Service Description

Trauma and chronic stress are often stored not just in the mind—but in the body. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, fatigue, muscle tightness, sleep issues, and emotional overwhelm. **TRE® (Trauma Releasing Exercises)** is a simple yet powerful somatic practice that helps the body naturally release this tension through a series of gentle movements that activate neurogenic tremors—a natural shaking mechanism that resets the nervous system. At **Evolving Minds**, TRE is offered by **Nick Kientsch**, a trauma-informed practitioner with **over 30 years of meditation experience** and **7 years as a Buddhist monk**. Nick brings a deeply grounded, calming presence to every session, creating a safe space where your body can unwind, release, and begin to heal. ### What is TRE? TRE® was developed by Dr. David Berceli and is designed to help the body discharge stored stress and trauma through a natural shaking response. These tremors originate from deep within the core and serve to calm the nervous system, restore resilience, and promote emotional and physical wellbeing. The exercises are simple and accessible, making them suitable for all bodies. Over time, TRE can: - Reduce anxiety and tension - Improve sleep and mood - Relieve muscular pain and stiffness - Support trauma healing and emotional release - Deepen your connection to your body and breath ### Nick’s Unique Approach Nick integrates TRE with his background in **mindfulness, meditation, and somatic healing**. His sessions are **client-led and body-informed**, helping you feel supported and in control every step of the way. Drawing from his training in: - **Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE)** - **Biodynamic massage** - **Reiki therapy** - **Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)** - **Lucid dreaming for trauma integration** …Nick creates a truly holistic experience, supporting the release of trauma not only physically, but also emotionally and energetically. Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, daily stress, or simply want to feel more connected and present, TRE can offer a profound shift—quietly and gently. Your Journey Starts Here Sessions are available 1-to-1 and can be integrated into a broader program of mindfulness coaching or body-based therapy. TRE is not about talking through your trauma—it’s about trusting the body’s innate wisdom to heal itself. Let your body shake off the past—and step into a lighter, more grounded future.
