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.
