Susan Shelton Tracy believes that the body can carry its own intelligence for recovery when it is felt, heard, and gently guided. At Susan Tracy Healing, she helps clients reorient toward that inner capacity to heal, offering practices that may help ease blocked energetic patterns and invite a kinder relationship with symptoms and the story beneath them. As a spiritual and energy-based practice, Susan Tracy Healing supports people as they process emotion and the echoes that follow difficult experiences. It offers sessions informed by a range of hands-on and energetic modalities. Healing practices inspired by shamanic traditions form the principal focus, complemented by Reiki, Zero Balancing, and tailored spiritual guidance. Services are available both in person and remotely, allowing people to work with Tracy from various places around the world. Since formally opening her practice in 2014, she has shaped an approach that blends intuitive listening, embodied techniques, and practical tools to meet each person where they are. "I believe healing is not something done to you," Tracy says. "It's something you are invited to remember." Her philosophy rests on the idea that emotions and energetic patterns are held in the body and that bringing gentle attention to those places creates the possibility of change. Sessions usually begin with a conversation and space-clearing, then move into a collaborative exploration of what the client is experiencing. Tools such as smoke, aromatic waters, a small stone used as an energetic receptacle, and rhythmic sounds are woven into sessions to create a focused, supportive environment for shifting what is stuck. Assuming the role of a guide and conduit, Tracy gathers impressions, offers reflections, and supports clients as they learn to interpret the body's signals for themselves. "Curiosity and tenderness are the drivers of lasting change," she says, framing healing as a practice that asks for both courage and gentleness. The shape of Tracy's practice reflects a long, cumulative path of study and life experience. Drawn to the natural world from an early age, she first encountered energy work in 1999 and continued to deepen that study in subsequent decades. Along the way, Tracy established a boutique devoted to body confidence and personal expression, an endeavor that is part of the same arc of empowerment that informs her healing work. Over time, Tracy explored various somatic and energy healing modalities. But it was when she began training in practices rooted in shamanic traditions that she felt an immediate sense of familiarity. "I sensed that this work resonated with something I had long carried; it felt like I had done these practices and rituals before," she says. In these shamanic sessions, Tracy encourages clients to explore deeper layers of the psyche. "These are journeys into the unconscious, where memories and sensations can be met and integrated," she states. They're oriented toward helping people bring disconnected parts back into alignment with their present lives and discover hidden stories and gifts. Techniques may include touch therapies that address structural and energetic tensions, energy balancing methods that encourage the body's regulation, and guided journeys that open new perspectives on recurring patterns. The aim is to help people find ways to feel more grounded and return to a fuller sense of agency, along with training people how to be their own healers. Committed to education and accessibility, Tracy seeks to make shamanic and energy-informed approaches more understandable to people who are curious but cautious. At the same time, she urges those already on a healing path to deepen their practice. A session with Tracy typically unfolds in three phases. It begins with listening and clearing, followed by techniques tailored to what the client is experiencing at the moment. The final phase focuses on grounding and identifying practical next steps. Throughout the process, Tracy emphasizes choice. Clients are reminded that they are the ones guiding their healing, while the healer shares insights and supports transitions. "The most important map in any room," Tracy says, "is the map the client brings. My work is to help them read it with care." Ultimately, at Susan Tracy Healing, Tracy invites people to attend to their body's messages and cultivate a steadier relationship with inner knowing. For those drawn to this work, she offers structured, intuitive support for reconnecting with the capacity to move forward with more balance and self-trust.
