About

Hi my name is Tracy McMahon, I am 45 years of age and owner of 5 holistic, alternative, complementary health companies within Liverpool, England.

I am an integrated health specialist of 14 years and owner of AWARD winning holistic health clinic Buddha Therapies in Liverpool.

In 2014, I was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome.  It is a kidney condition which causes deterioration of the nephrons in the kidneys and serious health symptoms such as high blood pressure, oedema and fatigue. This was bought on by emotional stress and the only option the consultants gave to me was conventional drugs and long term steroids. I asked them if I could have 6 months to try and heal it myself and decrease the symptoms and 10 months later my blood tests were perfect.

I meditated, took more time off work, practised yoga, walked in fresh air, had countless holistic treatments and changed my diet to organic, cut out meat and took certified organic supplements.

I now use myself as an example that holistic well-being can help you spiritually, physically and mentally.

We treat many conditions such as fertility, migraines, spinal injuries, digestive problems, insomnia, COPD, Raynaud’s, arthritis, lupus, acne, tennis elbow, menstrual issues, cancer plus much more.

The team at Buddha Therapies continually work and train together to boost healing methods and to be able to offer our clients a more extensive range of individual prescriptions.

Part of our expanding team are a councillor and hypnotherapist who works very successfully with men, women and children, and a lady who provides food intolerance testing to help recognise disease that occurs with eating the wrong foods. Plus we hold Angel meditation events.

My leadership at Buddha Therapies is completely based on its service. To provide health, well-being and compassion to the clients, staff and also to myself. This comes in so many ways. I study, research and learn to help our staff give the best they can give and to help empower them through compassionate service, to take control of their own health and to awaken the healing power inside them. Integrating the best of modern medical science and ancient eastern healing methods, we promote well-being on an emotional, spiritual and physical level.

My personal integrity is my passion, an affinity with people, nurturing them to recovery and growth often when they are mentally and physically depleted and my personal resilience I try to teach to others too, is your emotional and spiritual strength which enables you to enjoy life, survive pain, disappointment and sadness. We, the practitioner absorb other people’s pain and hurt and are still able to carry on every day while keeping ourselves ok.

We were voted best holistic business in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 in Liverpool, and in 2015 came runner up to Edge Hill University in Liverpool at the House of Lords in London for a national “Mental Health First Aid champions award”.

In recognition of the work we do with children, we were asked to attend different schools across Liverpool for children with behavioural problems and mental disabilities, to help guide them on their journeys when they leave school. We talk about employability and my journey and also talk about health and well-being with our business, Little Buddha Wellbeing.

Also, in recognition of the work we do with fertility, we were asked by Professor Charles Kingsland, the head of the whole North West for IVF fertility, to host a talk in the Hewitt centre in the Liverpool Women’s Hospital regarding what we provide and how it is successful with fertility treatments.

I deeply believe that the message and importance of holistic therapies as preventative medicine should be taught to everybody.

Buddha Therapies Academy was then created to deliver alternative, holistic, complementary and traditional eastern Asian therapy courses to men and women, our academy won “Best training provider 2019 in Liverpool”, and "Best Training Academy 2022 Holistic - The Guild of excellence"

From an extension of the healing work we deliver, we discovered that interlinking nutrition was a key factor in health so our nutrition business, Buddha Therapies Nutrition was created, delivering organic, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free supplements to our clients to assist in health and recovery, and understanding the importance of plant medicine combined in therapies and nutrition, we then created The Buddha Apothecary, Buddha Balm therapeutically based natural oils / balms / scrubs for the face and body, safely and professionally blended to help with various different symptoms and conditions, Buddha Thera-Teas, a herbal prescription of organic teas plus Buddha Life health supplements.

One major factor we have to be extremely aware of nowadays is stress, stress accounts for a huge amount of illness, holistic therapies and plant based oils can offer one of the best ways of combating the trauma of stress without having to resort to drugs which can be habit forming and damaging to your health.

Physical illness that has continued over a long period causes a negative emotional state, and this can eventually lead to a compromised immune system. This situation can be particularly devastating since the weakened immune system will now be more vulnerable to further infection and another new infection can lead to even further emotional depression. A downward spiral of emotional and physical health can occur, producing a vicious cycle of illness that can be very difficult to break without the correct treatment. Scientists have proven that negative and positive emotions really can change the complex chemistry of our bodies, and these changes can have a negative or positive effect on the immune and hormone system.
This is why we have to take all of our lifestyle challenges into account and understand the word Holistic as a whole approach.
