For Women Who Want to Feel Strong, Clear, and At Home in Their Body

You don’t have to be in crisis to want something different.

Maybe you’re just tired—of the tension, the pain, the overthinking.
Or maybe you’re simply ready to feel more like yourself—
in your skin, your strength, your life.

This is where movement becomes medicine. Where strength meets sensitivity. Where your nervous system learns a new way to respond.


We don’t just build muscle. We build resilience. We restore mobility. We retrain your body to move with less tension and more ease— so you can create a practice that evolves with you,not against you.

This is for women of all walks—high-achievers, creatives, caretakers, late bloomers. If your body is asking for something deeper, this is your place to begin.

Access your body’s own intelligence to support long-term clarity,emotional resilience, and grounded energy— from the inside out.


Movement is the Portal

Not to fix yourself—but to come back to yourself.

If you’re ready to stop overriding your body,
tune into what’s real,
and build a practice that supports who you are now—
you’re in the right place.

This 6-month 1:1 coaching container is designed for women who are done with burnout, perfectionism, and performative wellness.
They want something steadier. Smarter. More sustainable.

You’ll strengthen your body, retrain your nervous system, and build a movement practice that actually fits your life—not just your calendar.

This isn’t about pushing through.
And it’s definitely not about abandoning yourself to keep up.

It’s about leading from your center.
With consistency, clarity, and embodied confidence.

Ready to stop overriding your body, tune into what’s real, and let embodied self-connection reshape how you move through the world?

This Is for Women Who Want to Move Better and Feel Strong Again

You’ve pushed through pain, perfectionism, and performance long enough.
Now, you're ready for something that actually supports you.

This 1:1 coaching is designed for women who want:

  • A stronger, more capable body

  • Less tension, fewer flare-ups

  • More mobility, stability, and endurance

  • A movement practice that adapts to real life—not the other way around

You don’t need another fitness plan you’ll burn out on.
You need a body-first approach that helps you feel good and function better.

In This Work, You’ll Learn How to:

  • Build sustainable strength without injury or overload

  • Improve posture, alignment, and core support

  • Reduce pain by retraining how your body moves under stress

  • Support joint stability and mobility with functional patterns

  • Rewire nervous system responses so your body doesn’t default to tension

  • Recover faster and move with more ease and efficiency

  • Create a movement rhythm that fits your season, your energy, your goals

  • Develop consistency without relying on willpower or shame

  • Shift habits that lead to burnout and physical wear-and-tear

    You’ll train in a private, distraction-free studio with zero pressure to perform—just the right dose of challenge, support, and structure to meet your body where it is and help it move forward.

    This Is About More Than Movement

    But we start there—because when your body feels strong, supported, and aligned, everything else gets easier.

What Is a Somatic Approach?

Movement That Trains Your Body and Your Awareness

Your body speaks its own language—subtle, powerful, and often drowned out by the noise of daily life.
Without conscious movement and awareness, it becomes easy to miss what your body is really asking for.

Mindfulness can offer a pause—but it rarely teaches you how to listen with your body.
Somatic movement does.

Through this approach, you learn to sense, feel, and respond from the inside out.
You begin to decode tension, breath, posture, and sensation—not as problems to fix, but as messages to work with.

With regular somatic practice, you’ll:

  • Expand your physical and emotional vocabulary

  • You’ll learn to recognize your body’s signals early—before pain, tension, or shutdown take over.

  • Build trust in your body’s signals and rhythms

  • You’ll stop fighting your body—and start working with it.

  • Move with more confidence, clarity, and choice

This isn’t about escaping discomfort.
It’s about building the capacity to stay with it—and move through it—on your terms.

RESTORATIVE MOVEMENT , FUNCTIONAL REPATTERNING & STRENGTH

Movement That Supports You—for the Long Run

Pain carries memory—of injury, overuse, and even unprocessed emotion. But your body also holds the potential for strength, fluidity, and ease.

This isn’t just exercise.
It’s movement designed to re-educate your body and nervous system—so you can build strength and restore fluid pain-free movement that is functional, sustainable, and intuitive.

Whether you're navigating chronic tension, recovering from injury, rebuilding after burnout, or simply ready to feel more capable in your own skin, this work meets you where you are—and grows with you.

