My mission is to help people who want to live their best lives become vibrantly healthy!
I had just a small spark of hope that things could get better when I was seriously ill with lupus in 1995. I was convinced my body hated me. But I decided that for the sake of my two young sons, especially, that I was going to make a complete recovery even though I had no idea how I would make it happen. And I was determined that I would find purpose and meaning for all I’d been through by using my experiences to help others someday. I turned to holistic therapies, and with a lot of determination, I started out on my life-long journey of healing. Now decades later, lupus (and the other auto-immune diseases that came along after it) are all completely gone. I’m deeply grateful to be in the best health of my life and to have a career as a holistic wellness professional, supporting others on their healing journey, too.
What others are saying…
“The chronic fatigue and pain from fibromyalgia were so severe I didn’t think I could keep working much longer. Having an ‘invisible illness’ that friends and coworkers couldn’t understand was hard to deal with. Tracey is compassionate and understands what I’m going through because of her own experiences. The pain and fatigue are gone now, and the stress it’s taken off me feels like a new beginning.” – Jordan –

Spirit of the Bear - the Story behind the Name

Bear has always been one of the most important and powerful medicines throughout history.

As you might imagine from the name of my business, Bear is my spirit animal.
There was a moment in 1995, when I had been so gravely ill from lupus and in severe pain with no relief for months, when I made a choice that forever changed the course of my life.
With all my heart and soul I decided that even though I had no idea at that moment how I would make it happen, I would heal myself from lupus and make a full recovery for the sake of my two young sons.
And I promised myself that I would use my experiences to help others someday, too.
And so began my trek into the unknown wilderness of my healing journey.
I was determined to truly heal holistically – mind, body, spirit.
It took tremendous courage to look at the whole picture of what had brought me to that place of being so ill in order to change my health.
I knew change would be hard, but I also knew change was possible, and I was willing to do the hard work, no matter how long it took.
Hope, optimism, courage, resilience – they’ve always been my superpowers.
I found holistic practitioners who each walked beside me for a part of the journey. And even though no one else could do my healing work for me, they were there to guide me and support me.
One of the healers I saw back then was a Native American shaman woman who told me, “You need to call your spirit back.” Her words have stayed with me over the years and have continued to have deeper meaning.
I wanted to know how to heal myself, so I began to study with great teachers and mentors who taught me their plant medicine, holistic nutrition, reflexology, and emotional well-being techniques, and I am forever grateful for the wisdom that they shared with me.
As I studied herbalism, I learned that in many indigenous cultures around the world and throughout the ages, they have had a tradition that Bear is the totem animal or spirit animal for the healer, especially for those who work with plant medicine.
One of my mentors and I spent many happy hours in the mountains around Elk Mountain, WY as she taught me her Bear medicine and introduced me to her plant friends like Osha. We even had a close call with a bear near a huckleberry patch one day.
My healing journey became my greatest growth opportunity. Lupus (and the other autoimmune conditions I was diagnosed with) and other life challenges seemed so devastating at the time, but those journeys through the wilderness were a gift.
The more I became committed to my well-being and growth, the more I wanted to learn and to keep pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
This led to my journey with martial arts where I really began to find my own strength and power.
I was delighted to learn that the “kiai” in martial arts – the short, loud sound that helps you focus your power when you strike – means “the sound of my spirit.” Every time I make that kiai sound, I feel happy as I think, “I have called my spirit back! Do you hear the sound of my spirit!”
Yes, the healing journey and all the change that came with it has been hard, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
It’s made me who I am and who I’m still becoming.
And now I have the extraordinary privilege and honor to be one of the holistic practitioners who walks beside others for a season as they forge along on their healing journeys, too.
And I share with them my plant medicine, and holistic nutrition, and reflexology, and emotional well-being techniques.
And I support them in the ways that they ask me to so they can be empowered to take control of their health and well-being, always reminding them of their light and their strengths which are already there.
And some day, they will sit with someone going through difficult times when change seems hard, and they will say, “I have been there. And I remembered my strengths and my light, and I see your strengths and your light, too. And I will be right here beside you during this part of your journey……..”
And that is a story of the Spirit of the Bear, the Bear Medicine that’s been passed down through healers throughout all of human history.
Blessings and love,
Tracey xx

There will be times when standing alone feels too hard, too scary, and we’ll doubt our ability to make our way through the uncertainty. Someone somewhere will say, “Don’t do it, you don’t have what it takes to survive the wilderness.” This is where you reach deep in your wild heart and say, “I AM THE WILDERNESS.” – Brené Brown from her book Braving the Wilderness
