Meet Tracy Hovde – Yoga & Massage Practitioner
I’m passionate about supporting individuals on their path to wellness through massage therapy, yoga, and holistic practices. My own healing journey began after injury while working as a professional dancer and dance instructor. Experiencing the profound benefits of massage during my recovery inspired me to shift from performance to the healing arts.

I’ve been practicing massage therapy since 2002 after graduating from CenterPoint School of Massage and Bodywork, with training in Swedish massage, deep tissue techniques, and trigger point therapy. I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) in Wisconsin and Board Certified (BCTMB) through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.

Alongside massage, I’m also a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 200, RYT 500, YACEP). I completed my 200-hour training with Devanadi Yoga and advanced 500-hour training with Green Lotus Yoga Center. Whether through yoga or bodywork, my approach is rooted in the same intention: supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance.

I believe true healing comes from within. While I can’t heal you, I can offer a safe, welcoming space and skillful techniques to help you reconnect with your body, reduce stress, and support your own natural healing process.
I’m honored to walk alongside you on your wellness journey. 💜

✨ Today’s Oracle Card ✨
From The Elemental Oracle by Stacey DeMarco
#25 Voice — Speaking Your Word 🌬️🗣️
This card is a clear invitation to stop holding back. Your voice matters, and your truth deserves space to be spoken. Expression does not require force—only clarity, honesty, and heart.

You are being encouraged to speak with intention: truth tempered with compassion, words guided by integrity. When you honor your voice, you honor yourself. Trust what wants to be said and allow it to move through you. Speak up—clearly and courageously. ✨

Element: Air
Word of Power: Vox — Latin for “voice”
Let your words carry truth, presence, and purpose today.

✨ Things You Won’t Hear Me Say in Yoga Class ✨

🧘‍♀️ “The full expression of the pose”
“Advanced version”
“Level 3 pose”
Yoga is not a hierarchy, and a pose is not more beneficial because it looks deeper or more complex. Different variations simply serve different bodies, needs, and experiences on a given day.

🪷 “If you can’t do this, then…”
This implies that one pose or variation is better than another. Variations, props, and alternate poses are simply ways to receive the benefits of yoga in a way that is safe, supportive, and effective for YOU.

💧 “Let’s Detox!”
Yoga does not “flush toxins” from the body in the way wellness culture often claims. We can’t undo a weekend of fast food, stress, or drinking by “sweating or twisting it out.” Our bodies already have incredible detoxification systems built in — yoga can support overall wellbeing without making misleading health claims.

🔥 “Let’s burn some calories”
Yoga certainly has physical benefits, but reducing it to calorie-burning turns it into just another workout. Yoga is about breath, awareness, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and connection.

⚠️ “Feel the burn”
“Push through”
“Just 3 more breaths”
Yoga is not about punishing or overriding the body. Instead, it can help us develop trust in our body’s signals — not learn to ignore them.

🤍 At Highland Healing Arts, yoga is about curiosity, self-awareness, and meeting yourself where you are today.
✨ Your body is welcome here exactly as it is. ✨

“Allow” by Danna Faulds
(excerpt)
There is no controlling life.
Try corralling a lightning bolt,
containing a tornado.
Dam a stream and it will create a new channel.
Resist, and the tide
will sweep you off your feet.
Allow, and grace will carry you
to higher ground.

Do you love wellness podcasts as much as I do? I've been binge-listening to Max Lugavere 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝐿𝑖𝑓𝑒 podcast lately. Episode 93 with Dr. William Davis was SO AMAZING and informative, I've listened to it three times (so far) and plan to listen again and again until I absorb ALL the amazing info. Maybe I'll try to listen next time when I'm not in my car so I can take notes.

What is your favorite podcast???
