How do I stick down tile membranes?

What should I do to stick down membranes that are uncoupling? Is this something I can do myself or am I best off hiring a tiler? Thanks.

"Use regular tile adhesive to stick the tile membranes down. First, uplift it completely and clean the area before putting it back down"
