Traci Bateman: Growing Up Without Mom

Branding only works if you truly believe in what you put into the world. Traci Bateman knew what she wanted to contribute from a young age after losing her mother to breast cancer at 14 years old; a lifelong journey of wellness. Wellness came in many forms. Pursuing a desire for education she graduated from the University of Calgary with a degree in economics in 1988. She returned to her studies two decades later to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco for Interior Architecture and Design. Traci’s childhood loss lit a lifelong fire within her of how not to die.

Live life. Live it fully. Live for yourself and live for others. Love influenced Traci’s every action, from winning nine club championships on the links, to laying down roots in Edmonton to be with the love of her life Mike, her two step sons, and two golden doodles. 

Much like branding, a life well lived, is a life of change. Traci has rebranded herself professionally multiple times. She’s owned businesses from golf accessories, marketing, interior design, and most recently opening Bliss YogaSpa in 2012; an ambitious resort style spa that melds yoga with beauty. Quite simply, Bliss is the culmination of a life in pursuit of Wellness, for the mind, body and soul. Traci Bateman truly believes in what she has put into the world.
