In a private and relaxed setting - your comfort zone – we discuss how you feel about your body.
What messages, perhaps from childhood, are you repeating and reliving in your head everyday? Through a couple of techniques that are easy to do, Traci will walk you through “coming to peace” with yourself. Re-framing how you look at yourself will improve your life!
In a few short hours, Traci McBride gave me a makeover that boosted my confidence, self esteem…and
visual impact. I just returned from a visit with the harshest critics of all: my family. Each and every one of them complemented my new hair cut and color, clothing and appearance.
I traveled by train on this trip, and was amazed that three different men flirted with me. (This hasn’t happened in over
5 years. Even though I am married, nearing 60, and 40 pounds overweight, younger men were sending me warm vibes!)
I’m sure it was brought on by the new look and confidence that Traci’s expert eye developed. I would recommend
Traci McBride Image Consulting to anyone. She’s terrific. Best of all, she wasn’t a sledge-hammer in her approach. She
helped me make the changes without terrifying or abusing me in the process. Otherwise, I couldn’t have managed it.

Through a series of questions we determine your lifestyle, goals, comfort level, likes and dislikes. Through this dialogue we will be guided to your natural style.
Understanding how to balance your personal body proportion is important for an overall understanding of body image. This is information you will use every time you dress and shop. Even the shape and size of the purse you carry can affect this balance.

Using a Gemstone® system: COLOR TOOLS developed by a color and cosmetic expert with 30 years experience, we will determine your best POWER PALETTE . Best to do when you have a naked face and your hair pulled back with a white towel or headband, we’ll use natural light and hold up faceplates of colors to determine the palette that makes your face take center stage while softening your flaws and accenting your best features. This will make you look fresher, younger and energized.

Overall, this is one of the most beneficial times we can spend together. Using a series of questions we can determine what you are moving away from while focusing the desire of what you are reaching for in your personal style to best reflect your personality, lifestyle and professional goals. We then move to ‘shopping’ in your closet. We'll determine where you may be stuck in your perception of yourself while trying on each item, and through demonstration, helping you understand the reason why each item may or may not be working for your personal proportions. We can see patterns that may be sabotaging your image and confidence.
“TeeMcBee Image Consulting is exactly what I needed to help me focus my wardrobe investment and make a more impactful statement with my clothes.
For all the money I spend on clothes, I cannot believe I did not invest in an image consultant sooner. Traci helped me create more outfits with my existing pieces,
removed “non –enhancing” piece for charities and created a list of items to extend my wardrobe. She is a must have piece.“

After learning and adjusting to your new style and image, you will then learn and understand the best fabrics, cuts and proportions for your personal figure. Implementing those techniques can be daunting the very first time. If you try to conquer this first shopping trip on your own you may fall back on old habits that were sabotaging you out of overwhelm.
Just like the first time you dine away from home after learning new ways to prepare and measure your food intake. Easy to make mistakes. Shopping that first time out with your personal image consultant will take the stress out and you can practice saving money and time with your personal coach standing right beside you.
When consultations are purchased in a package and pre-paid you save ten dollars an hour. Al carte services are billed at seventy-five per hour with a four hour minimum per appointment. Appointments within 30 miles of Avon Lake are included - beyond that a travel fee will apply.
Depending on the situation and comfort level of participants this can be accomplished one-on-one or in a group setting. This is perfect for anyone who may feel uneasy in social situations, interviews, and networking in groups, or speaking in your position at work. Do you ‘look’ confident? Do you ‘feel’ confident? How do you perceive the image you project?
Turning 50 wasn’t so bad, but 55 ended up being more than I could take. After a few internet dates I felt pretty deflated of what was available for women my age. A co-worker in another department of my company had gone through a transformational make-over and everyone was talking about how great she looked. So I approached her in the cafeteria and asked her about her experience. She happily gave me TeeMcBee’s business card. Her story was an awful divorce after 30 years of marriage. I wanted to attract different men then what I was currently meeting on the internet. So I had a 15 min. chat with Traci and I knew she could follow-through and deliver. Here it is months later and I’m finally taking the time to write my story—let’s just say I’ve been so busy meeting men of a totally different caliber—not only because I look better—but more importantly I FEEL better and CONFIDENT. Until my makeover I hadn’t realized just how dated I had been and stuck in my old rut. No more!

TeeMcBee begin always begins with a 15-20 min. complimentary, private telephone consultation to see if you feel comfortable with the process. Through a series of questions we can decide what your goals are and your comfort level in achieving those goals.
We believe everyone needs to start with a good body image which is the foundation to style. It doesn’t have to be perfect but a progression towards a positive body image is key.
Next we will meet one-on-one to evaluate the goals and priorities in person... beginning in the closet. What have you been buying? What are you drawn to and why? Dealing only with the current season we try on and discuss why each item works or doesn’t work on your body type and coloring. This is an opportunity for you to learn many tips and techniques on how to shop, save money and have fewer clothes but more outfits!
Before spending one dollar we need to know your Power Colors. Why continue buying clothes in colors that don’t flatter you? We want to know Power Colors to look younger, fresher and alive!
This can be done immediately following the Evaluation (Step #2) or in a separate appointment. During a Color Analysis, we evaluate your skin tones and features with a naked face, hair pulled back in a white towel and in natural lighting. Your skin tone determines whether you are a warm or cool. When we’re finished you will have a handy pocket color tool so you always purchase clothing in your Power Colors.
I am a proud supporter of Dress for Success Cleveland and organize many fundraisers throughout the year. Also as complementery service - everytime I do a Closet Audit any items we determine no longer honor your figure and style will be taken to Dress for Success and they will provide a receipt for your tax deduction.
As a 'Personal Shopper' at the Dress for Success office in downtown Cleveland, I completely enjoy helping the women prepare for their job interview. Many times the suit I put together with them is the very first time they have ever had the opportunity to wear a suit. Through the generous donations of clothing, accessories and money from regular everyday hardworking Clevelanders
this program totally change lives.
Dress for Success Cleveland promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and life.
I met Traci at a womens' networking, event and was impressed right off the bat with her sense of style, I scheduled a consultation and didn't know what to expect. I've changed careers from extremely professional to a business casual dress and have been searching for a long time to find the right style for my plus size and vertically challenged body type. Traci came out and we went through mu closets and discovered I had outfits all along but just didn't know how to put them together, now let me make one thing clear I thought I was doing OK with my style and that Traci was just going to confirm that and give a few ideas. However, when we opened my overstuffed colorful closets we discovered I had way to much patterned items and that I was out of control with my purchases. My mind set was "if it came close to fitting I'll fit into it one day" and I bought it. After getting to the bottom of spending habits and the need to fill a hole that centered around my weight we purged 75% of my closet, and boy did it feel good to get rid of the stuff that was holding me back - every time I opened my closet it told me I couldn't fit into the items on the hangers. Now I open it up and have just the right things and have more with less. Traci is not just a wonderful stylist she is a self-motivator and really listened to why my closets were attacking me every time I opened them. I do feel like a burden was lifted and have begun to move to other areas of my home to purge, purge, purge.
