My Story

I'm Tracy Conway

RN, MSN and Certified Sound Practitioner.

I spent years as a nurse caring for others during their most vulnerable moments — including hospice nursing and a career in alcohol and drug treatment centers where I witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of addiction on individuals and families. In January 2022 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma stage 2b. I sat in the chemo chair — mostly alone — for seven months while continuing to care for others as a hospice nurse.

I have lost both my parents. My dad died instantly in a car accident in 1982 when I was 16 years old. In 1994 I lost my 3 year old niece to a drunk driver. My brother completed suicide in 2018. My mom passed from esophageal cancer in 2019. In 2020 I lost a second niece to a drug overdose. My sister died via MAID in 2023 after a long battle with Parkinson's and MSA. And my last living brother died in 2025 from a tragic work accident. I have witnessed many family members and friends struggle with mental health and addiction. And I continue to love my son deeply through his struggle with addiction.

I have been a caregiver, a nurse and a patient. I am a mom and a wife. I have sat with people in their final moments and faced my own mortality. I understand deeply the importance of approaching others without judgment and breaking down the walls of stigma related to mental health, addiction and dying, and the importance of meeting others exactly where they are.

Having walked through more sorrow than words can describe I know firsthand what it means to need a safe place to heal. And with an educational background in healthcare I understand the body and nervous system's role in that healing. So I created Serene Sound — built from the kind of grief most people never experience, and the healing that carried me through.

I bring my full heart, my empathy, my clinical experience and my lived experience to every session and to this community. 🌸
