Teri Racey, P.A., M.A.


Teri is a avid promoter of preventive and integrative medicines. This passion was reinforced through her work as a Physician Assistant as she witnessed the enormous damage that excessive stress can create in our mind, body and spirit. This reality led her to explore ways to help patients (and herself) better manage stress. As a result, she discovered the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program and took the 8 week course. She found it to be exceptionally helpful and  became a MBSR teacher, later establishing this coursework for her patients and students. Teri also became a Reiki master and opened the Illumined Heart in 2003. She has authored 4 books (click on Books and Meditations) and a number of guided meditations, the latest of which is offered free on this website (click link below).
