Holistic Health Specialist

Greetings!  I am Dr. Tracie, owner, and founder of Essences of Wellness Authentic Transformation, LLC. I am a certified Dance/Movement Therapist (a healing approach that involves the use of dance and movement to improve physical, emotional, and mental well-being), Reflexologist, Holistic and Reiki Practitioner, with a Doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology (which is the holistic and spiritual approach to addressing mental, physical, social, emotional, creative and intellectual needs with an emphasis on the role of a spirit present within healing). It focuses on the positive influences and role models rather than concentrating on negative experiences.

I started juicing 20+ years ago purely to eliminate soft drinks and drinks with added sugars. I was very active and pro-fitness, practicing yoga, chi gong, tai chi, and meditation. As I continued to juice, I began to research more about the benefits of juicing and soon began juicing for fasting purposes. I discovered I had more energy, I was more alert, creativity increased, and I was much nicer! Soon family and friends were inquiring about my juices and wanting to try them. 20+ years later, I was inspired to create a unique program with my juices and smoothies from a holistic perspective. My detox program is designed for the “Whole Self”- mental, physical, and spiritual being; promoting total health and wellness.

Making ointments and teas is an inherit gift that was passed down from my great-grandmother.  She was a deaconess and a healer who was a prominent businesswoman in our community.  So it was no surprise, at an early age, it became a passion of mine as well.  Coming from a family and community of strong faith and belief, it was only natural to believe that God gives us what we need and most of it comes from a natural state.

I began making candles in elementary school with various aromas and gradually advanced to making butters, scrubs, bath salts, and herbal teas. In 2007, I created my first business and introduced body products.  Each had a theme with a focus on spiritual and emotional healing. With work and other commitments, I put the business on the back burner until now. 

I am so excited to re-introduce my body products and to incorporate them along with my juices and therapeutic modalities (services) to create a holistic approach to healthier living!

Other programs and workshops offered are Women Empowerment Workshops, Seasonal Transformation Workshops, Movement Meditation/Relaxation Groups, and Energy Healing Work.
