The path to natural stress management

TRE®-mind

TRE®-mind strengthens well-being through bodily stress regulation.

Maiken Brøndum-Løwe, physiotherapist and certified TRE® provider, runs TRE®-mind in Hjerting and works with bodily stress regulation for citizens and companies in Esbjerg.

It was not planned that Maiken Brøndum-Løwe would become self-employed. But the encounter with TRE® gave her a professional and personal “aha” that was hard to let go of. In a calm annex on Hjerting Strandvej in Esbjerg, she today helps clients find their way back to calm – through the body's own ability to regulate an overloaded nervous system.

TRE®-mind works with stress management and nervous system regulation based on the body. Throughout her career, Maiken Brøndum-Løwe has met many people with sleep problems, racing thoughts, pain, digestive issues, and persistent restlessness in the body – symptoms often linked to prolonged strain. She also experienced that many had already tried psychologists, meditation, massage, or alternative treatments without achieving the lasting calm they sought.

“I experienced a gap in the treatment. We talk a lot about stress, but less about the body's own ability to regulate itself,” she explains.

What makes TRE®-mind different: An innate shaking mechanism at the center

The core of TRE®-mind is TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), developed by the American trauma therapist David Berceli. The method is based on a biological mechanism shared by humans and other mammals: the body's ability to release tension and restore balance after strain.

TRE® consists of seven gentle exercises that activate neurogenic tremors in the body. The goal is to reduce the sympathetic nervous system's alarm readiness and support the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, where the body restores itself. “Prolonged strain keeps the body in constant alarm mode. With TRE® we help the body naturally release the tension and find balance again,” explains Maiken.

She is a certified TRE® provider and the only one in Esbjerg offering the method, which she combines with over 20 years of experience as a physiotherapist and her background as a mindfulness instructor. One client describes the effect like this: “Already after the first session with Maiken, my tensions disappeared, and my body became soft as butter. After a few sessions, I sleep significantly better.”

More focus on self-regulation and bodily resilience

TRE®-mind is based on a mission to increase quality of life, functional ability, and performance – not to “do business for business's sake.” For Maiken, it is about making nervous system regulation concrete and usable in a busy everyday life. “When we learn to listen to the body and regulate the nervous system, it helps us sleep better, get more energy, and find calm amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life,” she says.
