Title: The Journey of TRE UK® and its Founder, Caroline Purvey
Q&A Session with Caroline Purvey - Providing a Practical Strategy to Enhance Personal Well-being, Featuring Intensive Empowerment Courses Designed to Reduce Stress and Maximize Life Enjoyment
Caroline Purvey: From a young age, I was a go-getter and not one to shy away from hard work. As a mother with three kids, I went to university in my late 30s. After graduating with a BA Hons in Business and Education Studies, I decided to close my retail business and complete a PGCE to teach Business to students. Before my third year of teaching, I completed a master's degree in education management, ready to keep pushing myself.
My last 12 years of a 17-year teaching career were spent as Head of Business in a boarding school for military families' children. It was an enriching experience that sparked my hunger for more knowledge. After my MA, I dove into yogic practices and alternative therapies to stay challenged.
When I left the education system, I followed my dream and opened a well-being center. Fate intervened, leading me to South Africa, where I discovered body energy work at an event nearby my daughter's residence. I made a promise that day to bring this life-changing practice back to the UK and share it with others.
As I opened my center, I started TRE UK® and developed the Total Release Experience® program, which has evolved over the years. I continued teaching yoga but eventually gave up other physical therapies, as the impact on healing was nowhere as profound as the TRE process.
Through the process, I learned that people release tension differently, and every experience is unique. I documented everything – questions, client experiences, and my own learnings – to delve deeper into the process.
In 2015, my son Daniel started working with me, fueled by the practice's ability to transform his own life after a difficult divorce. He is an integral part of the development of technology for delivering online courses, a crucial component that helped my business thrive during the Covid lockdown. Now, we have a global reach.
Goals:
- Increase awareness and education on the TRE process to heal from the impact of stress, overwhelm, and trauma.
- Empower 1 million children by training 200 school facilitators over the next two years to learn the process and prevent them from carrying childhood trauma into adulhtood.
- Make a measurable difference in reducing mental health issues and suicidal thoughts.
TRE UK®'s Strengths: Unlike traditional therapies, TRE UK® empowers clients to heal from the inside out by teaching the TAP process (Thoughtfully Activate the Psoas). The process allows individuals to reconnect with their body's natural ability to recover from stress and trauma. Our unique program is adaptable, accessible globally, and cost-effective.
Path Taken: My road to where I am today has not been easy. After years of learning, developing, and sharing my practice, I have faced skepticism, criticism, and ignorance. Yet, every person who trusted me has made transformational changes in their lives, providing the motivation I needed to continue. Synchronicity has played a significant role in my journey, guiding me towards the right people who have provided support and credibility when I needed it, such as trauma clinical psychologist Professor Gordon Turnbull.
Background and Vision: I set up TRE UK® with a vision and mission to educate and enlighten as many people as possible about the TRE process. I have remained focused on my vision, believing that every human deserves to know there is something they can do to take charge of their health and well-being.
Challenges Overcome: Among the challenges faced, one of the most significant was winning over Fire and Rescue, Police, Military, and Prison Services to adopt my program. Perseverance and passion ultimately opened the doors, making a difference in the lives of many. The Covid lockdown was another major hurdle, but with my team and determination, we created a program for people to heal at home, fostering resilience and hope.
One Word: Inspiring
Valuing the Vision: I am proud to say that I have never strayed from my original vision. I remain dedicated to reducing the unnecessary suffering caused by stress and trauma by campaigning and trailblazing innovative healing methods.
Strategies: With a focus on increasing visibility, building partnerships, and growing our global reach, TRE UK® offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and scalable solution tailored to clients' needs. Our expertise and support services, along with data comparisons detailing clients' progress, make us stand out in the vast market of healing practices.
Values: Integrity, personal growth, empowerment, and freedom are the pillars of my work. I always prioritize our clients' needs, ensuring that they trust the process and make meaningful progress toward healing.
Memorable Incident: Launching my book and achieving best-seller status marked a significant milestone in my career. By publishing my book, I shared my message about the importance of self-healing and encouraged others to take charge of their well-being.
Future Plans: In the next two years, I see TRE UK® growing exponentially, reaching more people and niches with our customizable offerings. I'll be speaking at more events, training others, and expanding our global reach, especially in schools and charities working with specific areas like abuse, addictions, and relationships.
Collaborating with Daniel, we're developing our wellbeing membership platform to enrich our clients' healing journeys. This platform will include features like coaching, exercise, and nutrition. I'm excited to explore new opportunities as society evolves and adapt to the needs of the present and the future.
Client Benefits: Through my clients' experiences and feedback, I witness daily transformations across physical, mental, and emotional aspects. Health and healing have never been more accessible and essential in the challenging world we live in.
Closing Thoughts: Healing from the past and building resilience may be unfamiliar concepts, but they're crucial for navigating today's world. By getting curious about the untapped potential within our bodies and embracing self-healing, we can find peace, calmer minds, and a healthier, happier life.
