About Tracey

Tracey is a Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant, instructor at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, and recipient of the 2018 Clinical Excellence Award. Her clinical practice has a strong focus on the health of the gut microbiome and the intestinal barrier. She has a strong interest in supporting brain plasticity, as well as Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

Tracey’s first introduction to the power of food as medicine came from watching her uncle reverse the growth of a tumor in his brain using a dietary and lifestyle approach. Tracey was just a child, but the seed had been planted, and that seed would eventually grow into a passion to educate people about how to use food to manage their health symptoms.

As any mother around the world can attest to, you will do anything for your children. After studying nutrition, it was the health of her own children that propelled her to dive further into studying nutritional research. Her in-depth understanding of the gut-brain connection, how to support brain plasticity nutritionally, and the gut connection to autoimmunity all come from her intense desire to help her own children.

With the improvement in her family’s health, Tracey finally had to acknowledge that she also had health issues that had not been fully addressed, and that had never responded well to either medical or naturopathic approaches. Lingering symptoms of chronic eczema, sinus inflammation and chemical sensitivities led her to explore the role of histamine and mast cell activation in her symptoms. After receiving a diagnosis of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Tracey did another deep dive into the research literature to be able to not only help herself, but to support her clients struggling with unexplained symptoms. She is the co-founder and co-author of Histamine Haven.
