About Us
In 2000 Tracey Kiernan combined her extensive experience of working with TMJ patients for almost 20 years as a dental professional, with her training as a clincal massage therapist to create a soft tissue protocol to support people living with TMJD
In 2005 she created the first TMJ course which has been taught to hundreds of therapists across the UK, Europe, USA and Australia .
Tracey has presented on the subject as far afield as Copenhagen where she worked with Gunna Højgaard sharing her work at the prestigious MassageSkolen.
A sought after speaker and author on this subject, Tracey has presented at international events including the British Fascia Symposium, appears in webinars for leading professional organisations, and has contributed articles to several publications, including Todays Therapist, Thinktree Hub, and best selling textbooks on clinical bodywork and specialist ScarWork.
The skills taught by Tracey allow trained therapists to support those who have often had symptoms for years.
In 2025 to celebrate 25 years of TMJ Therapy Tracey hosted the first ever British TMJD Symposium bringing top experts on this subject from around the world together

"The Best Teacher and Training"
-Annie, Therapist.
I've been on many courses at different training centres & by far, Blend has the best teacher and training.
Blend offers, what no other training centres has done before, and therapists are booking more courses. I was at her first Blend class & I never looked back.The classes have a relaxed, positive attitude & I've made wonderful, trusting friendships.Tracey is fantastic person & her teaching reaffirms you as a therapist. I've had many light bulb experiences from her classes.She goes that extra mile outside the classroom, whether it's finding the nearest guesthouse, marketing advice, showing your true worth, boosting you up when your brain isn't getting it. I'm always evolving, as a therapist, my confidence & knowledge has grown. My hard-work has paid off, clients are rebooking & my work days are being filled. I love my job.
