Key topicsThe Missing Bottom-Up Element in Most Wellbeing PracticesPractitioners often understand that stress lives in the body, yet many techniques rely heavily on conscious control - breath, posture, focus, intention. Richmond shows how involuntary movement accesses a deeper layer of the nervous system that structured techniques can’t always reach. He explains why combining bottom-up and top-down methods accelerates outcomes for clients, especially those stuck in chronic tension or high-functioning anxiety. This gives practitioners a practical way to expand their toolkit without abandoning their existing modalities. Why Stress Isn’t a Mindset ProblemModern culture treats stress as something to manage with willpower, yet the nervous system processes it primarily through subconscious, embodied reflexes. Richmond explains how this mismatch leaves people feeling like they are failing when “managing stress” becomes another mental task. By restoring the body’s natural release mechanisms, stress becomes something people can resolve physiologically instead of mentally. This gives audiences a way to feel calmer without forcing their mind to do all the work. Why You Still Feel Stuck After Doing “All the Work”People often blame themselves when mindset tools stop working, assuming they lack discipline or insight. Richmond reframes this: most emotional patterns are driven by the body’s subconscious protective responses, not by thoughts alone. When those patterns don’t shift, no amount of journalling or reframing can unlock change. He shows how working through the body frees people from patterns they’ve been trying to “fix” mentally for years. View all topics →

Somatic Stress Recovery Educator & TRE Australia Founder

2010 Introduced TRE to Australia5,000+ People taught to use TRE10,000+ World-first online course enrolmentsFounder TRE Australia

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.

His journey began in physiotherapy and mental health, but took an unexpected turn during a silent meditation retreat when his body began to move spontaneously, easing pain he had carried for years. Experiencing how involuntary movement could unlock healing beyond what talk therapy or cognitive strategies offered led him to explore the deeper purpose of this reflex. When Richmond later encountered TRE, he found a framework that not only grounded his experience in modern science, but also celebrated the way many traditional cultures have long embraced spontaneous movement as a path to resilience and wellbeing.

Richmond’s understanding of the pressures people face isn’t theoretical.

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.

When Richmond later encountered TRE, he found a framework that not only grounded his experience in modern science, but also celebrated the way many traditional cultures have long embraced spontaneous movement as a path to resilience and wellbeing.

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.
