What began as an unexpected introduction to TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) during my recovery from injury became a journey of healing, self-discovery, and a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection. Now, as a Certified TRE Provider, I'm excited to share this practice through ACE CoLab, bringing new opportunities for stress relief, nervous system regulation, and well-being to my local community and beyond.
A few years ago, I first read Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow. I had recently been introduced to the concept of “flow state” and was fascinated by it. I wanted to study and learn how to achieve it, particularly to help me overcome my fears in whitewater kayaking and to reach higher performance goals in my skiing. … Continue reading Finding Flow: Creating a Life Worth Being Fully Present For
For most of my life, I planned everything. Then life reminded me that even the best-laid plans don't always work out. After a hip injury and a six-week road trip through the West, I discovered that some of life's greatest adventures aren't the ones we carefully plan—they're the ones we never see coming.

Curious about TRE? Learn what happens during a session, how natural tremoring supports nervous system regulation, and what to expect in upcoming ACE CoLab workshops. This guide explains the TRE process, common responses, and how private or group sessions can help release stress, tension, and stored patterns in the body.
TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a body-based practice that helps release stored stress and regulate the nervous system. By activating the body’s natural tremor response, this gentle somatic approach can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, release muscle tension, support recovery, and promote a greater sense of calm and balance.
Stress doesn’t live only in the mind — it lives in the body. Tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, shallow breathing, and chronic tension are often signs that the nervous system has been carrying more stress than it can comfortably process. TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a simple series of movements designed to activate the body’s natural tremor response, helping release deep muscular tension and support nervous system regulation. By allowing the body to access a built-in stress-release mechanism, TRE offers a gentle, body-based approach to restoring balance and resilience.
