ABOUT US + TEAM
Movement, Mobility + Mindfulness
Tracy Hayes
TRACY HAYES
founder
Tracy Tanguay is a mobility expert also known as “MobilityChick” and has worked with players and coaches from 27 of the 30 MLB organizations, from A-ball to All-Star as well as high school and college teams.
Tracy regularly consults with big league coaches for her expertise in training quality movement patterns, the space and transitions between positions, and mobility specifically as it relates to athletic performance and staying healthy.
Tracy’s Offseason Mobility program helped to keep every single Angelo State University player injury-free all season long contributing to their clinching the D2 National Championship this year. That same program has resulted in lower ERAs, increased velo, reduced injury, doubled Home Run rates, over a dozen big league call ups and benefits multi-sport athletes, too.
Tracy has been featured on MLB.com for her movement and mobility work with the Orioles and she’s got a book coming out in 2024 called “Shit About Movement You Should Know”.
Tracy has a degree in neuroscience + cognitive science from Northwestern University, previously had a corporate career in research at McKinsey & Company and now has over 1,000 hours in Yoga training, is a published Master Pilates Instructor, has a boatload of education, certifications and experience.
All this while raising 4 young kiddos, a dog and a bearded dragon that regularly goes missing in her house.

Approach
Tracy’s approach to movement combines methodologies to improve kinematic sequencing thru neuromuscular training improving complex dynamic movement patterns through systematic neural mapping with attention to developing “true” core strength, improving active ROM, and remedying inefficiencies and imbalances within the body. There’s also a bit of vision training snuck in there. That’s all fancy talk for creating better motor patterns and training the body to move much more smoothly all while mitigating the risk of injury.

Tracy’s vast background includes Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, and Linguistics during her studies at Northwestern University, a professional career in Research at McKinsey & Company in addition to advanced studies in biomechanics for athletes. Her methods incorporate fundamentals from PRI, FRC, ELDOA, Physical Therapy-based functional yoga (LYT), in addition to Classical Pilates, and over 1,000 hours of specialized yoga training. Tracy is a Master Pilates instructor and published author, an NLP Practitioner, trained in EFT (Tapping), and is a regular with Vipassana meditation.
