Hello, I’m Jodie.

Services
I use art because it keeps people in the present moment long enough to rewire the brain. Art-making uses creativity to facilitate change, emotional growth and wellbeing. It is powerful and unique in its ability to act as a safe container and vehicle for unconscious material to surface for recognition, reflection and a deep exploration of the Self.
I provide Sexual Health Education to Parents, Guardians and Educators. You will gain an understanding of what it means to be an askable adult and get a clear idea of how to teach body science from an inclusive, positive, comprehensive lens. You will learn about human physiology and how the reproductive organs grow and develop, and what to teach and at which age.
Creating Healthy Routines
It’s not easy to change the trajectory of our lives. It takes effort and commitment and often a supportive relationship along the way. We can do it alone, for sure. There are so many podcasts, apps and self-help books available that we can read through and apply but how many of those teachings stay with us after a day, a week, or a year? How quickly do we return to the thoughts and behaviours that no longer serve us?
Certainly, these habits and thoughts have served a purpose in the past. Likely, they were developed to protect us. But now, in our current situation we need to ask ourselves, do I still need these? Can I let them go? Or can I put them on the shelf and make room for new growth, routines and beliefs? Can I move forward, and focus on better knowing myself, new ways of being and relationships that are healing?
I believe you can.
Wellness, happiness & growth
Few of us are truly present in our lives. Between the demands of the systems and institutions in which we live and work and the expectations in our personal lives we often function in a state of anxiety about the future or frustration/regret about the past. When we can bring ourselves back to the present with intention, better understand the roots of our emotions and intention of our behaviour, we can bring about change and greater overall well-being.
I invite you into a practice that can promote wellness, happiness, and growth – a creative practice that can enhance intuition and person insight.
