What Is Shaking Medicine

Shaking Medicine is a somatic body based practice to assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma.


It is combines the modality of TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) with ancient eastern practices such as Yoga and Qi Gong and has been shown to be highly beneficial for people suffering with stress, anxiety, trauma or PTSD. It doesn't require talking about an event, feeling or issue, avoiding the added stress and difficulty of revisiting a past scenario.

During a class or 1:1 session you will be guided through a set of exercises that safely activate an instinctive mechanism of therapeutic shaking that releases the deep tension created and held in the body during a traumatic experience or through chronic stress. This simultaneously calms the nervous system, allowing the body to return to a state of balance.

As well as releasing tension this practice can help to:

  • Boost your health and vitality

  • Somatically unravel aches, pain, tension, stress, anxiety, suppressed emotions & trauma

  • Decrease Inflammation

  • Activate parasympathetic nervous system

  • Bring you out of your head and into your body, cultivating presence

  • Boost circulation and lymphatic system

  • Access better sleep

  • Feel empowered with a tool to regulate your nervous system

  • Unravel your physiological patterning and tensions



Once learned in a safe environment with a qualified practitioner, this technique can be used at home on your own as needed continuously supporting your health and wellbeing.


Shaking Medicine is one of the modalities I use in my Trauma Release Sessions. If you would like to experience a session keep an eye for upcoming workshops on my website. I also offer 1:1 sessions where we can tailor a practice to you.
