Tracey’s contributions have allowed us to:
- Cover part of the much-needed funds we needed for transportation and meals for a meeting and training session of the volunteer counsellors of the AD Suicide Prevention Program (https://angie.org.za/) in South Africa.
- Buy food for a teenager in crisis (See our Success Stories).
- Cover part of our banking fees for July 2025.
My name is Tracey, and I am 56 years old and originally from Edinburgh, Scotland. I moved to Turkey over 30 years ago, where I built a life, and family, and a passion for helping others change their lives through health and wellbeing. I’m proud to call Turkey home, where I live with my husband and our two wonderful children.
In 2017, after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, which turned out to be a life-changing surgery, I was inspired to create GetSlim in Turkey, a trusted health tourism company dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable medical care in one of the world’s most beautiful destinations.
At GetSlim, we specialise in supporting international clients seeking expert weight loss and cosmetic procedures, offering a personal, safe, and honest service from consultation, translation to recovery. With world-class healthcare professionals and our mission is to make medical travel a positive and empowering experience.
What began as a personal journey has grown into a company that has helped thousands of people take control of their health and happiness — and that’s something I’m incredibly proud of every day
