“Ashke was very communicative and personable during my pregnancy. I also appreciate that she has been there for me throughout my postpartum journey as well! I highly recommend her for your doula journey.”
Kerry B
“Ashke helped me more with chronic health conditions than a plethora of people on my treatment team. Ashke took a broad view of my entire story relating to my body and was able to piece the puzzle together like no other practitioner could. She gave me solutions that really worked. She spent a lot of time out of session researching things for me to give me quality recommendations. Ashke helped me get my life back from chronic infections, chronic inflammatory responses, and an autoimmune disease. If you know what it’s like to live with chronic conditions, you know that it puts a damper on your mind and spirit. I am forever grateful for the way working with Ashke profoundly improved my quality of life. I highly recommend. ”

TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (or TRE®) is based on the fundamental idea, backed by research, that stress, tension and trauma is both psychological and physical. TRE®’s reflexive muscle vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing. After doing TRE®, many people report feelings of peace and well-being. TRE® has helped many thousands of people globally.
TRE® is designed to be a self-help tool that, once learned, can be used independently as needed throughout one’s life, thereby continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wellness. More information can be found here: https://traumaprevention.com/
I highly recommend this practice prenatally and postpartum, as well as for anyone who experiences chronic stress or has experienced past trauma. This practices addresses and helps releases stress stored in the body from daily life experiences as well as traumatic events.
