Meet the Staff

Tracy Southwick ND, HHP, CNHP

For over three decades, Tracy has dedicated her life to understanding the intricate connection between the mind, body, and spirit—and how that relationship unlocks the body’s innate power to heal. After a life-changing personal healing journey that defied an “incurable” diagnosis, Tracy shifted her career path to natural health, igniting a lifelong passion to uncover the science and soul of wellness.

Over the years, she founded successful holistic practices, including Heights of Health in Houston, Texas— one of the city’s premier naturopathic clinics for over 18 years. Yet her deeper calling emerged from decades of client work and research into how emotional energy impacts physical health. This led Tracy to develop Mind Body Spirit Release®, a gentle yet powerful modality designed to identify and clear subconscious emotional blocks that limit healing, performance, and well-being.
In 2020, she founded the Mind Body Spirit Release® Academy, an accredited training institution devoted to teaching and certifying practitioners in her proprietary techniques. Through the Academy, Tracy and her team have trained hundreds of practitioners around the world to bring this transformative work to their own clients and communities.

Today, Tracy continues to expand the reach of Mind Body Spirit Release®, speaking on international stages and hosting advanced practitioner trainings. Guided by compassion and curiosity, her mission is to empower others to reconnect with their body’s wisdom, release stored emotional imprints, and restore balance to every level of their being.

Cheryl Hensley Master MBSR-P, HHP, Reiki Master

As the Director of Operations and Lead Instructor for the Mind Body Spirit Release® Academy, I have the joy of teaching, certifying, and recertifying students in this powerful healing modality. I am a Master Practitioner and have been practicing Mind Body Spirit Release® for over 10 years and now in my 5th year of teaching it. I have worked at the Heights of Health Clinic for 14 years. I am currently accepting new clients for Mind Body Spirit Release® sessions and feel truly blessed to do work that I deeply love. Every day, I’m amazed by the small yet profound miracles that unfold as clients release what no longer serves them. Although I work with clients with a variety of concerns, I have developed expertise working with both group dynamics and restorative sleep.

With over 25 years of experience in the energy and holistic health field, I hold degrees in Communications and Psychology, am a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, a Reiki Master, a Master Mind Body Spirit Release®, an ECR™ practitioner, and certified in SRT. My passion lies in helping others understand how unprocessed emotions can influence both life patterns and physical wellness and through awareness and release, true wellbeing can emerge.

I take great joy in teaching transformative techniques that empower healing and self-discovery. With Mind Body Spirit Release® Academy, I’ve had the privilege of training many hundreds of practitioners from health-focused people wanting to change their lives to therapists, doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, nutritionists, chiropractors, health coaches, life coaches, and more - practitioners who are now using this modality to transform lives around the world.

In collaboration with Heather Goodwin, I also co-created Present Time Kids, a mindfulness-based program which was implemented in Houston ISD for seven years. Through this program, I trained both children and educators to calm the nervous system, rewire the brain, and cultivate emotional awareness for a healthier mindset.

I feel incredibly fortunate to support people of all ages, from infants to elderly, through energy healing helping them release emotional burdens, gain clarity, and step into a more vibrant, balanced life. My greatest joy is witnessing clients and students alike uncover their potential and embody more ease, alignment, and authenticity every day.
