Are you surprised to learn that we start life as fully creative beings and the percentage drops over time from nearly 100% to as low as 2% by the time we are adults?*
I believe there is a link between the loss of personal creative power and the loss of a sense of wholeness—an integrity that runs through all areas of our lives.
Since childhood, I have wondered what makes me, and others, tick. I stared up at the night sky and asked how does this human thing work and why do I feel so grounded yet so connected to the stars? I wanted answers and I wanted to use what I learned to be of service to that wholeness. I guess you could say that I’ve been coaching and learning since I was eating in a school cafeteria. Having experienced deep transformation along the way myself, I know what growth can entail and that it’s possible to come through, sense of humor intact.
I’ve been told that I open the door for others to uncover creative solutions that their best efforts had not previously been able to find. I’ve also been told “Things resolve easily around you.” I facilitate, or help forward, the flow of the transformational journey. Thus begins the reclaiming of that valuable creative power, the whole, integral self, and ownership of tools for navigating life as it unfolds.
My own unfolding has taken me from a New York banking career where I was named VP at age 28, to Paris two years later, where I lived and worked for 15 years. That’s where I first met Katie Hendricks and began regular trips to California for coaching training.
Ongoing education is important to me and my pursuits have been wide and varied. They include: The Hendricks Institute Leadership Program; The Enneagram; The New Seminary; Toastmasters; training in meditation and energy healing, and improv workshops and classes. I continue to hone my intuitive skills, providing clear insights, support, and useful tools for infinite personal potential.
My love of travel has taken me to some 25 countries and prompted me to live in a variety of delightful places. I currently reside in Ojai California, a magical valley not far from Los Angeles.

Feedback from Jody's Workshop Participants
Jody is inspiring! She has mastered the ability to weave deep transformation with play and invites playful discoveries that will change your life.
I didn’t know of the possibility of shifting a problem or pattern by playing with it. I feel I’ve taken something heavy and lightened my load today.
This program presented new ways for me to understand myself, my feelings and how to change the way I am reacting in various situations.
GREAT facilitator. Jody generously provides “real time” tools to open my mind and body to possibilities I already have – that were hidden before I took this workshop.
