Tracy Penfield founded SafeArt in 2000 after 20 years as an Artist
Educator, in Fiber Arts and Dance. Her experience in an abusive
relationship from the age of 14 to 29 gave her a distinct perspective
on how her students’ were responding to making art in any form, and at any age. Wanting to work across the
spectrum of prevention and recovery from traumatic abuse gave rise to the concept of SafeArt, and for a decade SafeArt has been providing group and individual sessions, original performances, creative
workshops, and leader training, all designed to educate, to inspire and to heal people and their
communities. In 2008, Altus Healing Arts was opened as SafeArt’s home in Chelsea, Vermont. Tracy offers individual therapeutic sessions that combine energy and body
work, movement, and voice in a process she developed, called Tracing. Tracy also teaches Dance, Yoga,
Weaving, Mindful Eating and Summer Arts Camps for Youth.

Steve Gordon, Licensed Massage Therapist, offers a range of massage techniques from fairly light to deep tissue, for relaxation as well as pain relief and injury rehab. He also provides massage for people with cancer, and end-of-life massage. Heated stone massage is also available. Steve has been practicing massage for more than a decade, most recently with offices in Plainfield, N.H., and in his home in Cornish. He will continue working part time at home, but is closing the Plainfield office and moving part of his practice to the Center.
Steve is the founder and executive director of The Hand to Heart Project, the Upper Valley nonprofit that offers free, in-home massage and compassionate touch to people with advanced cancer. His work at the Center -- beginning with one day per week and likely expanding from there -- will be a general practice, and he looks forward to working with people referred by Erica Zinter and Kari Gleiser, including people with histories of trauma.
Steve is a compassionate and very attuned massage therapist. He can work explicitly with clients to create a sense of safety and comfort around body work. He is also open to collaborating with, learning from and coordinating care with therapists, so if you have patients with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, somatoform complaints or chronic physical aftermath of trauma, whom you have always thought might benefit from massage, please consider referring them to Steve. His work with cancer patients and end-of-life massage has given him experience holding people through intense and emotional life circumstances.
Steve is now taking appointments for Tuesdays beginning in June. He can be reached at (603) 542-8367 (home); (603) 477-4700 (cell); or gordons@valley.net. The costs are: 60-minute massage, $80; 90-minute massage, $115. Heated stone massage, an additional $10.
