Joan.Mc Donald

Joan embodies TRE with her grounded presence. She excitedly shares her knowledge and

wisdom gained from a highly diverse career as a registered, social worker. 🍁🍂🍁

She has extensive experience teaching TRE, training, and supervising Certification Trainers around the world, and establishing Global training programs in Asia and Canada. 🙌

She draws on 30 years of experience

in managing, teaching, counselling, and consulting integrating her knowledge and experience in her role as a Certification Trainer, former member of the Trainer Support Team and founding member of the TRE For All Board of Directors. 

 Joan’s desire to spread TRE in the world and to assist those who have experienced the devastating effects of disaster has taken her to Japan to work with Tsunami survivors, to the

Philippines as one of two trainers offering provisional community-based training following Typhoon Yolanda and to Myanmar to introduce TRE to traumatized staff of an NGO ❤️

She achieved her dream of bringing TRE to Nepal where she lived for five months following the earthquake. For the past 15 years Joan resides part time in Thailand, her home in Asia.

Joan lives in Canada part time, where she established TRE Canada and trained 4 Trainers who are continuing her work to spread TRE 💫

We are grateful for her amazing support on our TRE Community Facilitators Training Program.
