In a world where healthcare and technology often dominate discussions about innovation, Tracey Boss stands out as a visionary who reminds us that true healing is never just about systems or data. It’s about the integration of the mind, body, and spirit. With more than three decades of experience in healthcare IT, she has dedicated her career to transforming patient care through technology. Yet, her personal journey and professional insight have led her to champion a more holistic vision: one where wellness, spirituality, and community connection work hand in hand to foster lasting transformation.
Her academic achievements are remarkable: a master’s in software engineering management, ongoing dual master’s degrees in Mental Health Counseling and Dance Movement Therapy, and pursuit of a doctorate in Christian Counseling and Life Coaching. Her professional credentials, including being an Epic Certified Health IT Leader, underscore her technical expertise. But it is her heart, forged by personal experience and loss, that drives her work in holistic wellness.
The Personal Journey Behind the Mission
Her story is one of resilience. Becoming a teen mother and navigating divorce and single parenthood early in life taught her the importance of support, community, and empathy. Later, guiding her daughter through a battle with brain cancer and honoring her late son’s neurodiverse legacy following his tragic death due to gun violence intensified her understanding of human fragility and strength. “These experiences shaped my belief that healing must be holistic,” she explains. “It’s not just about surviving it’s about thriving, reconnecting, and finding purpose.”
These deeply personal experiences inspired her to expand her focus from optimizing healthcare systems to creating spaces where individuals and families can heal on every level mental, physical, and spiritual.
Healing Fire Studios: A Holistic Ecosystem
At the heart of Tracey’s initiatives is Healing Fire Studios, an umbrella organization encompassing multiple programs that work in harmony to promote integrative health:
- The Healing Fire Foundation provides advocacy, mentorship, and community programs, honoring her children’s legacies while empowering families and youth.
- Prophetic Dance & Fitness combines movement, Zumba fusion, and spiritual expression, offering women sacred spaces to release stress, rebuild confidence, and reignite their inner fire.
- Tribal Sage Collective fosters community, mentorship, and connection, creating safe spaces for individuals seeking identity, purpose, and belonging.
- Integrated Health Systems Technologies (IHST) delivers STEAM education and technology empowerment, equipping youth with digital literacy, design thinking, and innovation skills rooted in wellness and compassion.
Together, these initiatives form a comprehensive ecosystem bridging technology, movement, faith, education, and community, reflecting her philosophy that wellness is multidimensional.
Technology Meets Spirituality
As both an expert in health IT and a spiritual life coach, she seamlessly integrates technology with holistic healing. “Technology enables efficiency and accessibility,” she notes, “while spirituality brings empathy, meaning, and connection. When used together thoughtfully, we can enhance patient outcomes, create scalable wellness programs, and ensure that technology amplifies rather than replaces human care.”
Through innovative systems, she supports programs that track wellness engagement, deliver virtual counseling, and provide digital education for youth all grounded in a human-centered approach.
Empowering Women, Youth, and Families
Her work in empowerment focuses on creating intentional, safe spaces. Prophetic Dance & Fitness empowers women to release limiting beliefs, reclaim joy, and rediscover purpose, while mentorship and leadership programs through IHST and Tribal Sage Collective nurture youth confidence and skill-building. By partnering with families, faith leaders, and community organizations, she ensures that these programs achieve lasting, sustainable impact.
Dance as a Form of Healing
Movement is central to her approach, serving as both therapy and ministry. “Dance is a universal language,” she explains. “It helps individuals reconnect with their bodies, express emotions, and restore spiritual alignment. Through evidence-based Dance Movement Therapy, we address stored trauma, regulate the nervous system, and facilitate emotional and spiritual healing.” Participants in Prophetic Dance often experience profound transformations finding liberation, joy, and renewed confidence.
Inclusivity and Accessibility
Inclusivity is a cornerstone of her initiatives. Healing Fire Studios offers low-cost or free workshops, mentorship, and community events to remove socio-economic and cultural barriers to wellness. Programs are culturally responsive and faith-inclusive, ensuring that every participant feels seen, supported, and valued.
Stories that Inspire
The impact of her programs is tangible. She recalls a young woman survivor of domestic violence who arrived withdrawn and unsure of herself. Through Prophetic Dance, mentorship, and spiritual guidance, the woman regained her confidence and later became a mentor for other survivors. Neurodiverse youth participating in IHST’s STEAM programs discovered leadership skills and self-expression they had never realized before. “These stories remind me that small acts of belief and support can ripple into generational impact,” she reflects.
Spiritual Health in Healthcare
She emphasizes that spiritual well-being is critical for overall health. “It’s not about religion; it’s about purpose, meaning, and connection. Integrating spiritual care into healthcare improves resilience, reduces stress, and enhances patient and family outcomes,” she says. Her vision is for holistic wellness to become a standard across healthcare systems, ensuring that mind, body, and spirit are treated as interconnected dimensions of health.
Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, Tracey envisions Healing Fire Studios as a hub where mentorship, movement, STEAM education, counseling, and spiritual wellness converge. She hopes to see communities empowered with the tools to nurture mind-body-spirit balance, and for integrative wellness to become a mainstream aspect of healthcare.
Mind-Body-Spirit Balance
She teaches that balance is not a fixed destination, but a continuous rhythm. “Ask yourself: ‘What is your mind thinking? What is your body feeling? What does your spirit need?’ Balance is about creating a sustainable flow that supports long-term wellness,” she advises.
Academic Pursuits Fuel the Mission
Her academic path underpins every initiative. Studies in engineering and counseling equip her with evidence-based frameworks for innovation, intervention, and scalable programs. Pursuit of a doctorate in Christian Counseling and Life Coaching further allows her to integrate spiritual principles with coaching methodologies, strengthening the foundation for holistic wellness initiatives.
Resilience Through Spiritual Health
In high-stress professions and life circumstances, spiritual grounding is essential for resilience and preventing burnout. She emphasizes that spiritual wellness replenishes energy, fosters empathy, and anchors individuals through complexity and trauma whether they are healthcare providers, leaders, or families.
Words for Future Leaders
“Lead from authenticity. Heal while you lead. Build communities that celebrate growth. Integrate science, faith, and empathy. Leadership is not about titles, it’s about transformation. When you lead from purpose, you ignite healing across generations,” she advises.
Leading the Way in Holistic Wellness
Tracey exemplifies visionary leadership. Through Healing Fire Studios and its complementary initiatives, she demonstrates how technology, movement, mentorship, and spiritual care can converge to create lasting impact. Her journey reminds us that the most profound innovations in wellness are rooted in love, empathy, and human connection, inspiring a future where holistic health is accessible, inclusive, and transformative for all.
