Our Story
The Journey Behind The Total Release Experience®
TRE UK® is the home of The Total Release Experience®, a body led programme that helps people release deep held tension from the body.
Why This Work Exists
For many years, people have been taught to manage stress by talking about it or thinking about it differently. Yet the body often continues to carry the physical effects of past stress and trauma. Muscles tighten. Breathing changes. The nervous system remains on alert.
The Total Release Experience® teaches people how to release this stored tension safely through the body’s natural release response. When the body unwinds what it has been holding, people often experience greater calm, emotional balance and renewed energy.

Where It All Began
The journey that became The Total Release Experience® began with a simple conversation.
That conversation unexpectedly led Caroline to South Africa at a time when she was already preparing to travel there for another reason. Her daughter was about to welcome her first child, and Caroline planned to be present for the birth of her grandchild.
Looking back, Caroline often says there is no such thing as a coincidence. What unfolded during that time would quietly change the direction of her life.
Through experiences and discoveries that followed, she began to understand something that many people had overlooked. The body carries the physical imprint of stress and trauma, and it also holds the natural ability to release it.
That discovery became a calling. Over time, through years of exploration, practice and working with people, the process that would become The Total Release Experience® began to take shape.
The full story of that journey is shared in Caroline’s bestselling book Feel It To Heal It. 
What began as a moment of curiosity became a lifelong mission to help people understand the wisdom of their own bodies.
Today, that same curiosity continues to guide the work, as Caroline and Daniel deepen their understanding of how the body releases tension and how this knowledge can support people everywhere.
