“My husband and I have been taking Physical Therapy with Tracey in her Balance & Mobility classes for a year and a half, and we recommend her highly! She is a delight to work with every week and we have learned so much about how to deal with all the changes in our bodies as we age. Tracey concentrates on each individuals’ specific problems and prepares us with different exercises for balance and strength to reduce the risk of falling.
Her rules are never to copy what your neighbor in the class is able to do and to only do what you body is comfortable with. You will smile from the minute you walk into one of her classes until you walk out!”

“Tracey is the best Pilates Instructor we have ever had. We love her upbeat, optimistic, can-do attitude which is so supportive and encouraging. She has a way of describing exactly how your body should feel when you perform an exercise correctly, and helping us isolate exactly the correct muscle, especially our interior core muscles which can’t be seen. She adapts her instruction to each student’s individual performance level, challenging those with more advanced capabilities while keeping the entire class accessible to everyone no matter what their ability.
