Who We Are at Somatic Theology
Somatic Theology integrates evidence-based somatic practices with the Christian contemplative tradition to help individuals release stress, regulate the body, and encounter God in stillness, breath, and movement.
"The body, in fact, and only the body, is capable of making visible what is invisible: the spiritual and the divine. It has been created to transfer into the visible reality of the world the mystery hidden from eternity in God, and thus to be a sign of it" TOB 19:4
Our Services
Trauma Release Exercise (TRE®) Session
Release stress and trauma through a series of simple, gentle exercises that cause natural shaking or vibrating reflex.
What is TRE®?
TRE® (or Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a proven modality used in over 60 countries. The simple yet innovative series of exercises activates a neurogenic tremor reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma, immediately calming the nervous system and inducing deep relaxation.
As this involuntary tremor reflex does not require conscious control of the mind or body, it allows anyone to access and embody deeper somatic awareness and connection - even those who struggle with other relaxation techniques, such as meditation. With proper training and practice, this technique is safe, natural, and can be used daily.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Traumatic Release Exercises (TRE®)?
TRE® refers to a set of seven exercises that activate your natural neurogenic tremor reflex mechanism. This causes areas of your body to shake or vibrate for a period of time, releasing deeply held muscular patterns of tension. As this tension is release from your body, your brain produces hormones that calm the nervous system and create feelings of deep peace and well-being. When practiced regularly, TRE® helps prevent stress and tension levels from building up in the body over time, allowing us to increase our resilience and capacity.
Is TRE® suitable for everyone?
TRE® is generally safe for most people, but it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or severe trauma.
What should I expect during a TRE® session?
Sessions involve a series of gentle exercises to fatigue the leg muscles, which then initiates a natural tremor mechanism. Our practitioner will guide you safely through the process.
How many TRE® sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs and goals. Many clients experience benefits within a few sessions, with ongoing practice leading to deeper healing.
Do you offer online TRE® sessions?
Yes, we offer both in-person and online/virtual TRE® sessions to provide flexibility and accessibility for our clients across the USA.
How long does a TRE® session take?
TRE® sessions take anywhere from 60-75 minutes.
Empowering healing and well-being with a Christian mind frame.
