Recent studies, most notable a large-scale 2024 meta-analysis publishes in the “BMJ” suggests that dancing may be even more effective than antidepressants for treating depression. Dancing’s superiority stems from its holistic nature, combining several therapeutic elements simultaneously and without the side effects of medication.

To elaborate, like other forms of exercise, dancing triggers the release of “feel-good” neurotransmitters such as endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, which naturally boost mood and reduce stress.

Dancing engages both the mind and body, which helps to break cycles of negative rumination (repetitive negative thoughts) by focusing attention on the present moment and the rhythm of the music. This is a core component of somatic therapy.

Dance also provides a non-verbal avenue for emotional release and self-expression, which can be particularly helpful for individuals who struggles to articulate their feelings in traditional talk therapy settings.

Many forms of dancing involve a social or group component, which helps combat feelings of isolation and builds a sense of community and belonging-major contributors to mental well-being.

In addition to mental health benefits, dancing improves cardiovascular health, enhances cognitive functions, and boosts self-esteem, contributing to overall well-being.

Unlike antidepressant medications which can have side effects like weight gain, insomnia, nausea, dependency, harsh withdrawal symptoms, etc., dancing offers a natural approach with only positive effects.

When is the right time?
Who should I work with?
Private sessions or group classes?
These are some of the most common questions people ask about TRE.
And they make sense.
The mind wants clarity.
It wants to understand, compare options, and feel safe before taking a step.
But not every decision can be made from the head alone.
Pause for a moment.
Place one hand on your chest, the other on your belly.
Take a slow breath in…
and let it out.
Instead of searching for the “right” answer, notice what you feel.
Is this the moment to try TRE?
To allow your body to release stored tension and stress?
To reconnect with its signals and wisdom?
To learn a simple, embodied tool that can support you when anxiety, panic, or fight-or-flight responses arise?
For some, the answer is yes — now.
For others, it’s not yet.
And sometimes it’s soon.
There is no wrong answer — as long as it’s honest and yours.
When clarity comes from the body, the next step becomes easier. Then the mind can help with the details: where to go, who to work with, which format feels right.
What often feels most uncomfortable is staying stuck in indecision: thinking about it, reading about it, going back and forth.
Relief often comes with a clear choice. Sometimes that choice is “not right now.” And sometimes it’s “yes — I’m ready.”
If you feel a quiet yes, trust it. If you don’t, trust that too.
The right moment is always now — because now is where change begins.

Trauma & Tension Release Exercises (TRE®)

Trauma & Tension Release Exercises (TRE®) are a gentle, body-based practice designed to support the nervous system in releasing deep, chronic stress and stored tension. Through a series of simple movements, the body is guided into a natural reflex of gentle tremoring—an innate mechanism that helps discharge excess activation from the muscles and nervous system.
This trembling response is not forced; it is the body’s own intelligent way of returning to balance. Much like animals instinctively shake after stress, TRE allows the human body to safely release what it no longer needs to hold.
TRE supports the body in shifting from survival mode into a state of rest, regulation, and resilience. Over time, this practice can help restore a sense of safety, ease, and connection within oneself.
Benefits of TRE may include:
Reduction of stress and anxiety
Release of muscular tension and holding patterns
Improved nervous system regulation
Greater emotional resilience and grounding
Enhanced relaxation and body awareness
Support in trauma recovery and overall wellbeing
TRE is suitable for many people and can be practiced gently and at one’s own pace. The focus is not on reliving trauma, but on listening to the body and allowing it to unwind naturally.
Through consistent practice, TRE invites a deeper relationship with the body—one based on trust, presence, and self-compassion.

Endometriosis is not just pain.
It is a daily relationship with your own body.
With unpredictability.
With fatigue.
With tension that does not always go away with medication.

For many people, a diagnosis of endometriosis
means more than just treatment.
It means a change in lifestyle.
The pace, The way we eat, rest,
plan our day.

And sometimes, the way we look at ourselves.
Because when the body hurts for a long time,
the nervous system learns
to be in constant readiness.
In tension.
In alertness.
In ‘I have to endure’.

And this is where many people discover
that they need something more than just survival.

TRE ®️ does not cure endometriosis.
But for many, it becomes a support in what
is most difficult:
in everyday functioning with the disease.

It helps:
-to get out of fight mode, even for a moment
-to give the body a signal of safety
-to release the tension that has been building up for weeks and months
-to feel that the body is not the enemy.

Sometimes the greatest relief is not the absence of pain,
but the moment when the body no longer has to
carry everything on its own.

For many people, TRE®️ becomes
one of the elements of self-care,
alongside treatment, diet, physiotherapy, conversation and rest.

Not instead of but along with, together...

Because living with endometriosis is not just about ‘coping’.
It's about learning how to be gentle with yourself.
How to listen to your body.
How to give it support, not just make demands.
If you live with endometriosis,
your experience matters.
Your fatigue is understandable.
And your body deserves care at the level of the nervous system as well.

I love planning activities and classes for children !!!!
I deeply believe in methods supporting children development through play ,experience and movement .

I always strive to ensure that my working methods are not only supportive, but also encourage children to be themselves and to open up with curiosity to the world
and people around them.

I want them to trust themselves and their bodies,
to find freedom and expression in movement ,improvisation and play .

I want to show , that learning can be fun...
That It can be interesting and engaging for all the senses.

At Alchemy of Movement, I strive to make every child feel safe enough to always be themselves, to create and play with their whole being.
