Tracy Torwick Email & Phone Number

For as long as I can remember I have been interested in the human body, mind and integrative modalities that foster whole human holistic healing and wellness. While earning my BA in Theatre Arts from Cal Poly Pomona I realized the therapeutic potential and benefits of the expressive and collaborative art form of theatre and pursued as much movement based courses as I could. While working on my undergrad I also nurtured my other lifelong love of working with horses and I created a program dedicated to working with children with autism and horses. I was also active at the Kellogg Arabian Horse Center which later led to my position as the student instructor and horsemanship lecturer. In this role I managed the student horses, the student lesson program, the traditional Sunday Horse Shows and lectured a horsemanship course. After completion of my BA I received a California State Teaching Credential. Upon completion of my teaching credential I worked as a long term substitute teacher teaching High School Theatre for a year. I also worked in independent films for a few years where I received excellent experience in production and production coordinating where I was able to hone many skills in project management, communication, team building and organization. I then met my husband, who was active duty in the US Air Force and his duty change moved us to Washington State. My experience being married to a wounded warrior and seeing the prevalence of mental and physical pain in the military inspired me to pursue my 200 hour yoga teacher training. After completing this training I made it my mission to share the benefits of yoga with the military community of Joint Base Lewis-McChord. I also sought to advance my skill set and knowledge and attended the Maryland University Of Integrative Health where I received my MS in Yoga Therapy. While working on this degree, I worked closely with the exercise physiologist at the 5th Air Support Operations Squadron to create a yoga program consisting of chronic pain education, injury prevention, self care and improved mental and physical resiliency. I also taught trauma conscious yoga to many active duty soldiers and veterans. I had the honor of receiving a certificate of appreciation from America's First Corps Commanding General and Command Sergeant Major for commitment to military resiliency and wellness. I have also briefed leadership about the benefits of yoga and mindfulness practice in regards to military resiliency and I volunteered at a center for TBI and the Pain Management Clinic at Madigan Army Hospital.

Listed skills include Leadership, Wellness, Mind Body, Public Speaking, and 18 others.
