Do you feel a disconnect between your mind and body, and are therefore inhibited to move?
Are you someone who was told not to sing out loud, only to mouth the words, and therefore are afraid to sing?
Are you struggling with trauma of any source and seek an integrative complement to talk therapy?
Perhaps you are ready for a wellness maintenance practice that is not talk-based.
Do you want to find a sense of serenity within our convoluted world?

Tracy with Galena and Sky
"When standard physical therapy didn’t take me any further, I turned to Tracy for help. Working with her literally changed my life, my functionality, my alignment, my confidence. The breadth of Tracy’s knowledge and experience amazed me. Through a personalized program, over a variety of sessions, Tracy was able to pinpoint problem areas and offer guided solutions for the more advanced functioning and healing I was looking for. As my spinal injury was from a traumatic accident, she also provided a knowledgeable and safe space for me as I worked to recover. I give Tracy’s work my highest recommendation. She is a tremendously valuable asset to this community."

TRACING sessions are for those who hold trauma due to abuse, loss, illness, injury, addiction or for anyone seeking enhanced wellbeing in our pandemic-weary world.
TRACING is a therapeutic and expressive practice, developed by Tracy Penfield. Breathing, movement and somatic integration are where we begin, and other forms may be explored, including writing, drawing and vocalizing (toning, singing).
TRACING is rooted in the premise that we trace and retrace paths in our lives, on our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual layers. We want to clear and journey on the healthy paths and abandon the destructive ones. TRACING fosters healthy growth and dynamic balance. It is a healing practice, in which:
Our imagination is our most powerful tool

"Trauma comes I many shapes and sizes, much like all human beings. Tracy has a knack for customizing care based on the individual’s personal situation and preferences, making each session a unique experience of self-discovery and healing. I leave feeling a sense of peace and confidence through her continued guidance and support. This has certainly been life changing and I am beyond grateful to have Tracy on my
journey to recovery."

A private session blends breathing, energy work, movement and personalized guided meditation in a series of choices made by the participant. For people with trauma, even breathing can be painful and scary, and moving freely, impossible. TRACING offers a healing reconnection with the mind. Creative play may engage one or more forms, such as moving and writing about it. Participants are guided with as much or as little structure as they desire. TRACING is highly individualized.
A group session also consists of choices, for each participant will have their own physical and emotional comfort level. The group may be family members, couples, peers, and may be of blended or specified gender identities, such as middle school girls or gender non-conforming teens.
~All ages, genders and abilities welcome: Tracy has conducted individual and group sessions for children, teens and adults. Safety and trust will be established as primary for all.

"The work Tracy offers turned my life around. While talk therapy is very useful, Tracing works with trauma and anxiety on a whole other level. I look forward to my sessions every week because it’s a constant guarantee that it will ease whatever tension I can’t let go of. I deeply appreciate the feeling of progress I walk away with every time." – Cait M.
The cost of a TRACING session depends upon the location and length of session. The first consultation is free of charge and sliding scale fees are possible.