What You Can Expect

Each session is crafted around what your body needs most—stability, flexibility, mobility, strength, or recovery.


Your sessions may include:

  • Dynamic warm-ups to support joint health and alignment

  • Somatic strength training rooted in nervous system regulation

  • Biomechanical & functional movement patterns to restore efficient motion

  • Breath/body coordination to support pacing and power

  • Somatic endurance work to rebuild stamina from the inside out

  • Recovery techniques like fascia release, trigger point work, and PNF stretch

  • Personalized rituals or home practices to reinforce your progress

We’ll work together to build a movement rhythm that fits your life—not just your schedule.
You’ll leave each session with practical tools and a deeper sense of how to care for your body in real time.

A Practice That Sticks Because It’s Built for You

My intention is to help you weave movement into your daily life in a way that feels natural, intuitive, and sustainable—
something your body looks forward to, not something it resists.

Our work is collaborative and experiential.
It’s rooted in care, not control—designed to meet you where you are, and support you as you grow.

You’ll receive:

  • Structure that flexes with your season of life

  • Accountability that feels empowering, not rigid

  • Boundaries that honor your time, energy, and capacity

This is movement that respects your body’s wisdom—
And support that helps you move through life with more clarity, confidence, and choice.

Testimonials

“I cannot recommend Christine enough as a personal trainer! Over the six months I worked with her, she completely transformed my approach to physical fitness. Her patience and dedication to helping me connect with my body were truly remarkable. Christine has a unique ability to meet you where you are, both physically and mentally, and guide you toward progress without ever feeling rushed or pressured.

What sets Christine apart is her holistic, mind-and-body approach. She doesn’t just focus on the physical aspects of fitness; she emphasizes the importance of mental awareness and how it connects to movement. This approach helped me develop a deeper understanding of my body and its capabilities, which has stayed with me long after our sessions ended.

Even though it’s been some time since I trained with her, I still incorporate many of the techniques and habits she taught me into my daily routine. Her lessons have had a lasting impact, and I feel stronger, more confident, and more in tune with my body because of her guidance.

If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares about your well-being and will help you build a sustainable, mindful fitness practice, Christine is the one. Thank you, Christine, for helping me discover a healthier, more balanced version of myself!

“Christine was truly wonderful and multi-talented. She brought awareness and intention to our sessions and never once made me feel judged or overly exerted, which was incredibly valuable to me as someone with trauma from traditional gyms and exercise settings.

She is a force of good in the world and you would be lucky to work with her.”

““Christine has been just amazing all around. We worked on many different facets of movement, body, mobility stuff and with a long time back problem of mine that has really flared up in the last few years. She encouraged me to listen to my body and stop pushing just before I hit the place where the pain kicks in. She supported/encouraged me to see healthcare professionals after having traumatic experiences with doctors in the past and helped me figure out how I can set boundaries with them. My life has been changed for the better after working with her. If you are looking at these reviews deciding if you want to work with Christine, I’d say YES! Give her a try if you are looking for a lovely, supportive, caring, extremely knowledgeable person to work on body stuff with.” ”

“I’d never been to a personal trainer in my life—never imagined I would and then...I had a traumatic bike accident at 62 and felt like I wanted something personal, away from the gym to help me on my road to recovery. Christine Tracy changed my life. She taught me to accept where I was and work with what my body was able to do. In time, my capacities increased, my injury healed and I was back doing the things that matter most to me without physical limitation. Christine is a beast. She uses a variety of modalities in her gym, she’s driven, she’s patient, she’s prepared, she’s available

When you work with Christine you’ll develop a personal relationship—she will give you expert one on one training based on her vast experience. She pays attention, she holds both the micro and the macro and your mind and body will only be better off for time spent with her. Seriously, I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is a golden human being and I am forever grateful for having found her. I will never look for another trainer as long as she’s plying her trade. Christine Tracy and Formation Self Care Studio blew my mind and body—in all ways good!”

    What makes my work unique is the integration of functional movement, nervous system regulation, somatic coaching, and energy-based practices—all tailored to your unique history, needs, and body.

