About Tracey

"The way I help people care for their brain and body supports them to feel calmer, clearer, and more capable as they age."

About Tracey's Method

I help people take real, practical care of their brain health, not through fear, but through small, sustainable habits built around movement, food, stress, and connection. This became personal in a different way when Alzheimer's affected my own family. In 2024, I became a Certified Brain Longevity® Specialist through the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation, and brain health became the center of everything I teach.


Who I work with

Maybe you've watched a parent or partner change with Alzheimer's or dementia, and quietly started wondering, "is this going to happen to me?" Maybe you're the one carrying the daily weight of caring for someone you love, and underneath the exhaustion, you're also worried about what that stress is doing to your own brain. Maybe you've simply noticed small changes, in your memory, your balance, your energy, and you're not sure what's normal in a world full of conflicting advice. Or maybe nothing's wrong yet, and that's exactly the point, you want to get ahead of it while time is still fully on your side.


Wherever you're starting from, you're not lazy, and you're not failing. You likely already know that movement, food, sleep, stress, and connection matter for brain health. What's usually missing isn't more information. It's support - turning what you know into something that survives a real, full life.


Why this matters

The real point is finishing your sentence. Remembering why you walked into the room. Still knowing exactly who everyone is around the dinner table, twenty years from now. Staying present for the people and the life you love.


Your parent's diagnosis, or your own worry, is not your destiny. There's no cure, and I'll never pretend there is. But there's a great deal within your control, and that's exactly where I focus.


How I teach it

I work across four key areas: movement and strength, stress and nervous system care, food and nourishment, and connection and purpose. Yoga and Qi Gong are two of the tools I use to teach these, alongside chair-based movement, breathwork, and small daily habits, tools in service of brain health.


I've been teaching movement since 2006, with over 1,000 hours of training, yin, hatha, and restorative yoga, anatomy, yogic and Taoist philosophy, and five-element and subtle channel theory from Traditional/Classical Chinese Medicine, and more recently, Qi Gong, both seated and standing. I focus on function, not form. I don't care what a pose or movement looks like. I care whether you get the actual benefit.


My goal is simple: to help you help yourself toward a brain and body you can rely on for the years ahead.


More about Tracey

I was born and raised on Guernsey, a small island between England and France. My parents and extended family still live there, and I fly back as often as I can manage.


In August 1999, at 31, I moved to Peterborough, Ontario, and I've lived in this area ever since. I can't imagine living anywhere that isn't near water, and summers here, on and in the lakes, are my favourite part of the year.


I share my love of the outdoors and animals with my partner, Graeme. Between us, we've got two dogs, Chewy and Sophie, who occasionally make guest appearances in my live online classes, our families, and a shared love of aging well together.

My goal as a teacher is simple: to help you help yourself toward better health and a longer, fuller life. If that's what you're looking for, here's how to start practicing with me.

A word on how I use AI

I occasionally use artificial intelligence (AI) as a supportive tool in my work, much as I might use a research assistant, editor, or brainstorming partner. It can help me organize ideas, explore research, and refine written materials, but the teaching, interpretation, experience, and final decisions are always my own. Everything I share is shaped by my professional training, years of teaching, ongoing study, and my commitment to providing thoughtful, human-centred guidance.

With 1,000's of hours of teacher training, and evolving and expanding my teaching over the years - the learning never ends. My goal as a teacher is to help you help yourself to better health and wellness.
