About Jodi

Pain and Peace will always co-exist in our lifetime, but sometimes, when the pain seems too overwhelming, how do we balance it all, without losing ourselves and our purpose, along the way? After many cumulative losses in my lifetime, my head kept telling me to be strong, but my heart was tired of “trying to be strong” and stuffing down the pain. 

My faith will always be the greatest gift I've ever known, as My Creator has carried me through many trials.

My children will always be the greatest gift I was ever given.

When it comes to The Grief Recovery Method, it is the greatest gift I've ever given to myself, and a gift that I am now privileged to give to many others.

GRM is an action-based, evidence-based, educational program for dealing with grief and loss. It can be applied to any loss, past or present. GRM changed my perspective 360 degrees in knowing that not only can you survive grief, but you can grow exponentially from it, if you are committed to doing the work.

The first 12 years of my professional career, I worked for two large corporations, traveling, moving 10+ times between both spouses’ careers. After the loss of my 30 year-old brother, corporate policy allowed 3 days off when then loss was due to the death of an “immediate family member". Unfortunately, the reality of what society expects is often the opposite of what we "need" in dealing with loss. We are expected to keep a stiff upper lip, don't let them see you sweat, time will heal, even though your heart has just been broken into a million pieces.

Most people try to deal with grief and loss by intellectualizing it. Or we find someone to confide in, who is a good listener and may lift us up temporarily, but that is about as far as they can take us. Whether you prefer receiving support 1:1 or in a group setting (workshop), you will benefit from the GRM program.

It is my sincerest hope that in this life, you find peace, and that in case no one has ever told you this before, You ARE Enough, and You ARE Fully Known by your Creator, always have been, always will be. 

It is never too soon to begin to heal your heart. I hope to walk alongside you soon.