    What we may include:

    • Functional strength & mobility training

    • Somatic movement to support regulation & emotional integration

    • Chronic pain relief & injury recovery

    • Energy work, intuitive body-mapping & shamanic tools (optional)

    You’ll work with me in a private, judgment-free studio—where there’s no pressure to perform, and every session honors the pace of your body and nervous system.

    Whether your goal is to rebuild strength, release long-held patterns, or simply feel more at home in your body, this work meets you on every level: physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual.

  • Yes—chronic pain support and injury recovery are central to my work.

    With over 20 years of experience supporting clients with chronic pain, movement limitations, and injury rehabilitation, I offer a compassionate, body-informed approach that blends somatic movement, functional strength training, and nervous system regulation.

    I also bring a lifetime of personal experience navigating pain, so I understand how deeply it impacts your day-to-day life—not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. Together, we’ll build a movement practice that helps you move with less pain, more clarity, and greater confidence in your body—at a pace that honors where you are.

  • Yes—trauma-informed care is foundational to my work.

    I’m a trauma-informed somatic practitioner with over 22 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of lived experiences, including complex and developmental trauma.

    My background includes working with, coaching & mentoring:

    • Children, adults, and at-risk youth

    • Post-incarcerated women

    • Clients with high ACE scores and chronic nervous system dysregulation

    I specialize in supporting people navigating:

    • C/PTSD and developmental trauma

    • Sexual trauma, emotional abuse, and boundary repair

    • Eating disorder and substance abuse recovery

    • Neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, HSP, sensory processing challenges)

    My sessions are designed to create nervous system safety, build body awareness, and support reconnection with self—in a way that’s empowering, respectful, and deeply healing.

  • Many do—and some choose to continue for deeper integration and long-term support.

    For some clients, six months is enough to create significant shifts in:

    • Body awareness

    • Nervous system regulation

    • Confidence in movement and self-trust

    Others—especially those managing chronic pain, major transitions, or high-stress roles—opt to extend their work with weekly, biweekly, or monthly sessions for continued growth.

    I also offer:

    • Group coaching containers

    • Alumni support options

    • Flexible session plans for ongoing care

    If you're still building your support team or navigating a demanding life, a longer timeline can provide the consistency and spaciousness needed for lasting, embodied change.

  • Most clients experience meaningful, sustainable transformation—often beyond what they originally came in for.

    In our work together, we refine what success looks like for you—based on your values, your body’s signals, and your deeper needs.

    Many clients come in with external goals—pain relief, strength, consistency—and achieve them. But often, they also uncover something deeper:

    • Greater self-trust

    • Clearer boundaries

    • A more sustainable relationship with movement and self-care

    Sometimes, initial goals shift as we discover what your nervous system and body are truly asking for. That’s not failure—it’s clarity. And it often leads to unexpected breakthroughs in confidence, energy, and alignment.

    This is the kind of work that doesn’t just stay in the studio.
    It ripples into how you live, lead, rest, and relate.

  • Yes—absolutely. Zoom sessions can be just as effective, and for some clients, even more supportive.

    Being in your own space can offer a greater sense of safety, regulation, and ease—especially if your nervous system feels more settled at home. Remote sessions allow you to receive the work in an environment that already feels familiar and grounding.

    That said, some clients benefit from stepping out of their home environment to reduce distractions and create clear energetic boundaries.

    We’ll work together to find what feels most supportive for you.

  • Yes! I offer somatic coaching, movement training, and energy work sessions via Zoom.

    I work with clients both locally and across the country—supporting women, therapists, space holders, and leaders through online somatic movement, virtual nervous system support, and remote energy alignment sessions.

    Whether you're navigating chronic pain, burnout, trauma recovery, or simply looking to reconnect with your body from a distance, virtual sessions offer the same depth, personalization, and care as in-person work—delivered in the comfort of your own space.

  • We offer flexible payment options to support your access to somatic coaching and movement-based care.

    Accepted payment methods include:

    • Credit or debit card

    • Apple Pay

    • PayPal

    • Zelle

    • Cash (in-person sessions only)

    • Personal check

    Payment plans are available.
    We offer self-financed auto-pay options (up to 12 months for 6 month program) to help make your investment more manageable—whether you're enrolling in 1:1 coaching or a group program.

    Our goal is to make this work accessible, sustainable, and aligned with your needs.
