Certified Hypnotist & Hypnotherapist

As a skilled hypnotist, Traci leverages over 50 different hypnosis and healing techniques in her sessions. Her comedic and improvisational skills mean she can effortlessly adjust her treatment approach mid-session to cater to her client’s specific needs. This training also proves handy when a client needs to “break a bad trance”. After all, nothing interrupts a negative thought pattern better than a hearty chuckle! She now shares her knowledge with fellow hypnotists, teaching them how to infuse laughter into their sessions through her proprietary technique, The Hilarity and Hypnosis Approach.

Traci is a member of Dr. David Snyder's Mega Platinum Program, and spends an average of 2-5 hours a week studying Hypnosis, NLP and Persuasion, Meditation, Chinese Medicine Face Reading, Vibrational Healing, Reiki, Qi Gong, Kuji, Kabbalah, and other "woo-woo" type modalities.  

An Entrepreneur for Nearly 30 Years

Traci started her first company, Traci Keychain Advertising Specialties, Inc. on December 1st, 1997.   She changed the name of the company in 2016 to Stand Up Eight, Inc.  after the Japanese proverb "Fall seven times, stand up eight."  While most people think it's a nod to her years as a comedian, the proverb was Traci's mantra for the three years she took care of her mom while going through a divorce and creating a new life for herself.  

Stand Up Eight, Inc. is now a property management company that she operates with her husband, Doug.   

Wings Hypnosis, which she started a few weeks after her divorce in 2016, was named to remind herself to "rise above."

An International Touring Musical Comedian

Traci began doing comedy in 2002, after auditioning for a role in a local production of Tony and Tina's Wedding.  She joined an improv troupe that helped hone her comedy skills, and soon she discovered a new love for performing.   In 2009, Traci's comedic career took a turn when she was hired to perform at a clothing-optional resort in Land O Lakes, FL.  She created a musical comedy show especially for swingers, nudists, and BDSM-ers.  When she wasn't performing, she would chat with the attendees, and these chats led to her becoming the leading expert in the field of Erotic Hypnotherapy for Swingers.  People in "The Lifestyle" want to work someone who understands their lifestyle choices..and that is Traci!
