I will Motivate, Educate and Provide Accountability throughout our time together.
As your coach, my end goal is to put the power back in YOUR hands.
“Surge Health Coaching was awesome. I felt like she really understood me as an athlete. Before coaching with Tracy I was moving slowly toward my goals, now I’m more focused and see how my actions accelerate my results. Tracy is knowledgeable, fun to work with, and helped me set realistic benchmarks. I feel more prepared to go into my season.” - High School Athlete, Arizona
Optimistic Realist
I started my health journey over a decade ago as a mother of two competitive athletes, and an active weekend warrior myself . Over the years, I experienced the challenges of fueling our heavy work loads and optimizing recovery. I also supported all of us through injuries and even surgeries. My curiosity grew from a support role to wanting to have a more educated, active role in the health of my family and others. The more I studied, the more I learned about the interconnection between all of our systems, and the synergy that can be achieved when we support all aspects of our health.
Now a parent of a professional athlete, I know how small the window of opportunity is to showcase your talents and perform at your highest level. Understanding and customizing treatments and care for an individual is the difference between Performance and Injury. Let's Unleash Your Potential.

Motivate
I will introduce attainable and sustainable tactics that will make you feel successful and put you on a path of long term health. I will be your cheerleader throughout this process.
Educate
It is imperative to know your why. Understanding why an action will support your desired outcome always makes it more impactful. I encourage all athletes to be curious and ask questions, but I know how busy most athletes can be. My job is to provide the knowledge and resources to help lead discussions and allow you to choose what is best for your health journey.
Accountability
Having someone in your corner to remind you of the outcomes you identified will help keep you on track. We will work to incorporate tactics within your busy schedule, be it at home or on the road. Regular sessions and check-ins will create a comfortable pace for lasting success.
