Meet Tracy
Everything here started in a classroom
Tracy Chadwick
Founder and lead trainer
Tracy is a neurodivergent teacher, trainer and somatic practitioner. She spent years in mainstream schools, alternative provision, pupil referral units and specialist SEMH settings, and kept meeting children whose behaviour made complete sense once you understood what was underneath. Nothing that existed helped the adults around them see it, so she started building.
✓
The six pillars came out of what she was seeing in real classrooms
✓
Every course, resource and intervention has been written by Tracy
✓
Snapshots, the Professional Studio and KidZone all began the same way
✓
All of it tested in schools, colleges and settings before it went anywhere
BOUNCE training is Tracy’s own work, written from practice and kept current by her. The specialists below teach in their own fields alongside it, each bringing something she does not.
The team around it
Specialists who bring their own expertise alongside
Teachers, therapists and specialists who share one commitment: helping the adults around a child understand them earlier. Each brings a field of their own. The BOUNCE Approach® training remains Tracy’s.

Anyone joining the team is clear about that distinction from the outset.
