My Story

Hi, I’m Tracey, and this is my story.
From a young age, I knew I was meant to be in service to others. After high school, I pursued a degree in paramedicine and stepped into the world of emergency medical services. Being a first responder was intense and meaningful work, but over time the emotional and physical toll became undeniable.
I later returned to school to earn my BSN in nursing, believing this would bring me into greater alignment, but something still felt off. My body, mind, and spirit were out of sync, and eventually that imbalance manifested into illness.
A Turning Point
One morning, I woke up with a large red ring on my leg and felt like I had been hit by a train. It would take 18 months to finally receive a diagnosis: Lyme disease.
At the time, very little was understood about Lyme, and many patients were left feeling dismissed, isolated, and without answers. I spent years navigating chronic symptoms, cycles of antibiotics, pain, nausea, exhaustion, and the emotional toll that comes with living inside an invisible illness.
When conventional approaches failed to bring lasting relief, I realized I needed to look beyond what I had been taught.
That was the beginning of my path into natural medicine and deeper healing.
The Path of Plant Medicine
Cannabis was the first plant that truly supported me in a meaningful way. It helped manage my pain, nausea, nervous system dysregulation, and quality of life when other treatments had not.
My relationship with cannabis as medicine eventually brought me to Colorado in 2000 in search of safe access and a different way of living and healing. By 2001, I became a registered medical marijuana caregiver, working closely with individuals navigating chronic and terminal conditions during the early years of Colorado’s medical cannabis movement.
Over the years, I expanded my training to include clinical and regression hypnotherapy while continuing to explore integrative approaches to healing through plant medicine, nervous system support, meditation, sound therapy, and inner work.
A Deeper Awakening
My journey has not been linear. In 2018, after stepping away from the commercial cannabis industry to return to private client work, I experienced another major collapse related to Lyme disease. It became one of the most difficult periods of my life and forced me into a much deeper level of healing and self-exploration.
During that time, I began exploring psilocybin microdosing alongside cannabis therapy, sound healing, meditation, and deeper subconscious work. What unfolded through that process changed my life profoundly.
Over time, I began sleeping again. My nervous system slowly began to regulate. My relationship with my body shifted. I regained clarity, strength, hope, and eventually my life back in ways I never thought possible.
I began to understand healing not just as a physical or mental process, but as something deeply connected to the nervous system, the subconscious, the spirit, and our relationship with ourselves.
Returning to Self
Through my own healing journey, I came to understand that much of what we carry, trauma, stress, emotional pain, grief, and survival patterns, lives within the body and subconscious mind.
True healing begins when we create space to listen, reconnect, and gently support the body and mind in returning to balance and safety.
This understanding now guides everything I do.
Why I Do This Work
Peaceful Path was created in 2003 as a space for healing, reconnection, and inner transformation. Over the years, my work has continued to evolve alongside my own journey.
Today, I work primarily with individuals navigating chronic illness, nervous system dysregulation, spiritual awakening, and plant medicine integration, especially those walking the difficult and often isolating path of chronic Lyme disease.
I do not believe healing is something another person gives us. Healing is a deeply personal journey that requires courage, commitment, support, and a willingness to reconnect with ourselves in new ways.
My role is to walk alongside others as a guide and supportive presence, offering tools, perspective, sound therapy, integration support, and lived experience to help people reconnect with their own inner strength and healing capacity.
All healing, in its truest form, is a return to alignment within the body, the mind, and the spirit.
Love and Blessings,
Tracey
