jodie’s essential beliefs

The connection between client and therapist is the most important aspect of therapy.

You are the expert on your life.

Humans will go to great lengths to gain a sense of safety and security in our important relationships.

The coping strategies we learn through neglect, trauma, long-term stress, and other situations where our basic needs aren't met can be over-applied and get in our way when used past their expiration date.

Theories and models that inform my work include:

  • Attachment Theory

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

  • Internal Family Systems

  • Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy

  • Structural Family Therapy

Soulful reiki

Reiki can restore a sense of balance to both the mind and the emotions, building an inner calmness that benefits the mind, body, and soul through the recovery process.

The Reiki practice is begun by a short guided mindfulness and meditation to assist in easing the mind and allowing the physical body to achieve a sense of relaxation, which softens the soul for receptivity through the Reiki session.

Each Reiki session can be adaptable and flexible to meet each person's needs.

Theories and models that inform my work include:

  • Certified Advanced Reiki Practitioner

  • Certified Yoga Teacher

  • Black Hat Sect Feng Shui
