Tracey Puckhaber is a music therapist and the administrative coordinator at Nourishing Minds Tutoring. She has been a board-certified music therapist for more than 20 years and has a deep passion for working with children. Before moving upstate from Long Island in 2022, she spent more than 10 years working in a special needs preschool.
After relocating, Tracey and her husband worked in hospitality at Blue Water Manor in Bolton Landing. She joined Nourishing Minds as a music therapist in 2024 and has since expanded her role to include administrative responsibilities.
In September 2025, Tracey launched Tracey’s Twinkle Tunes, a music program focused on social, emotional, and cognitive growth in children under five. The program runs in 4 to 6 week sessions and has expanded to the Bolton Free Library and the Bolton Central School District’s preschool and kindergarten classes.
Tracey began playing the organ in churches at 16 and later served as an accompanist and music director at many churches on Long Island. Today she fills in at local churches in Fort Edward and Hudson Falls, and works with the Children’s Choir at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Glens Falls. She is also the music director at Lakeside Chapel, a seasonal church in Cleverdale.
