About

The Merry Medium

Hello, I'm Tracy, and I'm the heart behind The Merry Medium. My mission is to offer practical, accessible paths to peace and vitality through my writing and intuitive services.

 

My Journey

 

By day, I work as a Registered Practical Nurse, a career built on the foundational value of helping others—my dedication to the intuitive arts balances this practical care. I have been a devoted Tarot reader for over 40 years, blending spiritual guidance with grounded experience.

My passion for well-being extends deeply into energy work. For about ten years, I've been a Reiki Master, which is a core part of my individual practice in self-care and balanced energy. This dual path—nursing and energy healing—has taught me the vital importance of maintaining our inner vitality.

I am a certified student of life, constantly learning and embracing an eclectic approach to wellness. My work—including my books, The Merry Medium: Modern Meditations and The Merry Medium: Vibrant Vitality—is rooted in the belief that a higher consciousness flows through everything. I am especially drawn to the Law of Attraction and the power of conscious creation, observing how intention shapes reality.

 

My Approach

 

I believe in a "live and let live" philosophy. My space is non-denominational and non-judgmental, welcoming diverse beliefs and ways of life. Whether through a meditation practice, focusing on energetic self-care, or a Tarot reading, I aim to help you connect to your own inner wisdom and find your unique path to a more joyful life.

I live in a small, beautiful town in Northern Ontario, Canada, with my husband, where nature provides the perfect backdrop for balancing the spiritual with the everyday.

 

My Philosophy: Holistic Health is the Key to Clear Energy

 

My guidance is rooted in the belief that your intuitive clarity is dependent on the health of your whole self: Body, Mind, and Spirit.

While we focus on the subtle energy of intuition, don't neglect your physical vessel! For movement that clears stress, boosts mood, and provides a powerful energy shift, my top recommendation is Supernatural VR. I am a massive fan of their VR workouts—the music is unparalleled, and the ability to customize length and intensity makes it easy to integrate into any busy schedule. It’s the perfect blend of fitness and fun.

Happy New Year! 2026 promises to be a year of great MOMENTUM!

A Vibrational Forecast For 2026

As we step into 2026, the Universe isn't asking us to "work harder." It’s asking us to allow more. I pulled three cards to see the energy trail for the year ahead, using Law of Attraction-inspired interpretations. 

1. The Foundation:

Ace of Cups

The Message: 2026 begins with an open faucet of Source energy.

The Practice: Your only "job" as the year starts is to fill your own cup. Don't look for others to validate your path. Find the "sweet spot" of your alignment first. When you are well cared for and full of positive energy, the momentum for your dreams becomes effortless. With an overflowing cup, you have all that you need to start the New Year. 

2. The Work:

Five of Swords

The Message: This is the year of the "Vibrational Prune."

The Practice: You don't have to fight your obstacles; you only have to stop looking at them. Use your clarity to cut away the unnecessary noise and the "old stories" that no longer fit who you are becoming. Turning toward your desire is much more powerful than pushing against your fears.

3. The Destination:

Nine of Wands

The Message: Deeper Self-Awareness and Open Passages.

The Practice: By consistently reaching for the better-feeling thought, you’ll find that your "psychic passages" are wide open. You aren't just manifesting "things" this year; you are manifesting a deeper state of consciousness and a higher threshold for feeling good. You’ll realize that "safety" doesn't come from a wall—it comes from the high-frequency stability of knowing who you truly are.
