I have had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Jody for a number of years and continue to be impressed by the compassion, intention, and expertise she brings to her training work. She has served as faculty on Transcending Sexual Trauma through Yoga courses, bringing a survivor-centered and trauma-informed lens to her trainings on integrating trauma-informed yoga into mental health settings and preventing compassion fatigue. She is a dynamic, deeply insightful, and inspiring human and it has been an honor to witness the incredible impact she has on survivors and healing professionals. Her passion for this work is unmatched and I look forward to all of the ways she will continue to change lives through her heart-centered and deeply compassionate approach.

“Jody was just what our doula team needed! For a long time we looked for someone to support our doulas, who understood the nuances of what it takes to work with birthing families in the community. When we began working with Jody, we felt supported, heard, and understood. She provided continuous clinical supervision- which was customized to support each doulas unique needs. Jody was always professional, empathetic and made a difference in the quality of our work. She promoted mental health, wellness and healthy boundaries from a holistic approach. She has a wealth of knowledge and we haven’t found anyone who compares!”

“I had the honor to work with Jody; and can not provide a more stellar review. Jody is an incredible, caring, empathic and intuitive therapist. She cares deeply about the profession of helping others; and her support is unmatchable. She has a natural warm personality; and I instantly felt comfortable around her, which is instrumental in opening up. It was clear to me, that she was meant to support people; and that she genuinely cares for the well-being of her clients.”
