What I Offer
Hi, I'm Tracy! I specialise as a Oncology soft touch therapist, helping patients with cancer and other medical issues. I am a reiki practitioner offering holistic massage and treatments. I also love to make natural vegan handmade gifts and essential oils, all available in my shop.
My Background
I spent 34 years in the care industry, the last twelve years as a trainer. The life of a trainer meant that I worked long hours and travelled a lot, I also spent a lot time away from home. In January 2020, I was diagnosed with Lobular Carcinoma Insitu (LCIS) which starts off as a benign breast condition, however mine led to surgery in March 2020, the day after lockdown was announced. I made a good recovery and returned to work, but my menopausal symptoms took over my life, physically & mentally after surgery. In August 2021, I collapsed at home and was diagnosed with burnout and bradycardia. It was time to slow down and rethink my work/life balance.
Qualifications
When my children were growing up, I had studied holistic therapies and achieved a Diploma in Indian Head Massage but hadn’t really done anything with it. I decided, that due to my career in the care industry that I had many transferrable skills, to go back to studying and updated my qualifications in massage and holistic therapies.
My friend introduced me to Jennifer Young Training School and my new journey began as I enrolled on the Oncology soft touch therapy post graduate diploma. I achieved Reiki level 1&2 and Guided Meditation teaching diploma and I am currently working towards Menopause Practitioner Diploma.
