Connection to Body

Live & move in your body
safely, effectively, confidently, & enjoyably.

I have been teaching mindful movement for over 30 years to everyone from:
new moms who need to reconnect to their body,
to professional athletes,
to those who need to manage chronic pain & movement limitations.

Connection to the body is the primary pillar in my 4 Pillars of Fully Embodied Living.
Below, you can see the specific offerings I have in this pillar.

"I originally started seeing Tracy to resolve hip pain, however, in the process of working with her,
my lower back pain disappeared too. 20+ years later, I remain free from low back pain
as long as I keep up with all the things she taught me. I love that she mixes different forms of movement together so that I am never bored and my body is challenged in new ways”
