestion, and improved breathing capacity. I am so grateful for working with such a rare human.
I had a session with Adamantia online, as I live in the UK — she made me feel really comfortable and eased me into TRE as it was my first time. She’s highly professional and I couldn’t recommend her more.
Adamantia has a gift for helping others listen to the intelligence of their body. I felt encouraged and safely guided throughout my multiple TRE experiences with her. Working with her has brought me grounding, clarity, and has helped me learn about myself.
Adamantia created a feeling of trust and security, and allowed me to completely let go. At every point I felt safe in the knowledge that she would gently guide me in and out of these intensely felt experiences — both online and in person.
Frequently asked questions
About the Experience
Will I experience strong emotions or a big release?
Each experience with TRE is unique. Some people may notice emotional responses, memories, or a noticeable sense of release during or after a session, while others experience the process more subtly through physical sensations. The body often takes time to build trust and respond gradually. TRE is approached with attention to self-regulation, allowing the process to unfold at a pace that feels manageable and supportive for your system.
What does tremoring feel like?
The experience can vary from person to person. Some people notice gentle shaking, vibrations, warmth, stretching sensations, or emotional release, while others experience the process more subtly. There is no “right” way for the body to respond.
What if my body doesn’t tremor?
Every body responds differently, and there is no “right” way to experience TRE. Some people notice tremors right away, while for others the process unfolds more gradually over time. The absence of tremors does not mean you are doing anything wrong. TRE is approached gently and without force, allowing the body to respond in its own way and timing.
Why begin TRE with a provider?
While the exercises themselves are simple, beginning with guidance can help support a safer and more self-regulated experience. Guided sessions can help you learn the practice gradually, better understand your body’s responses, and develop the confidence to practice independently over time.
Is TRE suitable for everyone?
TRE can be supportive for many people experiencing stress, tension, overwhelm, or a desire to reconnect with their body. However, certain physical or psychological conditions may require additional care or modifications. If you have any concerns, we will discuss them together before beginning.
Is TRE a form of therapy?
TRE is not psychotherapy or talk therapy. It is a body-based practice designed to support the release of stress and tension through the body’s natural tremor mechanism. While emotional experiences may arise during the process, the focus of TRE is on supporting regulation and reconnection through the body.
Practical Details
How do I prepare for the session?
Wear comfortable clothing (such as yoga or gym wear) and bring a bottle of water. If possible, avoid eating a heavy meal beforehand. I’ll provide a mat and any props you may need. It can be helpful to leave some space in your schedule afterward, so the body has time to settle and integrate.
How might I feel after a session?
People respond differently after a session. Some feel more relaxed, grounded, or present, while others may notice tiredness, emotional sensitivity, or increased awareness in the body. Giving yourself some quiet space afterward can help the integration process.
How many sessions will I need?
There’s no fixed number. If you’re new to TRE, 2-5 sessions can help you learn the practice and feel more comfortable with it. From there, it’s flexible — you can continue on your own and come back as needed.
Can I claim this with my health insurance?
At the moment, TRE is not typically covered by health insurance.
What payment methods do you accept?
E-transfer or cash for local sessions. Wise or bank transfer for international clients.
What is your cancellation policy?
You can cancel or reschedule a session at no charge with at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice are subject to a 50% session fee.
