Hi I'm Traci
We all deserve happiness, and it can be hard to reach without our health.
I love what I do - working with people from all walks of life with all kinds of hurdles. People like you and me. You might be feeling exhausted from chronic pain, recovering from an injury or need a little self-care to live a healthier / happier life.
So many of my clients come to me as a last resort and often say they have been told there is nothing else they can do and to take some form of medication.
I believe it takes a community to heal, not just one person. We have some amazing natural health practitioners in our community that I often encourage my clients to reach out to and together we can help to get your health back on track.
Community is very important to me.
My role in our community is to support you to take back the power over your own health, whether that is with a Bowen session to realign your body and calm your nervous system or it may be to suggest something that you hadn’t even thought of before. I love being able to support you so that you can reach the happiness you deserve and do everything you want to do in your life.
My Story
I’m a mother, wife and Bowen Therapist, with qualifications in Health Coaching, certified with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and a qualified Chef.
I know the importance of what we put in our bodies and how we treat our bodies through our lifestyle choices.
Delicious food for a healthy life is a passion of mine.
How did I get here?
In hindsight it started many years prior to this, however in 2009 I felt like everything was falling apart. I was extremely tired to the point where I felt like a wind up toy, I would force myself to exercise however I was exhausted all the time, overwhelmed with anything and everything, and was really not enjoying life. I felt like a failure really as I had 3 young children and I didn't feel I was being the best person I knew I could be.
I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition "Hashimotos" which affects my thyroid.
I found I wasn’t getting the answers I needed for my body to heal from mainstream medicine so I started looking into alternative health practices. It was a long and lonely road, and I realised there must be so many people, like me, out there not getting the answers they seek and who just don’t know where to start.
This is when I decided to train as a Health Coach and then Bowen Therapist. I have a small clinic in Levin where I've been practising Bowen since 2018 and coaching my clients about health and wellness.
