Traci’s journey towards Oncology Esthetics was sparked by a personal experience. When a regular client suddenly stopped coming for her monthly appointments, Traci discovered that the client had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. The lack of readily available information on safe skincare treatments for cancer patients prompted Traci to undertake her own research. She started making home visits to provide her client with personalized and compassionate care. The client was deeply moved by Traci’s dedication and support during a challenging time when others found it hard to cope with her diagnosis.
Inspired by this experience, Traci decided to become a certified oncology esthetician and instructor. She also founded “A New Daly Beginning,” a non-profit organization in Georgia. Her non-profit is dedicated to providing cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers access to complimentary or low-cost, safe, and relaxing skincare, massage, and wellness therapies. Additionally, it offers educational resources to help them navigate life-changing experiences.
