Meet Tracey McBeath 

Mum of 5, Author, Health & Life Coach, Founder of  The Thriving Place!

Tracey, a seasoned Health & Life Coach based in Melbourne, Australia, is also a published author and sought-after public speaker. With five children ranging from 11 to 24, Tracey’s personal journey began at age 40 when a diagnosis of fatty liver, prediabetes, and Hashimoto’s prompted a significant lifestyle overhaul. This pivotal moment, though challenging at first, became a catalyst for profound personal transformation. She has since overcome dependencies on sugar, processed foods, and alcohol, alongside co-dependency, achieving inner peace and a vibrant life now at 52. Her impactful TEDx talk in June 2023, “Becoming the Navigator of Your Own Life,” and the upcoming publication of her book, “The Gifts Within” (Green Olive Press, May 1, 2026), underscore her dedication to empowering others.

Tracey’s professional path began with a Bachelor of Arts in Teaching, followed by a career in Human Resources before dedicating herself to raising her family. A pivotal career shift in her early thirties led her to become a qualified Personal Trainer, and by age 43, she found her true calling in Health & Life Coaching. This is where her passion ignites – helping individuals recognize their inherent capacity to design and live the lives they truly desire.

As an insight-based coach, Tracey guides clients to uncover hidden perspectives, understand the mechanics of the human experience, and identify the roots of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. She empowers them to shift their choices by looking within. Her approach is deeply rooted in her own profound experiences and observations, and she expresses immense gratitude for the courageous clients who have embraced her guidance. Tracey lives by a unified inner compass, guided by her heart-centered values, whether in her professional or personal life.

Reflecting on her past, Tracey shares, “For most of my life, until about 9 years ago, I was an emotional eater and drinker. I always ate or drank when I was stressed or sad, and this didn’t change for me when I discovered low carb. It felt like I was broken, that there was something wrong with me, and that I was the only person on the planet who couldn’t get it. I knew the science, I had the knowledge. Why couldn’t I not just eat or drink when I knew it was not good for my health? I didn’t feel in control… something else was doing the driving for me when it came to making some of my decisions.” 

She emphasizes that for herself and hundreds of clients, the key was learning about insight-based change – a process of transformation that originates from within. This occurs when we create space from habitual thoughts and beliefs, allowing new thinking to emerge, which in turn leads to new behaviors and a reconnection with our true selves.
