This happy little viola was smiling up at me from a crack in the sidewalk at the Botanic Gardens. It's not just surviving there, this resilient little viola is thriving - gently insisting that life finds a way, beauty doesn't ask permission, and even the smallest presence can soften a hard world. 🌸 🌱 ☺️

A gentle reminder for today 🤍

Your inner peace matters more than you may realize. Taking a moment to slow down, breathe, and meet yourself with compassion isn’t a luxury—it’s essential.

When you soften toward yourself, when you choose patience over pressure and kindness over criticism, that energy doesn’t stay contained. It ripples outward—into your relationships, your spaces, and the world around you.

And right now, the world deeply needs that kind of peace.

So please, be gentle with yourself today. Your calm presence, your compassion, your grounded heart… they make a difference.

Much love,

Tracey (and Molly, too🐾)

✍🏽 There’s something I want to share that sits at the very heart of how I work… 🤍

I truly believe that healing begins the moment you feel heard.

Not rushed. Not brushed off. Not reduced to a list of symptoms—but deeply, genuinely listened to.

Because your symptoms? They’re not random. They’re messages. Little nudges from your body asking for attention, care, and understanding. And when we slow down enough to listen, we can begin to uncover what’s really underneath—whether that’s stress, lifestyle patterns, emotional load, or something your body has been trying to process for a while.

This is why I take a whole-person approach. Your body, your mind, your daily life—they’re all connected. Your sleep, your relationships, your nourishment, your stress levels… it all matters. And you are the only one who has lived your full story. That’s why one of my core values is this: you are the expert on yourself. I’m simply here to walk alongside you, ask thoughtful questions, and help you connect the dots.

Even in reflexology sessions, it’s never just about the feet. It’s about your nervous system, your experiences, and creating a space where your body can finally exhale. When we pair hands-on work with meaningful conversation, something really beautiful happens—deeper relaxation, clearer insight, and often more lasting change.

Because healing doesn’t happen in a rushed, surface-level space.
It happens where there is safety. Trust. Presence.

When you feel seen, your body softens.
When you feel supported, your system begins to regulate.
And sometimes, that feeling of being truly understood… is the first medicine.

This work isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about relationship. Partnership. Meeting you where you are and supporting you in ways that are actually sustainable and personalized to your life.

And the truth is—so many of my clients already hold incredible wisdom within themselves. Sometimes they just need the space, the questions, and the support to reconnect with it.

If you’ve been craving that kind of care… the kind where you’re not rushed, where your story matters, and where you’re supported as a whole person—I would love to work with you.

Whether through reflexology sessions or inside my holistic wellness program, I’m here to support you gently, thoughtfully, and at your pace. 🤍

Much love,

Tracey xx (and Molly, too 🐾)

🌀🌪️💨 Yesterday, we had a record-breaking windstorm in Wyoming. I've lived in Wyoming almost all my life, and I've never experienced anything like it. Pretty much the entire city of Cheyenne was shut down due to high winds, power outages, widespread damages and dangers from fallen trees and power lines, and the dust storm that came with the winds. It's being reported that the winds were the equivalent of a category 2 hurricane. Early this morning, it wasn't too terribly windy, so Molly and I went for a walk at the Botanic Gardens and Lions Park. I was stunned by the damage. So many huge evergreens that might be as old as 100 years old were ripped up by their roots with big holes left in the ground. Even some of the large lilac bushes have been reduced to just 1 foot tall stumps in the ground. I felt heartbroken to see all that, and it makes me more resolved than ever to do all I can about climate change.

✍🏽 Have you ever seen a Rosemary plant bloom or a white African violet change colors to purple? I've always wanted to get my Rosemary to bloom, but I've never been able to. And this week, I walked by it in my home, and then did a double take, and BEHOLD! Tiny little pale blue flowers are budding out all over it! I'm beyond thrilled about it! What a glimmer to celebrate! 🌿💃🏽✨🎉

And then my white African violets bloomed, and to my surprise, one of them has all purple flowers and the other has some partial purple flowers. I had no idea they could change colors like that, but I read up on it, and it turns out that with the right light, they sometimes do. 🤩🪴💜

And my Thanksgiving cactus is starting to bloom in March! What a treat! 🌵🌸💫

The light has slowly been returning, and these plants have felt it. 🌅🪴🌺

It reminded me how much we're like that, too. Sometimes growth happens quietly beneath the surface, long before we see the first bloom. A little more light, a little more warmth, and suddenly something inside us starts opening again. 🪹🌱🌸

If this season has felt slow or heavy, take heart. Your bloom may be closer than you think. ☀️🌷🪺

As the quote goes, "Where flowers bloom, so does hope." 🪻🌷🌻🌤️🌈🍀💫🕊️

Much love,

Tracey xx

Thank you again so much to all of you who've donated so many bags of food for Needs Inc. Food Pantry. Your kindness and generosity are amazing and greatly appreciated. 🙏💞☺️🫶

My clients and I do a Reflexology Giveaway and Food Drive for Needs Inc. Food Pantry at Spirit of the Bear each month. 🍞🥫🧃🍎

For every bag of groceries you bring to my office for Needs Inc. Food Pantry, your name goes in the drawing once for a free reflexology session. So 3 bags of groceries = 3 entries in the drawing. 🎫🎫🎫

Then I draw a winner at the end of each month. The winner can either use the session for themselves, or I can give it to them as a gift certificate that they can give to someone else. 🎁👣💝🫶

Thanks again to all of you who've helped those in need in our community. I appreciate you so much!!! ✨💖✨

Blessings and love,

I’m excited to share some happy news — I’m now serving on the Board of Directors for the American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB)! 🎉

The ARCB is a nonprofit, independent testing organization that has been setting the standard of excellence in Reflexology since 1991. It was created to promote the field through the recognition of competent professional practitioners, and its work plays such an important role in our industry.

I’ve been a national board certified member of the ARCB since 2002 and have been practicing Reflexology for over 25 years. Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how important strong standards, professional competency, and public trust are to the growth of our field — which makes this opportunity especially meaningful to me.

At its core, the ARCB is dedicated to:
✨ Certifying the competency of professional Reflexologists
✨ Protecting public safety
✨ Serving as a national referral board for certified practitioners

I’m truly honored to support an organization whose mission strengthens our profession and helps ensure high standards for both practitioners and the clients we serve. I’m looking forward to contributing, learning, and continuing to advocate for excellence in Reflexology.

Here’s to advancing the field of reflexology together! 💙

With gratitude,

Tracey xo
