“There’s a lot of language around yoga practices and releasing negative energy, and I sort of intellectualize it and release a variety of things through breathing—and that’s helpful—but it’s nothing like this. It’s so palpable when you’re shaking. TRE is as advertised; your body is changing. I feel different—more limber. It is remarkable. I’m going to be a staunch evangelist for this practice.”

“Carolyn holds such a beautiful space for the TRE workshop. I have attended two workshops now and found both to be so transformative and inspiring. Carolyn does a wonderful job explaining what TRE is and gives clear instructions on how to find your natural tremor. She brings a feeling of warmth, love and acceptance to her classes that makes you feel at ease and open to the experience. I have continued to use TRE on my own, but will continue to go back to Carolyn's classes because I am able to reach a much more heightened experience with her guidance and presence.”
— Kelley B., TRE Workshop participant
“I was really surprised by TRE. As an athlete and fitness instructor, I’m always blown away when I discover new things about the body. I didn’t know if I was going to feel anything... Once I got shaking and I stopped trying to control it, I played with it and it felt amazing.”
— Andrew S., TRE Workshop participant
There are moments in life when you meet someone so unique that they change the trajectory of your life. I started working with Carolyn to prepare for a 500 mile hike in the hope that TRE would help me physically get ready—and allow me to let go of past traumas—not fully understanding the depth of connection I was about to discover in my own soul.
The brief moment of anticipatory discomfort in what you believe your experience will be is quickly brought to rest in Carolyn’s presence. Her spirit is so calming and inviting, you let go and allow your body to simply do what it instinctively knows and from there the healing begins. Carolyn joins you through the entire process giving you constant love and support as you watch your body release old, stagnant and traumatic energy through a series of moments. TRE is a beautifully raw connection to self and Carolyn is pure light.

As a native Southern Californian I have tried a LOT of modalities. Carolyn’s Recharge class is the first I’ve seen to integrate so many different practices to facilitate nervous system integration in a readily accessible way. After the one class I not only felt grounded, but finished having added tools to my toolbox for self-regulation. Pause makes me a better parent, partner and professional, and I am excited to share it with those I love.
— Elizabeth D., RECHARGE participant
I highly recommend this session - 5 stars! It was like a massage for my mind, soul, and nervous system. I left feeling grateful, joyful, and recharged. Carolyn is so calming, knowledgeable and great at explaining the techniques throughout. I felt like I was getting the highlight reel of her years of experience and research.

I started taking Recharge to process uncertainty in my life’s work as a conservation practitioner. It soon became the perfect antidote to stress, and is now a trusted companion as I navigate life’s uncertainties. Carolyn mindfully curates Recharge from start to finish using an intentional rhythm, and introducing tools for stress resilience that are both easy-to-grasp and replicate outside of class. Pause has brought me so much more than professional clarity: it empowers me to show up in the ways I seek at the intersections of my full identity as a wife, mother, daughter, friend, and beyond.

As a new mother, Recharge has been the perfect way to provide myself nurturing self-care. It’s always a highlight of my week. Recharge has become a safe haven for my body and mind. The combination of light movement, breath work, meditation and journaling offers an effective and relaxing way to entirely reset my nervous system. Throughout class, Carolyn creates space to release, rest, then re-energize. She ensures everyone feels included, comfortable, and welcome to bring their true authentic selves to class. As a postpartum woman, her class made me more comfortable in my new body and strengthened my ability to take control over emotions like stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Leaving class, my body feels looser, my worries feel lighter, my head feels clearer, my soul feels more peaceful and my heart feels happier. (And a tip - dress cozy!)
— Erin B., RECHARGE participant
Wow, you did it again. Thank you for another great class. I feel so taken care of, which is a profound feeling.

“It's hard to find the words to describe the transformation I experienced in Carolyn's guided Catharsis workshops.
I went into each class feeling tense and anxious about big transitions happening in my life. I knew there was a build-up of stress in my body from bereavement and physical trauma, but I couldn't figure out a way to access and move through it. Carolyn's warmth, spirit and remarkable guidance walked me through a physical and emotional process of release within a safe, supportive circle of women. I've been recreating the process at home when I need to, and it's transformed my ability to navigate some extraordinary challenges, all the while enhancing my sense of peace.”
— Liz W., Catharsis workshop participant
“Very quickly, I realized that most of the women in the room had never done anything like Catharsis before and our shared anxiety put me at ease. Carolyn’s facilitation, the perfect playlist, and the warm and supportive collective energy made it feel easy. I loved what Carolyn said about having collected these tools that enable her to be more resilient. I think about resilience a lot and how ill- equipped we are in our culture to cope with change or loss since we don't confront loss or teach resilience.
If I was trying to describe this workshop to a friend, I would say you're in for a very emotional, unexpected and cleansing journey. Catharsis sums it up.”
— Caitlin M., Catharsis workshop participant
“Carolyn is an incredible facilitator. She has a calming presence and makes everyone feel included and heard. It's clear she has a true gift for helping people and it shows in her ability to put everyone at ease.
You really have to try Catharsis for yourself. In some ways it's hard to put the experience into words, but it's something I think everyone can benefit from trying. ”
