What is Shaking Medicine?


Shaking Medicine (SM) focuses on embodying your instinctive mechanism of therapeutic tremoring. This mechanism has evolved over millions of years as hygiene for your nervous system to optimise your health and bring you into homeostasis.

It is for people in all stages of life. It naturally unravels stress, anxiety, trauma and more, which are the root causes of many ailments. In Shaking Medicine you let go of control, surrender, and allow your body to move you and spontaneously shake you.

It is more like remembering something already within you rather than learning something new. It empowers you to expand, ground, let go, trust, love, and fully live life!


Shaking Medicine is a somatic body-based modality founded by Dr Keith Motes. We are organized as a non-profit called the Shaking Medicine Foundation based in Australia offering our services worldwide.

Dr Keith Motes

Founder of the Shaking Medicine Foundation

He started Shaking Medicine after having a profound experience involving spontaneous shaking. For Keith, this revolutionary experience happened without him being taught this phenomenon or even ever hearing about it before. Leading up to this experience he had been practising and teaching Yoga & Qi Gong. This gave him the capacity to trust his innate instinctive intelligence enough to tune into what his body was intuitively asking him to do, which was to let go, relax, allow, and shake in the spontaneous and uncontrolled fashion that our inner animalistic nature knows how to do.
Finding the shake was a pivotal point in Keith’s life that led him to passionately explore, develop, study, and embody Shaking Medicine. For the first time, he began dissolving trauma in his body that his other practices simply didn't tap into. Keith became curious if others would receive similar benefits, so he began experimenting with sharing this with others. To make sure the practice remained safe and grounded he used his Yogic and Taoist knowledge, which are key foundations in this modality. He became quite proficient at guiding people into their own unique therapeutic tremoring experiences and began sharing this work more professionally while continually evolving Shaking Medicine to this day, which is now being shared around the globe.
