Unlock profound and lasting healing opportunities in your clinical or coaching practice through our transformative online training.
Chronic stress, tension, and trauma accumulate in the body over time, worsening existing health conditions and creating new physical, cognitive, and psycho-emotional symptoms. As our world becomes more hectic and challenging, we need innovative tools to help us restore balance and harmony in mind, body, and spirit.
TRE® is a globally recognized somatic process that is unique in its ability to provide immediate and lasting relief from the symptoms of chronic stress.

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.
Our comprehensive certification program is offered on a flexible pay-as-you-go basis, allowing you to access the training you need at the time best for you and your practice. Each payment includes your full module tuition along with the associated supervised sessions.
Please note: additional supervision may be required for some trainees.
Greetings,
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Certified TRE® Provider. Incorporating TRE® into your personal and professional life will open new possibilities!
Our certification program will prepare you to teach TRE® safely, responsibly, and professionally. Additionally, we require that our trainees experience the depth of personal healing, re-balancing, and tension releasing that is possible through this somatic process.
TRE® integrates well with traditional therapeutic modalities because it supports healing at the deepest levels of the neuro-physiology, where traumatic “fear” responses originate. Some individuals recovering from chronic stress, anxiety, or trauma may have deep emotional and psychosomatic issues that need professional guidance.
Although I originally designed TRE® as a self-help technique for large traumatized populations, it is becoming widely accepted as a somatic tool for mental health and health care professionals. In those cases, TRE® should not be considered as a stand-alone method, but would be better included in a therapeutic session where the client can receive proper guidance along with those releases.
If you are seeking a somatic technique to enrich your healing practice, there are many unique qualities that would make TRE® a good choice for you. If you are NOT a professional healthcare provider but you still want to learn how to share TRE® with your family and community, the TRE® certification process will give you the competency to do so.
The management of stress and the healing of trauma are challenging issues that face each of us daily. TRE® offers a revolutionary approach and a teachable technique to aid each of us individually and as a larger community.
We look forward to your joining the TRE® provider family!

"I signed up for the TRE training to add a somatic component to my therapy practice as I had been learning a lot about the role of working with the body in healing from traumatic experiences. TRE training with Alex and Ellen has not only added to my confidence in helping clients to regulate their nervous system, but I have been able to incorporate TRE practice into my own self-care routine as well. The supervision component of the training has been invaluable in learning and gaining confidence in how to adapt TRE teaching to each client's individual needs and personality. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to learn about and incorporate the body's natural healing mechanisms into their personal and professional life."
“Module 1 led by Alex Greene and Ellen McKenzie was fantastic. As the timing of life typically is, TRE was introduced into my life quite perfectly! I experienced some deep emotional release and new levels of physical relaxation within myself. And I just knew TRE would be a beautiful contributing tool for helping my clients overcome painful sex and vaginismus in particular. I was so happy to learn that the next full online training program was starting in just a couple of weeks!"
"The weekend was really insightful and fun - I learned a ton in a short period of time and took away some valuable resources I can always refer back to. The mix of content delivered visually in the presentations was wonderfully combined with interesting stories, experiential learning, plenty of time for tremoring, sharing of experiences and questions.”
