It is a pleasure for me to introduce you to Tracy Quinlan, a gifted Acutonics Practitioner, cosmic consultant, consulting astrologer, writer, and teacher. Tracy, whom is based in Edmonton, Canada, completed the majority of her Acutonics training with Theresa Lee Morris and Will Morris and studied Harmonic Pathology with Mary Burke-Kelly. Tracy has been recommended by Theresa for Acutonics Level I & II Teacher Training, and she will be joining a new group of teachers training with Donna and I in April. As she is quite comfortable with technology, Tracy regularly connects with clients, students, and teacher around the world. I hope you enjoy learning more about Tracy, I know I have loved getting to know her. — Ellen F. Franklin
Tracy describes herself as a true northern girl. Born in the very northern part of Ontario Canada she spent most of her life in Northern Alberta. These northern roots permeate into Tracy’s life narrative. As a child she loved dance, music, and fashion. Tracy writes:
As a kid I was into dance and music. I loved to sing and dance including tap, jazz, and ballet with a bit of highland dancing, too. I danced competitively for nine years and was a dance teacher until I was twenty years old, when a knee injury damaged my knee.
As a child she was surrounded by fashion, beauty and music and could be found playing in her aunt’s beauty salon. Her mom’s love of fashion and her aunt’s focus on beauty had tremendous influence on her young life, which guided her from a career in dance when she was young, to studying hair and esthetics. Tracy describes her early life:
My mom loved fashion. I played in my aunt’s beauty salon and learned to do hair very early. I was in about fourth grade when I roller set and pin curled my grandmother’s hair. My mom’s family had a very big influence, from beauty to music, and dance. I was surrounded with it, and it led me to the things I love today. Some of the family played fiddle, piano and spoons. They loved to tap dance and clog. My French-Canadian roots run deep.
After her knee injury at age twenty, Tracy made the decision to study hair styling and esthetics. She had a successful career for over 30 years. Tracy writes:
In my early thirties, while I worked in a salon, I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology, with a minor in psychology. It was through that process I discovered I loved to write, and that I was pretty good at it. Even though I didn’t use my B.A. degree directly, I gained so many tools and discovered gifts and passions I didn’t know I had, writing being the most obvious. It was also during this time I met my husband of nineteen years.
I’ve lived and worked in both Edmonton and Vancouver. Through all of it though, I loved astrology which I discovered at the tender age of sixteen.
By her late thirties, Tracy’s health began to challenge her. She ended up in a major Rheumatoid arthritis flare which affected her knees. She knew she needed to look at a new career path.
When I quizzed myself about what I was passionate about, it was blindingly clear that Astrology would be the next chapter. I began seriously studying in my early forties and ever since, life has not been the same again.
I launched the Consult The Sky website seven years ago. Since then, I’ve lectured at major conferences, and smaller ones. I’ve had a few articles published and wrote a column for a year. I have written the horoscopes for the Llewellyn Astrology Calendar since 2019 and have already written the 2025 calendar.
Tracy has studied several styles and techniques of astrology, and she loves to approach the birth chart from a psychological perspective.
It was during a difficult Neptune opposing my natal Sun transit that I discovered sound healing with tuning forks. In an effort to use the Neptune energy for a positive outcome, I came upon the work of Hans Cousto and promptly found myself some planetary tuning forks.
When Tracy first received her planetary tuning forks, she searched the internet for potential training opportunities but initially on review of the Acutonics website she thought health-care training was a requirement to take Acutonics courses. Thinking she would need to be a bodyworker to do the training, she didn’t pursue it. But two years later when she mentioned tuning forks to a colleague they asked if she did Acutonics.
Tracy reflects: Fortunately, they clarified that I’d misinterpreted the information on the website, and I immediately went looking for training, and discovered The Kootenay Sound Healing center and signed up immediately for the Level I & II.
The combination of Astrology and sound was my initial attraction to Acutonics, but It’s the multitude of applications and the spiritual, energetic, and mystical threads that are weaved through the practice that keeps me awestruck.
Although Tracy wasn’t immediately led to Acutonics, the Universe obviously had a plan. It was more than a year later that the modality came up in a conversation, and she looked for training. She discovered that Theresa Lee Morris and Will were going to teach Acutonics Level I & II in British Columbia, and that was the beginning. Tracy writes:
As Will is an Astrologer and Theresa was a practitioner who had not done body work before Acutonics I felt I was with the perfect pair! I was on a mission to find a modality I could use to help my astrology clients, and Acutonics was IT! The unfortunate part of the pandemic in this story is that practicing on people wasn’t possible. The benefit was that classes moved online, and I was able to complete all my training without having to travel if I didn’t want to.
Acutonics is a powerful tool to help people become the best versions of themselves. One of my favorite treatment pieces is to take difficult planetary energy or interactions and harmonize the energy with the forks. I also love balancing the chakras using the forks — it creates some amazing shifts in people’s energy fields.
My Acutonics training provided me with tools to offer to my clients as a different way to access their natal chart — a way to embody the planetary energetics in a new way.
“We first met Tracy in August 2019”, Theresa commented, “when she made the trip to our centre in BC for Acutonics Level I training. We immediately made a new friend and colleague. Tracy's passion for astrology and Acutonics is immediately felt. She is a dedicated student and practitioner with a wealth of information. I look forward to her new role as an Acutonics Teacher!
Will added: “Tracy is a clear, attentive, and detailed practitioner and teacher. It is a privilege to participate in the journey with her.”
Tracy is practicing Astrology and Acutonics in Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
She states: “People are intrigued, but nervous about trying Acutonics, but the clients that have had treatments loved the outcomes. I use hand chimes, bowls, oils and one day I hope to have ALL OF THE GONGs, LOL.
It’s always interesting when I start layering sound, using a variety of instruments and tools; almost always the person on the table takes a deeper breath and becomes more settled; they move more deeply into their bodies. Memories and thoughts float to the surface for observation.
For fun, Tracy loves games and anything that challenges her brain and makes her laugh. She has a slight addiction to British/Australian/New Zealand crime dramas, coffee, and she loves to travel. She plans to do more traveling when her knee is improved. 
Always busy and engaged with life, Tracy is focused on finishing up her Acutonics certification, developing a new astrology elective for her Acutonics thesis, and getting ready for Acutonics Level I & II teacher training, which is being held in April 2024. She is in the process of creating a Membership Jupiter Club, where people can learn how to take the Astrology they know and start reading charts.
In this way I’m teaching astrology and connecting with people in an intimate teaching setting. I have a couple of Astrology books up my sleeve. Overall, I’m working hard to build my business – adding Acutonics to the core of what I do. I’ve just started a podcast called Sky Notes Podcast (alongside another incredible woman). It is about Astrology, mainly, but we are both passionate about the healing power of Astrology and other modalities, so it will evolve over time.
