Heights of Health Team

Tracy has been studying and working for nearly 3 decades in the natural health field. She originally set out to be an aerospace engineer, but, as life happens, ended up on a different path. After receiving a diagnosis for an “incurable,” life-altering illness, she was told that she would never live a full and healthy life. Despite her doctor’s prognosis, she was totally healed from the condition with the help of natural therapies. Thus, her passion to learn and share all she could about how the body works and its amazing ability to self-heal when given the proper tools was ignited and she never looked back.

After her health turned around in the ‘90s, Tracy opened a natural health store in Fredericksburg, Texas, hosted a popular radio show and served as the Staff Naturopath at Integrative Medical Clinic. During this time, she received her doctorate in Naturopathy from Trinity College of Natural Health and, to this day, continues to consistently further her education by attending seminars and workshops. She also speaks regularly on podcasts and at conferences and other events, educating professionals about how to enhance their practices.

After selling her business in The Texas Hill Country, Tracy returned to her hometown of Houston and opened Heights of Health in 2007 when her practice had become too busy to handle alone. ​Currently, Heights of Health has 7 excellent holistic practitioners on staff and continues to be Houston’s premier Naturopathic clinic, supporting the health and wellbeing of Houstonians and virtual clients in the US and abroad.
​
In 2020, Tracy opened Mind Body Spirit Release™ Academy, a fully accredited school to train and certify practitioners, and those wishing to become practitioners, in her proprietary techniques (MBSR™, ECR™ and HPA™). To date, she and her staff have trained hundreds of practitioners from around the world.
​
Creating a safe and compassionate haven for people seeking health and wellbeing through holistic and innovative means is the driving force behind Tracy’s culture at Heights of Health. Each client has different goals and unique circumstances, so respecting those individual desires and situations, while creating a program that fits each client’s lifestyle, is essential to the clinic’s core values. If you are looking for solutions to your health concerns with a focus on life-long balance and wellness, rather than only addressing symptoms, Heights of Health’s team is ready to help guide you along your path to vibrant health.

Tracy's services include:
Holistic Wellness
Mind Body Spirit Release™ (MBSR)™

Watch Tracy on Fox26 talking about her path and why she opened the clinic

I am a therapist of natural medicine, and most importantly, a vibrational healer using the most innovative, holistic health assessment tools such as the NuVision™ bioresonance system and ECR™(Energetic Cellular Release™). I received much of my formal education from The World Organization of Natural Health Practitioners (W.O.N.M.P), where I obtained my license as a professional health counselor in 2009.

I also received my certifications from C.N.H.P and Hanna Kroeger. My passion for natural health led me to, undoubtedly, the bliss that fills my heart; began when I was in my early 20’s. When my mother fell ill to cancer, she inspired me to take control of my own health. I began my journey of studying and researching alternative solutions to traditional medicine. I decided to be proactive, rather than reactive in managing my health. However, after the loss of both my parents, I felt very lost, and my health began to deteriorate. I feel so much appreciation and love for three influential practitioners who helped me begin my transformation. They are Dennis Stephens, LMT; Gwen Foster, DNM; and Tracy Southwick, DNM. With their support and guidance, I achieved wellness and remembrance of who I really am.

My consultations are tailored to meet individual needs. By addressing Emotional, Physical, Cellular and Energetic levels; healing within the body is accomplished. In addition, I use therapies such as nutrition, supplements, cleansing and self-help techniques; in order to empower you, so that you receive positive and lasting results. I believe all diseases are created by our thoughts, and our emotions are our indicators of how we are “feeling” and “being”. Though we do not knowingly create our illness, our body responds to our negative thoughts and self-condemnation, and it gives us warning signs to let us know how we are thinking. It can start with a simple headache; a pain here, a pain there; all the way to diabetes, heart trouble, and even cancer. I do believe all forms of medicine have their place in healing. But, if we do not clean up our vibration and our old habits of thinking, our bodies will give us other indications of our discord. That is what side effects are. They are the body finding another way to display the resistance that this current medicine is masking.

Our bodies are an amazing, breathing mechanism. Practicing at Heights of Health since 2007, my ultimate joy comes from helping you to remember how wonderful and powerful you really are, so that you may allow your natural state of well being. You are suppose to be well and it is Your birthright to live it! Together we will develop a program that works best for you so that you may receive all the wellness you deserve and have been asking for.

Sonya's services include Holistic Wellness initial assessment and followups.

Fox 26 clip of Heather discussing Holistic Therapy

I am truly blessed that I absolutely love my job and every day I am amazed with the small miracles clients experience. I believe wellness is a balance between the mind, body and spirit; and through the power of awareness, wellbeing can be changed. I am a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, a Reiki Master, a Master MBSR™ and ECR™ practitioner at Heights of Health. I obtained degrees in Communications and Psychology and have almost 25 years experience in the energy and holistic health world. In addition to seeing clients, I am the Director of Operations and a Lead Instructor for the Mind Body Spirit Release (MBSR)™ Academy and have blessedly trained hundreds of people in the Mind Body Spirit Release (MBSR)™ modality. 

I am passionate about providing education to others. I strive to help clients progress in their healing journey and recognize how their emotions affect their physical health. I believe by recognizing and releasing your conditioned beliefs, you can restore vibrant health. I enjoy helping people peel away old belief systems, past limitations, and self-defeating programs while providing clarity and understanding to create solutions for better health. 

Besides working with clients, I love teaching transformative techniques that create change in people’s lives. Now in my 3rd year as a lead instructor in the  Mind Body Spirit Release (MBSR)™ Academy, I have trained hundreds of therapists, doctors, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, health coaches, life coaches, and more. I have witnessed how the people I trained have helped others and this creates more appreciation and satisfaction in my career. Also, with Heather Goodwin, I co-created  Present Time Kids, a mindfulness based program that was implemented in Houston ISD for 7 years. I trained staff and children through this program and watched children transform their lives by incorporating exercises into their daily lives which calmed their nervous system, rewired their brains, and cultivated a healthy mindset. 

I am very fortunate that I get to support people of all ages in different ways through energy healing. I am able to help others release and unburden while gaining clarity into what has been holding them back and a healthier path forward. I truly want to amplify ease in my clients’ and students’ lives, helping them become the best versions of themselves.

Laura’s journey into holistic health began when she was seeking answers for her own health challenges in 2005. She was frustrated that conventional solutions were not alleviating her symptoms of night sweats, anxiety, depression, allergies, and extreme fatigue. Blood work and scans declared her “normal”, but she knew she wasn’t. Near the peak of her frustration, a friend referred Laura to Tracy Southwick at Heights of Health and in a short period she was feeling signs of rejuvenation and recovery.

This healing, as well as her renewed energy and strength, ignited a passion and zest for life again that has led Laura to pursue a variety of holistic health certifications, continuing education and to daily keep abreast of cutting-edge research and protocols to better serve her clients.
