“I found both theory and practice very helpful. The atmosphere in the group was relaxing, open and supportive.  Having several trainers and trainees gave the workshop a personal and safe touch.  The location with the lovely and quiet garden, in the heart of lovely Edinburgh, backed up the positive impression and made it into an overall nurturing experience.  Thanks to everyone.”

“TRE® took me on a wonderful journey. It helped me reconnect with my body and make better choices - because I now listen to myself.”

“Heading back home after my first meetup and experience of TRE. Was an amazing feeling and I’m eager to do more. I feel a calmness which doesn’t happen to me often. Thank you.”

“I found all instructors and assistant friendly, approachable, responsive and I felt safe and engaged (except when asleep – but was also engaged by being encouraged that my state was okay and welcomed awake or asleep) Excellent.”

“…It was a very worthwhile course and I learned a lot. Thank you to you both for being engaging and ‘available’ teachers. Thanks”

“I have always known that my traumas would continue to haunt me. That they would probably never really be resolved, however, I feel that I have found, that in TRE I may be able to finally start the (or rather continue) the process of coming to terms with my traumas.”

“This was a brilliant 3 days and I learned a lot (more) about myself”

“My only previous experience of TRE was with David Berceli and I planned to do my whole certification in the USA. I am so delighted you are here and I found you. Your entire workshop presentation was fantastic and exceeded my expectations. Thank you.”

Thank you also for today. I really enjoyed it. I’m being aware of all sorts of things happening within my body at all different times. It’s amazing!It was a pleasure to meet you. I’m very grateful to you for your time and for teaching me this wonderful ability.

“Working with Vicki has been so important to me. Through the shaking and her gentle, consistent, holding presence, I have been able to connect with my body and listen to its messages. Her patient understanding and body knowledge have allowed to me make changes in my life which have resulted in a lessening of my symptoms. It has been vital to me that Vicki has gone at my pace, understanding the effects of the early life and intergenerational traumas that have left a scar on my body and my psyche. She has helped me find a tenderness to my physical being that has been hard for me to attain before. I feel so glad to have found Vicki at this stage in my life. ”

This was a very valuable training session as it developed my understanding of the mind/body connection and even though it wouldn’t allow me to practice this technique with my clients, it certainly opened a lot of doors for me, with regards to the knowledge that it served me with. It’s definitely a technique that I benefitted from personally and if I thought this may be helpful to a particular client, in future then I would certainly discuss this with them and give them a reference point to explore this further for themselves

Will use this technique in my personal life - Really appreciated how open the facilitator was about her life and experience. All the information was very clearly articulated and presented and she was also very transparent about what was her opinion/belief as opposed to evidence-based. Great atmosphere, I felt very well held and would recommend it as an experience and as an interesting perspective on how trauma might be worked through in the body.

It was a really interesting and enjoyable workshop. Really enjoyed the day! - I found the workshop incredible, I had a very powerful experience. I thought it was very well articulated and presented, it was fascinating to learn about and I look forward to observing the effects it has on me personally.I felt very safe and held by Vicki; she was open, honest and passionate. I felt the structure of the day was great as it left lots of time to process our experience and talk to each other about it.

Very interesting to explore more of the physical aspects of trauma and the impact the stress response has for potentially chronic problems, both physically and emotionally. Encouraged by how such a simple technique can potentially have a significant positive impact on people suffering from trauma. As a tool which can be easily taught to individuals to use, the ability to take some control of a situation which may feel out of control could also be powerful
