ABOUT ME
REAL EXPERIENCE. PRACTICAL SUPPORT. A HUMAN APPROACH.
I’m Tracey Race, a Registered Nurse with more than 30 years’ experience in healthcare, a Master Mental Health & Wellness Coach, mindfulness instructor and trauma-informed practitioner.
My career has taken me through intensive care, clinical education, resuscitation, simulation and staff wellbeing. I’ve spent much of my working life supporting people through challenging moments, and I’ve seen how stress, overwhelm, exhaustion and the pressures of everyday life can affect both our mental and physical wellbeing.
Over time, my work has expanded beyond responding to illness and crisis to a deeper interest in mental wellbeing, behaviour change and the everyday things that help people function and feel better.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
I know that life can be complicated.
We can understand what we should be doing and still struggle to make changes. We can know that our thoughts aren't helpful and still get caught up in them. We can be capable, caring and successful while quietly feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or stuck.
That's why I don't believe people need to be “fixed”.
I believe we need to be understood, supported and equipped with practical skills that help us navigate real life.
My own experiences with anxiety, self-doubt and difficult periods of life have also shaped the way I work. They have taught me the importance of compassion, curiosity and meeting people where they are rather than adding more pressure, judgement or expectations.
HOW I WORK
My approach brings together:
-
Mental wellbeing and psychological flexibility
-
Behaviour change and habit development
-
Mindfulness and present-moment awareness
-
Self-compassion
-
Stress and emotional regulation
-
Practical lifestyle foundations
-
Evidence-informed coaching strategies
I don't believe in quick fixes or telling people to simply “think positive”.
Instead, I help people understand what's happening, notice the patterns that may be keeping them stuck, develop useful skills and take realistic steps that fit their actual lives.
Simple doesn't always mean easy.
But small, consistent changes can create meaningful progress over time.

WHAT MATTERS TO ME
I believe wellbeing should be practical, accessible and grounded in real life.
No judgement.
No shame.
No unrealistic promises.
No expectation that you need to have everything figured out before asking for support.
Whether I'm working one-to-one, speaking to a community group, supporting a workplace or healthcare team, or working with young people in schools, my aim is the same:
to help people build the understanding, skills and confidence to navigate life with greater flexibility and self-compassion.
You are not broken.
You are human.
And sometimes, having the right support can help you see a way forward.
