Tracy is a wife to a fantastic guy and mother to 5 great kids. I learned early the effect the power of music had in my life. When I was in Jr. High, I also found that I enjoyed psychology too. I was thrilled when I learned about Music Therapy so I could marry my two favorite subjects in an actual degree and job. I graduated in June of 1996 from Utah State University with a Bachelors of Science in Music Therapy and became a State and Board Certified Music Therapist. I enjoy working with health and wellness, hospice and older adults.
