“I think this work can benefit so many people. In particular for those of us who have done so much "work" / introspection, it is quite humbling how much can arise in the space of quiet attunement and coregulation…”
“Since working with you, my relationship with my body has changed in profound ways. I respect it more, I listen to it more, I more naturally look inward to find answers to my questions and to regulate my state. Ironically, and importantly, I also think that our work together has enabled my body to trust me more.”
“I've come to really important conclusions about my work as a practioner because of this work. It's given me the freedom to admit to myself how burnt out I've been, and how much I've holding. And as I've given into that admission, and allowed the fear to bubble up, this work has eased the fear, and given a me a sense of boldness that I never knew how to embody before.”
“Working with you has been deeply reparative for feelings of validation, safety, and belonging. I felt so welcomed and seen by you! Your skill level as a practitioner and the healing space you create I believe are transformative.”
“Now that I am doing a better job of listening to and respecting my body, I think it is trusting me more and it more apt to respond in ways that I can understand. It feels like my mind and my body are aligned now, in a way that difficult to describe because it is so inherent. It seems basic, but it's actually life-changing.”
“When I first stated this work, I came from a background of somatic work, and felt like I had a good understanding my nervous system and the parts that made up my internal experience. However this work has taken me deeper into that well than ever before, and opened up a dialog with some of my youngest parts. Because of this dialog, and the facilitation that has happened, I've been able to embody a sense of deeper authenticity around who I am, and have found myself having less fear responses.”
“The work that we’ve done together has allowed me to cultivate a kinder more nurturing relationship with myself and in turn to others. I feel like I have a greater sense of who I am at my core and can see much more quickly and clearly when I am outside of this centered self. I can more directly recognize when I’m enmeshed with my feelings/parts and am able to meet these moments with curiosity and care rather than reactivity and criticism. Though I still have my moments as a messy struggling human it feels like there are more moments of space and clarity than before. Some other things that stand out are a growing sense of self-trust and self-acceptance. I also feel that the body work we’ve done combined with your explanations of how our musculoskeletal system works has helped me in developing more feelings of ease towards my bodies responses and sensations.”
“You model a pace and gentleness and attention to consent and deep reverence for the person in front of you that I aspire to. And all of it is so genuine and authentic. Truly an honor to have you as an example of what I could be.”
“This work is deeply subtle, but impactful. The act of not talking about things, but feeling through them is something that can only be experienced, as it's hard to encompass with words.
“From the ability to feel less fear in my body, to a subtle and expert willingness to respond to some of my youngest parts, I've found this work a beautiful weaving of healing for me.”
“I feel that my work with Tracy has been some of the most directly impactful work I have done in terms of how I relate to my body or my capacity to live more fully in my body. Despite working with many modalities and approaches, I have not been able to really get to it the way I have with Tracy. Tracy's approach outsmarts my best defenses which is uncomfortable, but also powerful and healing.”
“I deeply appreciate the sanctuary that you consistently provide, both physically (your office space) and emotionally/energetically (your presence). My body knows this, too, because I can feel it start to "talk" to me as soon as I sit down in your chair. It's like every part of me knows that your office is the space where all of my parts get to show up and be acknowledged/heard in a respectful way. It can be difficult to set that sort of space by myself, and the container that you hold makes an enormous difference. Literally every part of me knows it!
“Because of the beautiful sanctuary space you offer, I am able to meet and work with parts of me that I would likely not otherwise meet because they would not have the opportunity to come to the surface in the same way.”
“One of the first things that comes to mind when I think of our work together that feels paramount and I very much appreciate is: safety. The deep sense of safety and care that I feel with you and in your space is remarkable. Being in your care feels like a deep sigh of relief.
“I feel like I can show up who and how I am and no matter what that is I will be valued and cared for. Your asking often and in an unhurried way if things feel ok from the amount of lighting, to temperature, to what we are focused on at any given moment has helped me to know and trust myself more and more.
“I also really appreciate the collaborative and creative approach you bring to all the work we do together. Your ideas have helped me go from feeling confused and stuck to clear and empowered.”
“I have done somatic work before and it isn't the same. With Tracy there is an element of consent that comes from the body and from young parts of self that allows for a much deeper kind of somatic work.”
“As a person living with multiple sclerosis, I have struggled with relating to my body and understanding its needs, seeing it sometimes as an enemy that has betrayed me, untrustworthy. The communication between my mind and my body felt so broken. My work with you has helped me to repair this schism and learn entirely new (to me) ways of relating and speaking to myself.”
“I believe that you - Tracy - who you are and what you bring to this work is what makes it unique. Your presence, your energy, the obvious care/love you have for this work, and the safety you create are what make this work unique and allow deep and meaningful sessions to happen.”
“This might sound bad, but I was pretty skeptical of acupuncture in general before seeing you, and without my therapist’s “no no, this will be different” reassurance, I might not have gone. I’d had bad experiences with terrible emotional upheaval after acupuncture in the past, and didn’t want to experience that again.
“So: believing that these needles and the hands-on work you do could help me was already a fundamental shift in thinking. I see small ways, now, that I’m able to accept the unknown in other areas because of this. Even though I don’t fully understand acupuncture, I can be ok with the unknown because I understand that it’s not random, it’s not woo-woo hippie junk, and it's helping me.
“I also am learning to be more in tune with my body. I can feel shifts that alert me to underlying emotions or stress in a different way. During the hands-on work, I can tell the days when I can’t even relax my body enough to accept a hand on me; and I have also gotten much much better at calming my body in the moment, consciously.”
“The most striking thing you did on that first appointment was not rush the appointment at all…You never negated any of my problems and instead held them all in high importance, yet expressed the knowledge that they are impermanent and changeable, and visible as patterns. That appointment gave me hope. The biggest thing that changed is that I am functional again!!! To be relieved from debilitating headaches, and only after a few weeks of treatment, has given me my life back… and makes everything a lot more manageable. Right now, I feel way better than functional :)
“I love being able to see you every week and walking into your little room feels like home: a safe space for transformation. I love that I can bring up whatever is going on in that moment, and I feel our rapport is developing so naturally and that I have someone to talk to who can understand and relate to what I am feeling. I feel safe being vulnerable with you, and that is a treasure."
