The loss of a beloved sister to Leukemia in early childhood had a profound effect on Jodi. At seven years old, she observed how illness and mortality affect relationships with others, as well as the Self.
This early experience of the reality of death opened Jodi to the existential questions around life, death, dis-ease, and the process of healing. She began a lifelong quest to deepen her awareness of these enormous and universal questions.
In her early twenties, Jodi found herself at a crisis point, and sought refuge in nature. In an abandoned mining cabin in the Opal Creek wilderness of Oregon, she literally tripped over a book called “Hands of Light”. The book was pivotal for putting words to the sensations and processes of healing oneself that Jodi had already begun to experience. She immediately felt a connection to the author and the work, and in due time found herself with a four-year accredited healing arts degree from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing.
Jodi began her healing practice in 2002. Her compassion for others has led her to share healing techniques, specifically with energy and consciousness, so that others may engage in the process of transformation.
Jodi remains ever curious about her work and her clients, believing that everyone has their own unique path. She is gifted with the ability to listen to others, encouraging them to gently find the parts of themselves that are not aligned with their highest intentions. Jodi’s mission is to guide her patients toward a deeper understanding of how they have the power to heal themselves.
Working with Jodi means learning to question our limiting beliefs to bring the parts of ourselves that are separated back into wholeness. She places a focus on pulling unconscious behaviors and reactions into the space of conscious awareness. This enables her patients to make decisions based on how they want to be, instead of reacting to old patterns that do not serve the NOW self.
Jodi has an ongoing love of witnessing the transformation of others. Providing the emotional tools, the space, and the physical movement that enables her patients to get to this place of healing brings her great joy. This work is both challenging and deeply fulfilling. The journey she began as a seven-year-old child has become her deepest passion.

“People have the innate, inherent ability to heal themselves.
In order to truly change, a person needs to bring whatever has been held in separation, in unconsciousness, back into conscious awareness.
From there, they can create a new set of emotional tracks, a groove, in which the energy matches a higher level of consciousness.
You can live according to your essential nature. This change ripples out and changes the world.”
