About the practitioner

The work grew from lived experience.

Avalon Grove is a body-led space for curiosity, capacity, and becoming. I’m Charlize, and I’ll meet you as a person before any method or label.

My path

From personal exploration to practice

My journey into TRE® began as I explored my own stress, emotional reactivity, and nervous system patterns. The practical, body-based side of the work sparked a lasting interest in human behaviour and regulation.

I care about simple practices that fit real lives. The focus is less overwhelm, more capacity, and a relationship with our bodies that can grow over time.

Today I offer TRE® and Access Bars®, with a particular interest in supporting burnt-out neurodivergent women and highly sensitive people, as well as individuals who struggle under sustained, unrelenting pressure. I aim to offer a space for decompression.

How I work

Choice, consent and a manageable pace

01 / Listen

Start with context

We make room for your goals, questions, and anything that may affect how a session is adapted.

02 / Notice

Follow your cues

You can slow down, pause, or stop. No one needs to share a trauma story to participate.

03 / Integrate

Take what fits

Education and simple practices can help you understand what you notice between sessions.

Start where you are.

You can send a short enquiry without having it all figured out. We’ll find a sensible next step together.
