Right from the time she was a little girl, Tracey McGlashan felt called to work with hurting and broken children and youth and be the person for them that she wished someone had been for her during her childhood years of abuse at the hands of her grandmother.

This vision has grown to encompass all ages, and Tracey desires to see people released from their bondages and be set free to live in their true identity.
Tracey is the founder of P.O.W. (People Of Worth) which provides workshops and seminars for people who want to break free from the mindsets and labels that they have lived under all their lives and discover their true identity, purpose and freedom.
