About Me
Hi, I’m Tracy
Hi, I’m Tracy – a qualified Massage Therapist and Reflexologist with core passion for helping others improve their quality of life in some way everyday.
After years working in a demanding HR career, I realised I was running on empty. I needed to reset, rebalance, and reconnect – not just for myself, but for those I wanted to help. So I quit my day job, took some much needed time out to escape everyday life for a while, start my own healing journey and realise my lifelong dream of creating my own business offering a calm, welcoming safe space to support you with your own wellness goals and empower you to decide what is best for your health and lifestyle choices too.
From the moment you get in touch you’ll be greeted with a warm, friendly, respectful approach. I have a calming nature but like to sprinkle a little humour into life along the way. I’m thoughtful, genuine and caring and work hard to make sure you feel prioritised and nurtured whilst ever you are a client at The Retreat.
When I’m not working at The Retreat I love going on adventures with James (my partner) and Fergie (my Cockapoo). We love exploring new places, camping, long walks and especially trips to the seaside! I love reading a good book, getting absorbed in a juicy TV series, dancing in the kitchen and when I have time, getting creative.
Professional Expertise
I trained at The Natural Health School in Therapeutic Massage and Reflexology, where all tutors were practising therapists in a Macmillan cancer unit, giving me a strong foundation in both clinical and compassionate care. Being an accredited member of both the Federation of Holistic Therapists and Association of Reflexologists means you can relax knowing you’re in safe, skilled hands, with someone who meets high standards of training, ethics, and professional care. It also means I'm committed to ongoing professional development – always learning, growing, and refining my practice so I can offer the best possible care. (You also may even be able to claim back the cost of your treatments through health insurance!)
From focused appointments dedicated to massage, a facial or reflexology, to bespoke treatment experiences created specifically for or by you, everything I offer is designed to nurture your resilience and empower you to live your best life. I’m also proud to welcome new clients with a special New Client Offer – 60 minutes for just £45 – it’s never too late to start investing in yourself.
I enjoy getting to know my clients, and many now trust me to just do what I feel is best for them based on a quick check-in at the beginning of their appointment. I also love meeting new clients and get excited to welcome them to The Retreat so check out my New Client Offer if you know you would benefit from some pampering with purpose.
Meet Fergie – The Real Boss
If you visit The Retreat, chances are you’ll meet Fergie – my gentle and friendly Cockapoo who loves to snooze through treatments and offer the occasional cuddle. His hypoallergenic fur and calm energy bring an extra layer of comfort to many of my clients, who find his presence grounding and therapeutic.
That said, we understand that not everyone is an animal lover – and that’s completely okay! If you’d prefer not to have Fergie around during your session, just let me know. No judgment, no fuss – just the peaceful space you need.
