Tracey developed a healthy respect and passion for massage when she sustained a neck and shoulder injury while training to compete in swimming at her third Paralympic Games in Sydney 2000.

Remedial massage was the most effective tool she found to manage her pain and injury. It allowed her to continue to train and compete at an elite level.

At this time Tracey had embarked on a career as a lawyer. A few years later she decided to take up massage as a hobby, but quickly realised this was her calling and that she wanted to be able to help others continue to do the things in life that they love by managing and alleviating their pain and discomfort.

Tracey, who has been blind since birth, is escorted to work by her guide dog who you will see waiting patiently in the clinic.
