Hello, I'm Tracey
founder of On the Pulse Health...
If you’ve had a shock diagnosis or a life-changing health event — you’re not alone. I’ve been there.
In 2021, my heart changed everything.
What began as feeling unwell quickly became something much more serious. After seeing the doctor, “things still didn't feel right.” I switched doctors, and we discovered my heart wasn’t playing ball.
When I was referred to hospital, I first learned the term “regular irregular” heartbeat. Over the following year, I underwent a series of investigations. But this was during COVID in New Zealand, delays were common – like being taken off the list for one of the procedures. That's where I fell through the cracks of an overloaded health system.
In December 2023, I nearly died.
Early one morning, my husband found me unresponsive, and I was taken to hospital. I had nearly died. Realising this marked the true start of my recovery journey.
After months of waiting – and even taken off the list – the long-awaiting procedure finally happened. Thanks to an incredible medical team, a life-saving ICD was implanted, which now helps keeps my heart rhythm in check.
Survival was only part of it. Returning home with an ICD, I had physical healing to do, but more importantly, emotional trauma to process. And so began the next chapter of my recovery journey – one I’m still walking today.
That near-death experience changed me.
It made me stop and ask: “What do I want my life to be about?”
I chose to train as a Prekure Master Holistic Health Coach and reimagined how I could use my lived experience to help others. I know the fear, the grief, and the uncertainty of having life turned upside down. I know the courage it takes to rebuild.
Today, at On the Pulse Health, I combine personal experience with professional training to support people navigating life after diagnosis, grief, or major health events. Through my coaching programmes – Life After Loss, The Recovery Shift, and The Recovery Snapshot – I walk alongside you as you find strength, clarity and hope for the road ahead.
I don't offer quick fixes, I offer steady support, compassion, and a safe space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward – one step at a time.
With honesty. With hope. With heart.
