In the last 10 years in this role, Tracy has worked with hundreds of men, women and children in her private practice as well as the University of Florida’s intensive outpatient program healing disordered eating and diet trauma.

JILL GRAHAM
Jill is an energy healer and holistic life coach. Besides working one-on-one with clients, Jill also co-runs a group out of a desire for herself and others to be able to live as fully as possible. Jill helps people integrate the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of themselves, and encourages them to experience and express themselves more deeply in each and every moment.
Jill says: “Life today can sometimes seem like a never ending struggle with so many stresses and pressures and expectations from both ourselves and others. We can find ourselves repeating the same patterns, encountering the same blocks and feeling powerless to change them. Yet peace and freedom are possible if you are able to flow with life instead of fighting, resisting or pushing it away. I love the gentle yet powerful way Emotional Connection meets you where you are, helps you re-discover your true self, release destructive patterns, and find acceptance and harmony with all parts of yourself, and become fully present with the rhythm and flow of life.”
