Client Love

“After a lifetime of trauma, doing my deep work with my therapist helped me overcome my depression, anxiety and disordered eating.”

“I loved the visualisations and experiential exercises in my course – especially the house and wholeness visualization.”

“Each new year I started a new diet plan, and each new year I failed. After working with my therapist, I have a whole new perspective.”

“Such an interesting tester workshop. The only problem was that the course was only for an hour – I want more!”

“Jodie is a great presenter and has such a great depth of knowledge. I highly recommend her workshop on mindfulness.”

“Working with my therapist was so powerful – I was feeling so stuck and she helped me clarify my goals for the future.”

“Jodie’s generosity in sharing her time, knowledge and tips were invaluable. She has a wealth of knowledge which she is able to impart in an engaging, succinct, warm manner.”

“My therapist mirrored back to me my own strength, my own purpose, my own soul – that is what kept me digging deep and showing up for myself.”

“Jodie is extremely encouraging and supportive. I now feel excited and confident that I can fulfill my dream knowing that she is there to guide me. Jodie, you are a superstar!”

“My therapist always reflected back to me that there was something better waiting on the other side of darkness.”

“My therapist was the lighthouse throughout my recovery journey. She offered me light until I found my own.”

“I believe in destiny and I am so grateful that my therapist came into my life – she taught me about honesty, trust, boundaries, and healthy love.”

 

“Working with my therapist has improved my relationships with my family, friends and work colleagues.”

“My therapist’s compassion and desire to see me live my best life is palpable. I owe her my life.”

“After our work together, I feel so much more confident, empowered and self-believing.”

“My therapist taught me how to be a nourishing mother to myself – this meant finding ways to soothe myself and meet my needs in other ways, rather than using food.”

“Working with my therapist, I have been able to heal and move away from my early childhood pain and trauma. I learnt how to nurture and be true to myself.”

“The kindness, love and compassion Jodie shared are the most important tools I’ll ever need. The world needs a million more Jodies!”

“My therapist’s love and encouragement completely changed my life. She was down to earth, caring and compassionate.”
