UNWINDING
Welcome to your new life hack to release stress and unwind tension.
If you have a feeling that stress may be the root of some of the challenges you are facing, Unwinding is for you.
WHY UNWINDING?
Fusing Yin, TRE, Chinese Meridian theory and embodiment, Unwinding takes a body-first approach to women’s health.
Your body keeps the score of everything you have been through. So, if it’s saying no to you through chronic pain, fatigue, digestive problems, constant illness, infertility or menstrual cycle challenges, it is trying to communicate that something is wrong.
Western medicine may not always be able to locate the “issue” with scans and tests, but what if we could investigate further?
Taking a body-first approach works with the “thing” presenting the pain - your body. This course looks at your stress, your nervous system and the tension inside of your body to help you get to the root of what’s going on.
WHAT IS UNWINDING?
Unwinding is a somatic course to introduce you to TRE® and Yin Yoga, somatic, stress release tools to help regulate your nervous system and naturally shake off any tension and stress that is living inside of your body.
This short course is designed to help you
Reduce stress and anxiety
Calm the nervous system
Regulate your emotions and reactions
Release tension
Say goodbye to PMS and period pain
Regulate your periods
Support regular, deep, restorative sleep
Words from past Unwinding students
-
"It's amazing how something so simple can create such a profound shift in the body. I felt comfortable throughout and incredibly grateful for the opportunity to release in such a nurturing environment. The one to one support from Laura was especially meaningful- she really listens and offers guidance both personal and wise. I am so thankful for this journey and would wholeheartedly recommend Laura's TRE course to anyone seeking gentle yet powerful healing."

"I came to Unwinding as a bit of a last resort, open minded but not building it up to be some type of “silver bullet”. But I think a silver bullet is what I’ve got! I knew that it didn’t matter how much I intellectually understood my anxiety and trauma, my nervous system needed to get the message. And as soon as I lay down on the mat and felt that first shake I knew this is what my body had been calling out for. After less than two months of shaking, I have less pain and tension in my hips and lower back, less bloating, less of a “freeze” response to stresses that come up through the week and I’m sleeping so much better. I feel so grateful to have this tool to work with for the rest of my life, and I’m so excited to see what other magic occurs as I continue the practice. Thank you Laura!"

"Thank you, Laura. From the bottom of my heart for TRE and Yin Yoga. Your classes have changed my life for the better and I will always be attending love or replay. I look forward to them all day/week. Had a bad day, confused about something, shake or Yin and they just make everything better!"
Unwinding & Women's Health
I have shared TRE with 100’s of women through 1:1, group and retreat settings. The power of these practices never cease to amaze me. There is (obviously) no research on this practice and women’s health, so what I share cannot be found in research papers.
However, from experiential feedback and real life healing (the most important in my eyes), I can share that this practice has helped so many women with the following…
Reducing period pain
Regulating the menstrual cycle
Supporting fertility
Increasing energy
Reducing PMS
Mental and emotional support whilst TTC
Preparation for IVF
Healing from the trauma of loss and miscarriage
Birth and postpartum support
Reducing anxiety and overwhelm
Building resilience in the nervous system
Supporting sleep and insomnia
What is TRE®?
Created by David Berceli, TRE® is body-first somatic self-care tool that works with the wisdom of the body to shake off stress and tension and rebalance the nervous system through natural, involuntary movements.

Unlike the more conscious, top-down approaches of many other healing and therapeutic practices; talking therapy, yoga, Pilates, mindfulness, and general exercise, all of which are limited by the capacity of the conscious minds, TRE® hacks the innate, subconscious capacity of the nervous system to relax, release and heal.
TRE® enables to body to feel safe enough to discharge stress and tension and rebalance the nervous system without the conscious mind having to think about it. This releases day-day stress, as well as the imprint of past trauma and stress that is manifesting in the present day.
This practice is a chance for your body to debrief everything you have been going through, and, unlike talking therapy, there is no need to re-live or talk about past experiences and hurt, the body is simply able to release the imprint through the movements.
It is a body-based practice that you can learn and keep in your self-care tool box forever.
Why do we shake?
All mammals are designed to shake off stress. When an animal encounters a stressful experience, it will shake off to release the tension and then return to life as normal. The human body wants to do the same, but our logical brains have shut this off and we have learnt to suppress our innate healing wisdom.
Shaking has been used in ancient and indigenous cultures for centuries, but modern western culture has long overlooked this wisdom. Our natural shakes and tremors are seen as a sign of stress, nervousness, anxiety, fear and weakness; however, these involuntary movements are actually a natural recovery reflex that we need.
