About
TRE California offers private sessions, public and corporate workshops, and certification trainings (both in person and on Zoom) led by Maria Alfaro.
Maria is a native Italian and a U.S. citizen since 1997.
Since 2004, Maria has facilitated TRE for thousands of people in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. She assisted Dr. David Berceli, TRE’s founder, in dozens of trainings around the world, including co-teaching with him in Japan. Maria has led hundreds of public workshops and over 130 certification trainings worldwide.
At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, Maria was part of an international pilot project to take the TRE Certification Program online and she has facilitated online trainings and workshops ever since.
Maria is fluent in English and Italian, and can also supervise training sessions in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Her eclectic background includes massage, dance, Chinese martial arts, international business management, acting and improvisational comedy, and decades of teaching yoga.
Maria is also the co-creator of Neurogenic Yoga™, the sister method of TRE.
Her trainings provide CEUs for massage therapists and body workers nationally and for LMFTs in California.
Maria is known for creating a supportive, compassionate, and entertaining learning environment that is fun and feels safe.
I have been using TRE for a year and have proposed it to others, some very affected by trauma. The feedback is very positive. Traumatized individuals reconnect with their body, letting go and letting their bodies “do the work.” I appreciate Maria’s professional qualities, all underlined with a great sense of humor.
TRE was explained to me in such a beautiful and clear way by Maria. This was the practical self-healing modality I had been searching for to help our veterans find peace and healing within their own homes. TRE is a very powerful tool and I highly recommend it to all.
As a teacher, Maria is very sensitive and invigorating. She is also a warm person with a great sense of humor. She is able to inspire her students, motivate them and, perhaps most importantly, keep them laughing during some challenging times.
I was surprised how TRE helped participants release stress and trauma without need for private, long-term, individual treatment. After experiencing TRE personally, I decided to become a provider and Maria was my trainer. She shepherded me through it providing insight, wisdom and great support. I am grateful to have had her as a mentor.
