Testimonials
How do people feel about working with me?
I thought I knew all about TRE. I had done plenty of sessions both on my own and with great facilitators. But working with Debbie took things to a whole new level. During every session, I was able to discover and process deep emotions, some of which I didn’t even know were there! This is allowing me to deal with shadow material in a really practical and easy (if sometimes uncomfortable) way. I think what’s special about Debbie is that she has a gift for making you feel safe enough to go to the places you are scared to go, into the cave you fear to enter.. She’s motherly and goddess-like, but not airy-fairy at all. Debbie feels strong and powerful and capable. I recommend her completely and wholeheartedly. xxx
I have worked with Debbie online and in person in both group sessions and one to one. Debbie embodies her expertise, wisdom and deep compassion. I always feel met and held in sessions. Debbies voice is so reassuring and clear and the gentleness and care often brings me to tears. My body has felt safe enough for strong emotions to move through during many sessions. I always feel grounded and rested after a session and my nervous system more deeply regulated. I whole heartedly recommend working with Debbie...
I have been practicing TRE for close to 2 years now and I thought I understood everything I needed to know about TRE, but I was wrong. Working with Debbie these past few months has opened my eyes to new techniques and new ways of seeing TRE and its benefits. She is a truly intuitive, compassionate and knowledgeable teacher. She uses the depth of her own lived experience and her grounding presence to create a wonderfully supportive learning environment, even over Zoom. Don’t miss the opportunity to work with this gifted woman.
Debbie is one of the most skillful facilitators of anything, let alone TRE, that I’ve ever encountered! She has a gentle, compassionate presence and attunes beautifully to her clients. I really believe there is no one better from which to learn the practice of TRE. I could not recommend Debbie enough. She is a treasure.
Debbie is by far the best TRE provider I have had the good fortune to receive sessions from. She is intuitive, perceptive and warm and the support she offers is wise and encouraging in a way that instils trust and confidence in the process.
Debbie creates a safe and relaxing space for learning and practicing TRE. I have done both the small group and one-to-one sessions over zoom. She is a very intuitive guide who put me at ease as I was beginning this practice. She showed me ways to move the tremors up my body, so I can more gently process trauma. She encourages me to trust my body and to know there is no wrong way to practice. TRE has been an absolute life changer for me as I process deep shadow material.
Learning TRE with Debbie was an incredible experience from the moment we first made contact where Debbie carefully and diligently prepared me for the session to the actual session which was one of the best sessions I've had with any healer. Debbie is indeed a true healer. Her passion and proficiency for TRE were clear throughout the session. I felt very safe and supported to open up and share my experiences and questions. She had wonderful, useful tips to keep centered, grounded and cared for as I did the TRE practice. I've been using all her tips in my self-practice. I can't recommend both TRE and working with Debbie highly enough!
I live with a chronic condition where I have been on a quest to find ways of dissipating stress from my Central Nervous system. Working online worked better than I thought it would. I felt that Debbie was intuitive to my experience and paced the sessions nicely. I felt very safe in the space that Debbie held and she remained present with me throughout. I’ll be keeping this practice as a regular thing and look forward to seeing where it takes me. I can’t thank Debbie enough for the gift that she’s offered me. Thank you Debbie.
Debbie has a warm intuitive reassuring presence, with lived experience of TRE and experience as a facilitator in retreat settings, on line and in person one to ones...she is highly qualified. I was very grateful to have found her and been able to participate in the group online sessions as I am in the early stages of TRE and I appreciate the guidance and pointers towards deepening the practice . I also had a one to one which I would recommend to answer the questions and quieten the mind!
I was surprised by just how powerful the TRE session was today. It was as though the body knew exactly what was needed... the body response to lay on my side to shake plus a deep sense of relaxation to the point that I wondered if I had fallen asleep and missed any of the session. Debbie encouraged and led us throughout the session. I could not tell the difference between having a session in the room physically with Debbie, as I have previously, or being online.
TRE sessions with Debbie are deeply relaxing. She holds the space warmly and her guidance gently leads to deeper and deeper stores of stress within the body. I would recommend Debbie to anyone who is looking for a skilled and compassionate TRE teacher. I look forward to my next session.
I can't think of anything else I could have needed - you held the space in such a gentle and compassionate way, and I thought it was great how you checked in with each of us individually, and also double checked that you had communicated clearly and that we had understood your suggestions at various points. I was really surprised by how strongly I reacted to it. I have since done one more session on my own, and interestingly I had much less of an emotional response to during our session, so I wonder if there's something about feeling safe and held doing it with a guide.
"I often find it difficult over zoom to know whether or not, and when to speak up, but you are so warm and kind that I felt held and safe. I had considered joining group shakes before but hadn't because I was worried the tremors wouldn't start if I felt watched or couldn't relax, but you put people at ease from the beginning. I learnt a lot and am looking forward to putting it into practice. Thank you!"
I'd never done TRE before, and had very little knowledge of the practice going into it, so I was pleasantly surprised by how quick I slipped into a powerful and dynamic tremor which seemed to take a course of it's own. Working with Debbie was great as she was super clear both in guiding me into the tremor, and in holding the space for me to feel safe enough to release. Using a nice mix of explanation with brief science behind TRE, and then giving simple steps to activating the tremor and was good at guiding me back into the sensation, allowing it to express. I did it in person, and the tremor took on different stages, coming and going in intensity and moving through different parts of the body. I felt super calm afterwards with a regulated nervous system. Since then, I've been doing solo practice with what she's taught me, and continue to have interesting experiences. I highly recommend Debbie as a TRE trainer as her teachings are clear and rooted in lived experience!
