Move On
Shake, Heal, Thrive
“All humans have an innate capacity to heal from traumatic experiences. We as a species are genetically encoded with the capacity to heal ourselves. If we did not possess this ability, our species would have become extinct shortly after we were born. Not only can we heal from traumatic experiences, but trauma itself has been part of the natural evolutionary process of our species, and all traumatized individuals have access to this natural healing method that is genetically encoded within them.”
- David Berceli (The Revolutionary Process of Trauma Release)
Move through it. Move beyond it
Release. Restore. Renew.
TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) is a gentle yet powerful practice that awakens your body’s natural ability to heal itself. Through simple movements, you activate the neurogenic tremor response - a built-in mechanism that helps dissolve deep-held tension, calm your nervous system, and restore inner balance.
Whether you’re carrying stress, recovering from life’s challenges, or simply wanting to feel more grounded and at ease, TRE® offers a safe, natural path back to physical and emotional wellbeing.
It’s time to let go and move on - TRE® can guide the way

Services
Getting Started with TRE®
This first session is designed to gently introduce you to TRE®. You’ll learn what it is, how it works, and how to practice it safely and effectively.
We’ll discuss your needs, concerns, and goals, and carry out a brief health check to ensure TRE® is suitable for you. From there, you’ll be guided through the lead-in exercises before experiencing your very first TRE® tremoring/shaking session.
Afterwards, we’ll take time for a debrief and talk through recommendations for ongoing practice.

Cacao-Enhanced TRE® Session
Begin your TRE® journey with your choice of Amaru (energising and heart-opening) or Uturunku (grounding and meditative) ceremonial cacao, delicately blended with selected spices. As you sip, you’ll set your intention for the session and, if you wish, personalise the experience with your own choice of music—bringing a more spiritual and deeply personal dimension to TRE®.
Anna will gently guide the process, then step back so your body can recalibrate, release, and restore in its own way.
The cacao is organic, ethically sourced from Peru, and supplied by New Zealand–based company Seleno Health.

Follow-Up TRE® Sessions
These sessions are ideal if you’ve tried TRE® before and want more guided practice before working on your own—or if you’d like to deepen your experience and receive extra support in accessing greater tremoring and healing.
Each session is tailored to your needs. Depending on what’s right for you, it may or may not include the lead-in exercises. Either way, you’ll enjoy a full tremoring session—up to 30 minutes—with skilled facilitation and support throughout.

Deepening Your Healing: TRE® + Therapy
Sometimes it’s helpful to pair your TRE® practice with therapy. These sessions provide a confidential, safe, and supportive space to do just that.
They can also help you integrate and consolidate the positive shifts you’ve experienced since beginning TRE®, ensuring those changes become part of your everyday life.
Anna offers both short- and long-term support, tailoring each session to your needs and personal history. With over ten years’ counselling experience, she is registered for ACC Sensitive Claims treatment and is a current member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors.

Approach
Serious Help. Happy Vibes
At Move On, we believe that professionalism and playfulness not only can go together - they should.
Anna, an experienced therapist, is committed to delivering professional, ethical, and highly skilled care. At the same time, she values lightness and fun, bringing a sense of ease and curiosity into every session.
By blending these elements, Anna creates an environment where clients feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore. This openness often allows people to tremor more deeply, experience greater healing, and carry that balance of groundedness and joy into their everyday lives.
Connection That Heals
With many years of experience as a Counsellor, Anna knows that true healing begins in a safe and supportive relationship.
Empathy and genuine connection form the heart of her approach. She offers a calm, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, understood, and deeply supported - creating the trust needed for meaningful change.
Individualised Support for Your Unique Journey
Every body, nervous system, and psyche is unique -shaped by different experiences, strengths, and vulnerabilities. That means every person’s needs are different, too.
Anna believes the key to effective support is truly listening and attuning to each client, creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and right for you.
With this in mind, she offers personalised care in both TRE® and therapy sessions, tailoring each experience to your individual needs and goals - so your healing journey is as unique as you are.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is TRE® Right for Me?
How do I schedule an appointment?
TRE® is for everyone. Whether you’re dealing with workplace stress, recovering from injury, healing from violence or a car accident, or simply wanting to handle life’s challenges with more calm, TRE® can help.
Because this healing mechanism is built into our natural physiology, everyone can respond to TRE® - and use it as a powerful tool to support their wellbeing.
Booking is simple.
Contact Anna by phone, email, or through this website, and she’ll be in touch for a quick chat to see if TRE® is right for you. If it is, she’ll arrange a time in her central Nelson office - or, if you prefer, she can come to your home (mileage charges apply).
Anna aims to fit in with your schedule and offer prompt appointments, though there’s usually a wait time of around 2 weeks. In urgent situations (such as supporting recovery after a car accident or other traumatic event) she will do her best to be flexible and see you as soon as possible.
Do I need to do anything to prepare for my session?
No special preparation needed.
Because TRE® works entirely with your own body, there’s nothing you need to do beforehand. Simply wear clothing you can move in and feel comfortable lying on the floor in (skirts aren’t ideal).
After your session, it’s best to give yourself some breathing space to integrate and enjoy the positive changes. Most people feel deeply relaxed and calm after tremoring - so listen to your body, slow down, and let yourself savour that feeling
Client Feedback
"I have found Anna to be very positive, friendly, supportive and helpful - guiding me through this process. It's amazing! Straight away after TRE, I yawned, and that night slept well for the first time in ages."
J.N
"It really surprised me how relaxed I felt after the first time I did TRE. I suddenly realised how tired my body was, after years of living with anxiety and PTSD. It has helped me connect to my body and I'm much more aware of what I need now"
M. R
"I felt a bit unsure about trying TRE and thought I'd feel self-conscious. But Anna was relaxed and supportive, so I didn't actually feel self-conscious at all. I'm so glad I tried it. I use TRE now to help me sleep and for releasing tension in my back from a past injury, and it's really helping"
