Meet Tracey McBeath 

Mum of 5, Author, Health & Life Coach, Founder of  The Thriving Place!

Tracey is an experienced health and life coach from Melbourne Australia. She is also an author, public speaker, and mum of 5 kids aged from 11 to 24 years. At 40 she was pushed by fear to change her lifestyle after a fatty liver, prediabetes, and Hashimoto’s diagnosis. This fear became the best gift she was ever given (although it didn’t look like a gift at the time!). Tracey has recovered from sugar and processed food dependency, alcohol dependency, and co-dependency to heal her inner world and now lives from a place of peace within. At 52, she is now full of energy and loves her thriving life. In June 2023 she spoke at TEDx Katoomba on Becoming the Navigator of Your Own Life. In March her book, The Gifts Within, will be published!

After earning a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Teaching when she finished school, she ended up working in Human Resources until she had her first of 5 kids. Around the age of 30, she was ready for a career change and became a qualified Personal Trainer. At age 43, she moved into Health & Life Coaching. This is where her passion and purpose live. Helping people see they have the capacity within, to live the life they want to live.

Tracey is an insight-based coach. This means she shows her clients how to see what they can’t yet see. To understand where the human experience comes from, how we work, what runs our feelings, thoughts, and behaviours, and where to look to change our choices. She never shares anything she hasn’t profoundly experienced or seen in her own life. She is so grateful to all the incredible clients she has worked with who have been brave enough to look in the direction Tracey points them in. There is no difference in what guides Tracey, whether that is when she is at work, or when she is at play. Her inner compass comes from her deep connection with her heart-centered values.

“For most of my life, until about 7 years ago, I was an emotional eater and drinker. I always ate or drank when I was stressed or sad, and this didn’t change for me when I discovered low carb. It felt like I was broken, that there was something wrong with me, and that I was the only person on the planet who couldn’t get it. I knew the science, I had the knowledge. Why couldn’t I not just eat or drink when I knew it was not good for my health?

I didn’t feel in control… something else was doing the driving for me when it came to making some of my decisions. For me, and now hundreds of the clients I’ve worked with, it came in the form of learning about insight-based change. This is very different from how I thought change worked. Change that is created from within – from insight – happens when we know where to look for it. When we create space from our habitual thoughts and beliefs for new thinking. It is this new thinking that will take us new behaviours. Back home to who you truly are.”
