Mikal Vega, a retired Navy SEAL, has lived a life defined by service and resilience. After returning from active duty, he was prescribed a range of pharmaceuticals to manage the mental and emotional toll of his experiences. But the side effects were harsh, and he knew there had to be another way.
So, he set out on a new mission for healing. Mikal explored various natural healing modalities and discovered powerful tools that helped him reclaim his sense of balance, strength, and peace. This journey led to the creation of Vital Warrior, a community dedicated to helping veterans fully recover from combat stress.
Through his work, Mikal and his community have learned that hurtful experiences, stress, and tension are a part of everyone’s life. Yet, these emotional imprints often remain etched deeply in the subconscious, quietly affecting our well-being. Many of us don’t realize just how much we’re carrying until we have the tools to release it.
Mikal now encourages us all to explore Trauma & Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE®) as part of a daily, preventative practice for mental health and overall well-being. It’s not just about recovery; it’s about staying whole, resilient, and ready for whatever comes next.

Mikal Vega created Vital Warrior — a non drug solution for vetrans that includes TRE®
Tension & Trauma Releasing exercises were originally developed to address the impacts of traumatic experiences on the body; however, we have come to learn that TRE benefits all people & can be applied to several therapeutic experiences to enhance & catalyze healing & growth.
