Hello dear friends,
Its great to be in touch again.
I hope you are keeping warm and well.
I aim to keep my newsletters to only 3 or 4 a year, so a...mutual phew!
I'd love to share some of the wonderful recovery stories from you in 2017.
I'm nourished by the messages I've received throughout the year, giving me news on how your practice has moved you forwards and brought the wellness or change you hoped for.
One such experience was from Jane who had Fibromyalgia ( Jane talks about Fibro in the past tense now!) Following attending a TRE workshop Jane was able to dispense with her walking stick soon after. Jane writes about her TRE experience so beautifully in her Holstic Fibro Fighter blog. Jane also found her phobia of the dentist had gone....I've had this response from other shakers too!
Another lady, within a month of practicing TRE, stopped her deeply troubling sleep walking. And an early Christmas present was to receive the letter below from a lovely gent who learnt TRE earlier this year.
"It's been a while but I never did thank you for what you have done for me with the TRE sessions. Compared to when I first met you I now feel like a new person and walk with my head held high.
I have returned to work locally with renewed vigour thanks to those sessions.
I am keeping up with the exercises regularly and find them very beneficial particularly to shed the work stress of the week in preparation for a nice relax on the weekend.
I would still be a bent over stressed out mess if I solely relied on the NHS my appointment came through two weeks ago that I cancelled and they asked why . I told the therapist who raised an eyebrow when I told her of TRE and the theory behind it.
In conclusion of my conversation with her I said the 'proof is in the pudding' wouldn't you agree and she did agree to my surprise.
Any way Jo it was lovely to meet you, you are a lovely person and thank you again."
I am really grateful to you for sharing your stories and for your strength and willingness to try 'this weird shaking thing'.
There's other stories on my website feedback page if you'd like to have a read.
It would be great to hear from you if you would like to share how your practice has helped you, maybe in one of the following ways or some other way.: stress/anxiety/emotionally/physically/aches and pains/in relationships/sleep/phobias/energy levels/socially/flexibility/confidence/overwhelm/coping. If we can spread the word it can help others too!
I'm delighted now to be running TRE weekly classes for Devon and Somerset Fire Service both for existing employees and to provide a trauma and tension release tool for new fire fighter recruits. I celebrate the open forward thinking of Devon Fire Services Welfare team and Station Manager caring for this amazing team. This is empowering folks with a tool to heal themselves rather than rely on outside agencies.
Now having enjoyed a pause for the winter break...and feeling refreshed I'm looking forward to sharing more times with you again.
Join me in 2018 for a breather
This year I'm looking forward to hosting more Retreats, two in Devon in June 15th - 17th and September 7th - 9th.

Following hosting the Sharpham Retreat with James in November, and spending the weekend with a wonderful group, I'd love to share some of the feedback from there and my earlier retreats....It warmed me deeply.x
"I’m feeling TOTALLY refreshed and positive, having had the pleasure of meeting you and your wonderful practice."
“Meeting you has been like a breath of fresh air in my life…..something really positive to hold on to during the more difficult times. I have no problem trusting my gut instinct this time!”
“I felt your loving energy, Jo… enveloping.”
"We both enjoyed the retreat immensely"
"Firstly thank you so much for your care and attention during the Sharpham weekend retreat. Iam so glad to have this experience as my first ever retreat, i really appreciate your kindness during my stay.
“Honored to experience you, and the retreat lived up to all expectations.”
“I truly appreciate your lovely gentle way of teaching, you really are a valued treasure Jo.”
