A selection of TRE® Testimonials received by Hazel Bond, certified TRE® Provider,
Garden Route, Western Cape, South Africa
TRE® testimonial received
from a client who began once-weekly TRE® sessions on 8th November 2022 and
continued the sessions for 6 weeks:
"To recap on my TRE experience with Hazel
is an honor.
I arrived; internally filled with years-long stress, anxiety, and frustration
that had proven to be a problem, as anger was now an outward force that I
could no longer control. It was causing relationship issues in my life. Simple
problems no longer had solutions. I was in a consistent state of fight and
flight and could not find consciousness in MY life. I was a passenger
wondering how this could ever end! I came across Hazel's website and gave TRE
all the attention I could.
After 3 weeks, I had faced past traumas from connecting with memories and
'letting go', to feeling a burning physical sensation to remind me to let go of
an injury or forgotten childhood twisted ankle.
What took me to week 6 of the guided TRE course was the feeling of stillness
that came over me. Hazel guided me and I no longer focused on the events I was
'letting go' of, but rather went with my body's natural rhythm. The anger has
reduced 90%! I can now feel my own life
again, actively remembering and choosing my own direction. I will continue to
be active in TRE and hopefully, one day to help others.
Thank you, Hazel.

TRE testimonial from a client who has a fractured vertebra, Western Cape, South Africa:
"Hallo Hazel
I joined your 6-week TRE sessions with excitement, although not quite knowing
what to expect. Now, you have nicely tied physical, spiritual and emotional
healing together for me.
I had a fractured vertebra which needed loosening, and, of course, all the
extra emotional luggage we carry with us, least of all the stress brought on by
the onset of COVID lockdown.
The TRE sessions were the highlight of the week for the 6-week period. I
haven't felt such intense relaxation and relief before, and the feeling of
release is a lasting one.
I am practicing these exercises twice a week, or when life gets a bit much and
I'd recommend this to EvEryOnE, and I do!, especially in these trying times.
Thank you for bringing light and relief back into my life, you're a gifted
healer and I'll be forever grateful to you,"

"Hi Hazel.
Thank you so much for guiding me through TRE. I
look forward to my stress release session with you every week. Over the 6
weeks, the tension throughout my whole body has gone. I always had very tense
shoulders and as the weeks have progressed the aches and pains have slowly
gone. My tension headaches have also totally gone. I noticed that during most
tremors they seemed to go from my legs to my lower back. Although it seems a
bit achy at the time, it seems to heal my lower back pain. I have thoroughly
enjoyed being ache and pain free for 6 weeks. Amazing!”

TRE testimonial from a keen sportsman who was diagnosed with Bilharzia and Coxsackie virus while training for the famous Dusi marathon in Durban, South Africa:
“Up until February 2012, I was a very active sportsman, living in the beautiful City of Durban, South Africa. I trained every day, and sometimes twice a day, trail-running, sea and river paddling. Training and being fit was basically my life. I was preparing for a major race called the Dusi marathon (a 100km paddling/running race). A week before the race I started feeling very tired and experienced severe brain fog and fatigue. I made an appointment with a doctor, who told me that I was just "over-trained", and suggested I should rest for 3 days, and could complete the race the following week. Against my inner voice, I completed the race (which is done over a 3 day period), and obviously did not do as well as I wanted to. A week after the race, I started feeling worse, and started to get really worried. I went from doctor to doctor, but no one could tell me what was going on. After 3 weeks, I was tested for Bilharzia (parasite found in fresh water), and the results came back positive. I took antibiotics, and thought that it would sort the problem out. I did not get any better, only worse. I started getting mini panic attacks, and also started thinking that I had some kind of auto-immune disease, because my nervous system seemed affected. After seeing another 5 or 6 doctors, I was diagnosed with Coxsackie virus. I started reading up about it, and it made me more nervous, as I read that this could stay with you for life. I heard stories of other people and how they have been struggling for years, and did not get better. I was put on an anti-depressant, and told that this would help to deal with the issues in my mind and overall. My symptoms throughout the whole period varied, but mainly fatigue, shaky hands and neck, severe brain fog, and terrible anxiety. My life was turned upside down. This had continued up until recently, however with medication it has improved significantly. I have tried most approaches in getting myself better. Some have worked, and others not at all.
During this time I investigated a
whole bunch of things, and stumbled across TRE
by accident. I watched some videos on Youtube and wanted try it
desperately, as I knew intuitively that it would help me. During my first
session with certified TRE
practitioner, Hazel Bond, I could not help but laugh while my body was doing
its own thing! I found this to be incredible. I realised that TRE, as much as it worked on the physical body,
also had a massive role in helping people to “let go”. My first tremors
were fairly strong, and I felt relief the minute I got off the mat. I did
however realise that the full benefit of the exercise was only realised a day
or two later. As my sessions continued, the tremors took on different
patterns, and focused on my neck and shoulder area. This is the area
where most of my problems were, so it was interesting to see that the body took
the tremor to where it was needed. Within three weeks, the tension in my
neck and jaw seemed to subside, and the tremors kept going back to the same
place. After week six, I knew all the stretches off by heart, and it
became a routine that I would not want to stop. TRE
has contributed significantly in reducing the stress that my body was under,
and as a result reduced my anxiety levels drastically. I cannot believe
the improvement in flexibility, strength and also painlessness. I am
continuing my tremors 2 – 3 times a week, and not planning on stopping!“

TRE testimonial from a client who was due to have a back operation:
"My name is Jenny (full name withheld for client confidentiality reasons) and I am fortunate to have completed the six-week TRE group workshop with the caring, patient and charming certified TRE practitioners, Brigitte and Hazel in December 2011.
I did the TRE workshop in order to learn to relax and to help me with my terrible back pain. After an MRI scan the Neurologist and the Neuro-Surgeon both said I definitely need a back operation, which I would rather not have if at all possible. This would not only help my back pain, but also it would help getting the feeling back in my toes of both feet. I am not allowed strong painkiller tablets due to a past addiction I had to codeine and I was in rehabilitation at Lulama for a while for treatment.
Through
TRE, however, which I also practice at home every few days, I am able
to cope with the pain without taking tablets. TRE has also helped
improve the circulation in my feet.
I am now more in touch with my body and, in fact, with 'my' world. I feel more relaxed and my attitude to life has changed considerably for the better. People are even saying to me how different I look - well and healthy!
It really is a miracle that I heard about TRE which has really and truly helped me in every possible way - I myself feel different!
Not only do I practice TRE regularly, but it has also given me more energy. I now swim almost daily - I swim 50 or 60 lengths of a fairly large pool. By the way, I am 75!
All I can say now to Hazel and Brigitte is "thank you and thank you again for introducing me to TRE - I feel great!"
