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. Her knowledge of the body of was impressive and I learned tools I’ll keep with me for life while working with her. And her reiki services are POWERFUL! 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.” ”
“It is so refreshing to find a safe, inviting space where movement is fun again! Christine has been a great source of support and encouragement in my life, and has reignited my love of exercise as play. Highly recommend!”
“For real, been trying to figure out life for the last couple of years. Being post-grad, I lost so many good things in my life by way of habits or self-care (nearly nonexistent). Last February, I walked by Christine’s studio and I have been hooked ever since. I can honestly say she has fully helped me add so much value to my day-to-day life. I have learned so much about myself and how to self-heal and care. Thank you, Christine, for being a beaming example of what it means to put in the work.”
“I have a great time working with Christine! She is a very positive, knowledgeable, and caring person. I learned exercise techniques for increasing my strength and flexibility in a non-judgmental and low-stress environment. Christine taught me how to be kinder and more patient with myself and I have become more organized and accountable to the process. I recommend her and her clean, bright studio! ”
“Christine is not only a fantastic fitness coach, but she is also a powerful role model. During our sessions, I learn how to strengthen my body as well as gaining new perspectives and having wonderful conversations about how to tackle my life in general. Christine helped me transform more than just my body but also my whole perspective. I recommend her to anyone who is seeking to better themself in all areas of their life. Thank you Christine for everything you’ve helped me to achieve since I first met you! You are the best trainer I’ve ever worked with and I look forward to working with you more in the future.”

“Christine is a wonderful practitioner and her methods have changed my life. I am so deeply appreciative of our work together.”
“At Formation I learned to exercise appropriately as opposed to aggressively with periodic backslides due to injury. This has lead to long term, manageable routines, that I have been able to do on my own for years now”
“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!”

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.
-
