Welcome!  I've been fascinated with the human body, energy, and movement since I was a child.  My hobbies were astronomy, dance, and gymnastics. In my early 20s, I started experiencing debilitating fatigue and chronic pain. At that time, there was no diagnosis for my condition so I started researching the mind-body-spirit-energy connection. It made sense to me that there was more to healing than blood tests and pills so I branched out. I focused mostly on mind-body movement to eliminate the chronic pain and I modified my diet and food choices to manage the fatigue.

My passion is to share what I've learn with others. I do this by teaching people how to us their attention, imagery, and movement  to bring increased health and happiness to their lives. I offer these somatic insights to people through clear explanations, metaphorical imagery, and vibrant felt experiences.  I'd love to speak with you more and answer questions you may have about how I can help you.   Thank you for reading and I wish you healthy days. --Tracie
