About Tracy
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Tracy, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP®), Certified International Health Coach, and herbalist with more than 20 years experience helping clients heal. My work integrates trauma healing, whole food nutrition, and herbal medicine so you can feel safe, balanced, and at home in your body from the inside out.
Supporting you in creating lasting, embodied change is my greatest joy. I created this program to weave the healing benefits of Somatic Experiencing® (SE™), whole foods nutrition and herbal medicine. My passion lies in empowering clients to become their own best healer. When we listen to our body and ally with whole foods, medicinal plants, and self care, true health can flourish.
My integrated approach to wellness was cultivated throughout years of study in various modalities. I learned herbalism in the Wise Woman Tradition as an apprentice with Robin Rose Bennett and resident at her Wise Woman Herbal Medicine Clinic in Riverdale, NY. I am a Certified International Health Coach (CIHC) through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP®) certified by Somatic Experiencing International (SEI). I am also well-versed in addressing menopausal symptoms through herbal medicine and addressing issues around metabolic flexibility.
It is an honor to walk alongside you on your journey.
I've been there...
I know how overwhelming it is to maintain balance while living a full life and trying to make the best choices for your health. And what are those good choices, anyway?
I didn’t always know, either. I grew up on junk food, addicted to sugar, riding waves of erratic energy and mood swings and my cravings controlled me. I tried countless healing modalities but hadn’t truly looked at what I was putting into my body.
That changed in 2001 when I started studying nutrition. I began making small, manageable shifts in my diet and lifestyle—and the transformation was undeniable. My energy stabilized, my cravings lost their grip, and I felt good in my body for the first time, all while discovering a new world of delicious food. From that moment, I was hooked. This sparked decades of passionate exploration into optimizing health through real food.
In 2016, I deepened my journey through herbalism, discovering the incredible power of plants to address the root causes of illness and restore balance. Herbs not only nourish the body, but they also offer profound support for a calm and regulated nervous system.
This path led me to create my Light Body Botanicals plantain balm, a simple yet transformative remedy that healed my skin and reinforced my belief in simple, clean ingredients from nature. As someone with sensitive skin who struggled with acne late into adulthood, this discovery was a miracle.
After living through a breast cancer diagnosis in 2019 and healing through a combination of allopathic and alternative medicine, I found myself experiencing anesthesia related trauma which resulted in unpleasant symptoms for which there was no information or help.
I began studying SE™ in 2020 and used it to heal these symptoms. This felt like a miracle and was the first of so many I’ve now witnessed with this work. After all, we are not just what we eat and put on our skin—we are also what we think, feel, and carry from our past. Toxins from food, the environment and products weigh us down, but so do unprocessed emotions and unresolved trauma. By addressing all three, we can lighten the body’s load—physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Are you ready to feel lighter, brighter, and more balanced? If so, you’re in the right place.
