Therapeutic Bodywork
Therapeutic bodywork encompasses a range of different treatment approaches that take a body-focused approach to exploring the relationship between body, mind and emotions to support nervous system regulation and emotional wellbeing. The main two approaches available at The Ambry are Somatic Therapy and Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE™). Read more about each below.
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE™)
A body-based approach to stress and tension regulation that utilises the natural tremor mechanism. It combines a series of seven gentle physical movements designed to spark the body's natural tremoring reflex to reset the nervous system.
Em Barber
Certified TRE™ Provider
Em Barber qualified as a Certified TRE™ Provider in 2021 and teaches TRE to individuals and groups in Norwich and North Norfolk.
TRE - tension and trauma releasing exercises - works by down-regulating the nervous system, unsticking us from fight/flight/freeze survival modes that may have been vital in the past but no longer serve us well. Through this practice, we develop a better connection to our bodies, our instincts and our selves.
Em has many adaptations to the exercises that she can help you explore, making them accessible to all, although TRE is not recommended in pregnancy and within six months of major surgery.

Reflexology
Reflexology uses the feet's intricate map of the body to bring gentle, restorative attention to key areas, promoting balance, deep relaxation and overall wellbeing. Drawing on principles from traditional Chinese medicine and Western Zone Theory, modern reflexology is a soothing, non-invasive therapy that supports the body's natural ability to restore equilibrium.
Each foot contains thousands of nerve endings, making it highly responsive to gentle, targeted pressure. By stimulating specific reflex points, reflexology encourages healthy circulation, helps calm the nervous system and supports the body's natural processes, promoting a greater sense of ease and wellbeing.
