Body Talk®
Discover the Harmony of Body Talk: A Unique Journey to Wellness.
Welcome to an experience where the mind and body unite to restore your mental and physical health.
Through a unique blend of body work and talk therapy, I invite you to embark on a journey that reconnects you with your true self. With years of experience as a midwife, body worker, TRE practitioner and counsellor I have developed a unique approach that nurtures the intricate relationship between your body, mind and spirit.
Imagine a safe space where your body can share its stories—its implicit memories and the whispers of past experiences.
BodyTalk is designed to help you explore and integrate these narratives, enriching your understanding of yourself and your relationships with others.
When the mind and body communicate harmoniously, you’ll discover a new sense of joy, strength, and resilience allowing you to step into fuller versions of yourself.

TRE
Tension and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) are a simple set of exercises that activate the natural reflex of shaking or stretching which releases muscular tension; calming down the nervous system and relaxing the body and mind.
In our modern-day world, we tend to live our lives “on” we’re busy, always thinking and exposed to stress or stressful situations.
Under stress, your body can become stuck in a fight, flight or freeze response. The body including the muscles, nervous system and cardiovascular activate to make you react quickly in response to danger.
This response can remain in the body long after the experience or event has passed. TRE can reset these patterns/systems by engaging neurogenic movements like shaking or stretching to assist with letting go. Shaking “off” stress is a normal health recovery response, animals’ tremor and shake regularly.
The ability to discharge excess energy from our bodies is a positive recovery resource easily accessed through learning TRE.
TRE helps to calm the body and mind and is often used as a form of deep relaxation and meditation, especially for those individuals who find traditional methods of relaxation difficult. It engages our vagus nerve to help us feel connected and engaged with those around us, bringing our social engagement system online.
Internationally TRE is being used to treat PTSD in combat veterans, build community cohesion in areas after natural disasters, facilitate teamwork in large corporate companies and support emergency first line responders process challenging experiences.
TRE sessions either individually or in groups can teach you how to activate this recovery mechanism in a safe and supportive environment, encouraging the body to return back to a state of balance.
