- Shaking and trembling as a natural selfcare technique
- “Have you had your career defining moment yet?”
- How old is your nervous system? How is your nervous system responding in the moment?
- PQ: Physiological intelligence
- Being truly calm and relaxed vs. trying to clamp down and masking/pretending to be calm and relaxed
- Unfreezing and thawing the body to let your body unwind
- External conflict ends with the dawn of internal peace

Richmond Heath is a pioneer in somatic stress recovery and the founder of TRE Australia, where he has spent over a decade teaching people how to access the body’s innate ability to release stress through a natural, often-overlooked reflex: shaking. His work with Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) offers a paradigm-shifting approach to wellbeing—one that helps calm the nervous system, ease chronic tension, and support emotional balance without the need for mental effort, storytelling, or structured routines. TRE is now used by individuals, athletes, and wellness professionals seeking practical, body-led tools for resilience and recovery.
Richmond’s understanding of the pressures people face isn’t theoretical. His own experiences with high-functioning anxiety, especially the strain of trying to meet unspoken expectations around what it means to “hold it together,” showed him how many men feel trapped by outdated ideas of strength. This personal insight fuels his work today, where he invites conversations about a different kind of masculinity—one that values embodied presence and connection over silent endurance. For men who find talk-based therapies uncomfortable or inaccessible, Richmond shows how simple body-based practices can offer a practical, private way to process stress and reconnect with themselves, making space for healthier relationships and a more balanced life.
