Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been shown to have physiological effects on the way the body experiences stress in several recent studies. Tracy has designed the EHA space to have a tranquil feeling, like a zen temple. The treatment rooms are quiet with low-lighting to encourage deep relaxation, with her addition of specific acu point combinations that promote sleep during your treatment. Tracy’s theory is that since acupuncture is a restorative detoxifying treatment and sleep naturally encourages the body’s healing processes, why not combine the two for a more powerful and effective treatment overall?
Most people sleep during their acupuncture treatments with Tracy and awaken refreshed with a sweet sense of euphoria afterward…”acu-stoned” is our pet term for it. Hey, it’s legal and comes with the treatment! In all seriousness, this type of relaxation is profoundly important for your healing process and supporting your immune system health.

Are you angry? Frustrated? Tired of the burdens of your life? Sleepless? Anxious at every waking moment or even in your dreams?
Your inner life is asking for your undivided attention…if only for a few minutes per day…
Meditation
is a profound practice that will open new vistas to your understanding of your life, yourself, and your world. Tracy can go over many types of practices that suit your disposition and goals of practice or ‘non-practice’. Learning meditation does not require any kind of religious commitment, only a curiosity about the inner workings of your mind and how that connects to your perception of what, apparently, ‘is’. This simple practice may lead to your development in the understanding of compassion. Compassion has a frequency and vibration to it. Compassion is a verb, not simple a mind-state experience. This image shows compassion as an energy form. Self-compassion is a necessity for you to develop the same feeling for others.
Tracy has been meditating since she was a small child. There are many layers in our pathways of development. A good meditation practice can help you find your way in places where seems to be no available guidance. Looking within truly yields all of the answers you will need to navigate your life.
