Tracy L. Holdford, Ph.D.

Raised in a small farming community in southern Arkansas, I grew up with a passion for reading and science. Living close to the earth gave me an appreciation for the natural wonders of this planet and just how much an impact people have on the environment. I am fourth-generation Native American Cherokee Shaman, with a passion for healing.

After completing doctorate degree programs in physics, microbiology and environmental chemistry at the University of Arkansas, Technical Branch, I was employed by the Department of Defense as director of several research laboratories which studied and confirmed the effects of energy medicine. With this knowledge base, I became a dedicated practitioner of energy medicine treating NASA astronauts, test pilots and military personnel.

As an Associate Professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, I taught crystallography and physics. While at SMU, I also pursued my quest for more knowledge of ancient sacred documents and earned my Doctor of Divinity and Theology degree through Perkins School of Theology and became ordained.

I have blended my vast scientific and technical knowledge with the Native American teachings of mind, body and Spirit, into a healing ministry. Utilizing my Shaman abilities and through integrated wellness techniques, I seek to empower individuals to truly honor their Spirit, to discover their passion and to pursue the path of one's heart.
