Vision: A world in which all people have access to a self-help, self-regulating method to reduce the devastating effects of stress, tension and trauma; as well as offering healing and a greater sense of peace, wholeness and vitality.



Mission: To introduce TRE to individuals  throughout Prince Edward Island and neighboring provinces, by teaching TRE and providing TRE certification and support to TRE providers.
 

Philosophy: TRE is to be provided to all people and is not exclusive to any one nationality, culture or profession, but rather inclusive and supportive to all people around the world.

East Coast TRE wants everyone in PEI and in the region to have access to learning TRE for themselves and wants anyone interested in teaching TRE to others to have access to the necessary knowledge, support and guidance to learn how to teach TRE safely and effectively.
