About Me

Hi, I’m Tracy.

I have loved movement and exercise since I started dancing at age 3. Health became my passion in high school when I lost my grandmother to complications from type 1 diabetes and my grandfather to a sudden heart attack. My remaining grandmother then went through heart bypass surgery, and I learned about exercise for health as she did cardiac rehab. These experiences ignited my interest in exercise as something more than fun.

I studied Health and Exercise Science at Wake Forest University, where I did honors research on the interactions between diet and exercise in weight loss. I then earned my Master’s in Exercise and Sport Science at UNC Chapel Hill. I started working with people on their weight loss goals in 2001.

My passion is helping people reach their health and wellness goals safely and effectively. I love creating a safe, no-judgement zone and celebrating with people when they achieve their goals. I am a nerdy teacher at heart. I read daily and take hours of classes yearly to stay on top of the latest information. My goal is to teach you how to stay healthy and help you understand why I recommend the things that I do.
