Currently at University pursuing a professional degree in Psychology, Traci hopes to explore the therapeutic aspect of story. Her interests include mythology & folklore, herbal craft, gardening, indigenous traditions of healing & wellness, women's issues, social justice, knitting, hill walking, and ecology.

Traci's therapeutic approach treats the whole person. She invites her clients to co-create a session that is uniquely appropriate for them. Her goal is to craft a Healing Room; a safe and nurturing space where the bodymind may awaken to health, wholeness, and beauty.
