Do you struggle with your relationship with food or feel uncomfortable in your skin? Do you feel like you are in a constant state of stress and out of tune with what emotions are leading you to the pantry? Let’s embark on a journey together to peel back all the layers behind your struggles.

As a Certified Mind Body/Eating Psychology Coach, I specialize in Mind Body Nutrition and Dynamic Eating Psychology principles. I also use my knowledge as an Occupational Therapist to help you on your journey. As an empath and highly sensitive soul, I will partner with you to help uncover the emotions around your unwanted eating behaviours, negative body image and desire to lose weight.

With 18 years of Case Management experience, I also act as your advocate and liaison to find you additional support outside of my area of expertise, when needed.

Let me guide and support you in your healing journey as you learn to relax into the process of finally allowing yourself to Just Be.

Are you ready to begin your healing journey?

Are you a chronic dieter? Have you been searching for years and years for the “magic” solution to all of your health concerns? Are you constantly looking for a quick fix and specific plan to follow for your diet and exercise? Do you struggle with overeating, binge eating, emotional eating, chronic dieting, or do you have issues with mood, immunity or digestion?

Do you feel out of tune with your emotions and unable to name what you are feeling at any given moment? Have you ever found yourself in the pantry polishing off a sleeve of Oreos to avoid uncomfortable feelings? Do you ever feel like you are living in your head and completely out of touch with your body sensations? Or do you often feel like you are on a hamster wheel in a state of “go, go, go” and never taking time to relax?

If any of this resonates with you, I can help you understand and recognize that there is no instant solution. Perhaps it is time for you to explore a new approach to address your eating concerns?

Can you imagine a life no longer counting calories or macronutrients, ditching the “starting fresh on Monday” mentality, learning to accept yourself in the process and teaching yourself to JUST BE?

I will partner with you on your healing journey and help you become more aware and in tune with your emotions. I will also provide strategies for feeling more embodied and regulating your nervous system. Together we will explore why “how” you eat can be just as important as “what” you are eating. I use gentle guidance and compassion to support you as you uncover the emotional root of your unwanted behaviours.

I am so excited to join you and walk with you every step of the way as we embark on this journey together.

“Jodi has a gift in understanding the connection between food and emotions. She had a kind and gentle way about her that makes you feel supported. She is a wonderful listener and truly makes you feel heard. If you have issues with body image challenges, binge eating, or nutrition related health concerns - I would highly recommend reaching out to Jodi!”

“Coming from a history of restrictive eating and compulsive exercise, I found myself slipping and signed up to work with Jodi. In five sessions, Jodi compassionately encouraged me with better eating and realigned me to my passions and joys as reminders to avoid restrictive behaviours. There was no judgment and Jodi was a cheerleader helping me work through body image issues with reminders that I was not alone in my journey. Through self-compassion Jodi brought me back home to myself and her calm personality made every session one I looked forward to! I am so grateful to Jodi and can’t recommend her enough!”

I was drawn into this healing work because of my own personal struggles with eating, dieting and learning to feel comfortable in my skin. And more recently, I have discovered the importance of learning to identify and sit with ALL emotions to avoid using food as a numbing mechanism. As well as the impact that being in a chronic state of stress has on digestion and many other areas of my life.

I have also realized that the root of all my negative beliefs has been persistent shame and I now know the importance of honouring my worth.

 

 

“Jodi is an open-minded, non-judgmental, and very accepting person whose mere presence creates a safe space for those she's working with. She exudes a palpable sincerity in kind, caring, compassion which allows one to feel comfortable in their vulnerability - a key factor required in learning, changing, healing and growth. Jodi's background in Occupational Therapy is evident in her ability to see the whole person including the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual factors that affect our experiences - this makes Jodi's work services powerfully effective. I am grateful for Jodi's offerings and am excited for everyone who gets the opportunity to work with her!”
