Our Being Informs Our Doing
We believe that inspiration and inner wisdom can more easily flow into our lives when we are present and attuned to what is happening in and around us. When we are fully aware we are able to bring our full selves into all that we do, and our being informs our doing. This is a radical shift in a culture where we are often led to believe that it is our doing – high stress lifestyle, ever-increasing financial goals and competitive busyness – that informs our beliefs about who we are.
A Whole-Person Approach
We value individual learning styles and create the space in our workshops and retreats for participants to get exactly what they came for, whether it is learning new skills at their own pace, gaining insight, finding their voices, working with an injury or illness, or deepening knowledge for their professional livelihood. Our workshops and retreats provide an opportunity for real human connections as well as personal time to restore and reflect inwardly. We recognize the tremendous value of being in a community, and we take the time to build a sense of connection, trust and safety within the group allowing for everyone’s individual intentions to be met.
Our professional trainings, workshops and retreats emphasize a whole-person approach to learning with mindfulness as a central, grounding principle. We know that how well you cultivate presence has a profound impact on your personal and professional interactions with clients, co-workers, employers, family and friends. This is why mindfulness is a thread in everything we offer whether you have come to learn from us about breathwork, meditation, sound healing, reflexology or ethics in the workplace.
Space to Breathe
We know that place makes a difference and can vibrationally assist your retreat experience by reminding you to slow down, breathe with more ease, step into presence and remember that you are part of a collective whole. This is why a large focus of our behind the scenes work is on the considerable care we take to select and bring you to special places in the world. We frequently hold our workshops at retreat centers in Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia and internationally in Bali, Costa Rica, Italy and Turkey.
We are passionate about creating inspiring and heart-opening workshops and retreats for individuals and groups to make a difference in classrooms, workplaces, treatment rooms, homes and communities. Our focus is on mindful awareness of the body and mind, relationship communication, and present-centered leadership. We hope you’ll join us in bringing more presence, heart and kindness into the world!
Meet Our Team
Tracey J. Moon, LMBT
Founder
Tracey has a warm down-to-earth presence and a deep intuition that helps her facilitate groups with clarity, spontaneity and loads of inspiration. She believes in the profound intelligence of the body and breath and empowers others to live and work with more awareness, happiness, resilience and hopefulness. It is her own relationship with being vulnerably human and her capacity to deeply listen – along with years of meditation, movement, deep rest and a fierce courage to evolve – that most deeply informs her wide capacity to be a healing presence with others.
Tracey completed her massage therapy training in 1998 at The Body Therapy Institute and is a North Carolina licensed massage therapist. She is a former faculty member of The Body Therapy Institute and is a graduate of the Spirit of Learning, a program through the Center for Embodied Teacher Education led by Carey Smith. Early in her career, she helped launch the integrative massage program at Duke Integrative Medicine, building it from the ground up during its formative years.
She received her initial training as a breathwork facilitator through Clarity Breathwork and has completed further training in Biodynamic Breath. In 2018, she completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India, with a focus on asana, pranayama, yoga philosophy, meditation and sound. She is a Certified Integrative Reflexologist, has trained extensively with Claire Marie Miller, and is now trains others in this well-rounded reflexology modality. She received her professional training in Mind Body Skills through the Center of Mind Body Medicine in Washington, DC. Much of her work is influenced by Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program.
Tracey is the co-founder and co-lead of the Body-Based Breathwork Facilitator Training, a 9-month immersive program that supports emerging breathwork facilitators in cultivating presence, nervous system intelligence, and the art of creating safe spaces. This in-depth offering is the heart of her current work and reflects her passion for helping others step into service with integrity and skill.
Together with Sharon Nash, MA, she co-facilitates retreats and workshops in the U.S. and internationally on breathwork, sound healing, meditation, anxiety and depression, conscious communication, ethics and integrative reflexology. They are nationally approved providers of continuing education through NCBTMB. Their workshops and retreats are open to all and held in beautiful, healing-centered spaces in Costa Rica, Turkey, Bali, Italy, and the U.S.

