RELEASE AND RESTORE
Alison Donald offers specialised somatic therapy to regulate your nervous system by releasing physical and emotional tension and injury to restore your body's natural balance.
MY APPROACH
01
TRE (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises) is a simple yet powerful self-care tool to naturally release stored stress, tension and trauma from the body, profoundly and positively supporting nervous system regulation.
02
Yoga builds strength, flexibility, balance and body awareness. I incorporate movement, breath work, ancient wisdoms and modern science to inspire, energise, build confidence and support connection.
03
Breath work, mindfulness, meditation and energetic practices including Reiki and Crystal Healing are foundational tools for nervous system regulation. I tailor every session to gently and safely support your unique needs.
04
Gentle exploration of the science of how we hold on to stress, tension and trauma helps us learn to listen to what our bodies are telling us. It is always possible to reprogramme your nervous system to help you flourish.