Sharon brings a unique blend of heart wisdom and intellectual clarity into her work.

With honesty and warmth, Sharon shares stories from her own spiritual journey, reminding others that they are not alone—and that healing, when done in community, is both powerful and sustaining.
Sharon holds a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Auburn University and an M.A. in Liberal Studies from Duke University. She has been a teacher in many forms since 1990—from secondary math classrooms in southern Africa, North Carolina, and Guatemala, to training educators and leading online learning. She now co-facilitates retreats and workshops across the U.S. and internationally with Tracey Moon, offering experiences rooted in meditation, breathwork, sound healing, bodywork, and reflexology.

Christian Stegall, LMT
Team Lead, Assistants
Having graduated from the Tennessee Institute of Healing Arts in 1999, Christian has been steeped in the art of healing since the tender age of 18. One of the most sought-after bodyworkers in Chattanooga, TN, she recently became a certified Polyvagal-Informed practitioner in 2022, rounding out years of training in Orthobionomy and Somatic work.
She attended her first Breath, Body & Sound retreat in 2017 and fell in love with breathwork and its ability to shift and shape the nervous system. Since 2020, she has been assisting in Cultivating Inner Stillness retreats and brings a natural enthusiasm for life-long learning, a contagious playfulness and a grounded presence that supports retreat participants reconnect with their own inherent nature. She graduated from our Body-Based Breathwork Facilitator Training in 2024.
Christian loves her work and loves to travel. She also loves being in nature and tries to get outside daily. Mostly, however, Christian loves people. She relishes time spent forging deep and meaningful connections, walking alongside her fellow humans on their journey to wellness.
She is the logistics engine of our retreats on the ground—welcoming, efficient, and consistently attuned. Her calm, steady presence and excellent communication keep everything running seamlessly behind the scenes of each retreat.
Christian serves as the Team Lead for our Assistant team at Breath, Body & Sound retreats, both in the US and internationally.
Carolyn Cramer, LMBT
Assistant
Carolyn brings a joy to breathwork in a way that helps people come back to a natural, fuller breath with more ease and relaxation. Her grounded approach is welcome in the retreat space as she reminds us through her heart-centered presence to delight in the moment.
In her own life she finds beauty and healing life through music, gardening and baking. She is an avid world explorer having hiked the Appalachian trail and traveled throughout southeast Asia, a big leap from her southern coastal town upbringing in Wilmington, NC. She has a BA in Music from the University of North Carolina in Asheville.
She attended The Body Therapy Institute for her massage training, graduating in 1998. Her work with Cultivating Inner Stillness began in 2014 when she attended her first Breath, Body & Sound retreat. The transformation that she experienced in that first retreat was powerful, and she’s been part of the team ever since. She graduated from our Body-Based Breathwork Facilitator Training in 2024.
Carolyn lives in Asheville, NC, where you can frequently find her gardening and playing outside with her daughter, husband and odd little bully dog, Potato. Through her work managing a creative and innovative medical practice, she is passionate about bridging traditional and alternative wisdom, and will soon launch her breathwork practice through her primary care home base.
Carolyn assists in our Breath, Body & Sound retreats in the US and internationally.

A Change of Pace
With a shared vision of shaking it up and waking up, Tracey and Sharon stepped out of their busy lives in the US and moved abroad, first to Lake Atitlan, Guatemala in 2011. They let go of 90% of their belongings and left their comfortable salaries and environment in the US with the intention of breaking out of cultural conditioning, diving deeper into purposeful work and a healthy way of living and working. After living for four years on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala and five on Lake Chapala in Ajijic, Mexico they returned to the US in 2020. They love the vibe of the small city of Chattanooga, Tennessee on the Appalachian ridge where they enjoy hiking with their dog Milo and birdwatching with their two adorable cats, Jackson and Lucy.
