Support that begins with listening.


Jodi's one-on-one work is not based on forcing change or applying one method to every person. Each session begins by listening—to the person, the nervous system, and the body's natural pace.

Some people come seeking support through conversation, awareness, and nervous-system work. Others need the grounding experience of attentive touch and bodywork. Both pathways are rooted in presence, consent, collaboration, and respect for the body's wisdom.

You are welcome to arrive exactly as you are. There is no expectation to perform, disclose more than feels right, or experience the session in a particular way.

Two Pathways of Support

Virtual

Somatic Experiencing® Sessions

Private one-on-one sessions for people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in survival responses, or affected by stress and difficult experiences. Sessions may include conversation, body awareness, nervous-system education, tracking sensations and impulses, resourcing, and gentle pacing.

You remain in control of the pace. You do not need to recount every detail of a difficult experience to receive support.

Integrative Bodywork

Attentive, unhurried body-based care for rest, reconnection, and nervous-system support. Sessions draw from Jodi's bodywork offerings and are responsive to the individual rather than delivered as a rigid routine.

Each session is shaped around what your body needs on that day.

A different way of being supported.


Somatic Experiencing® is a body-oriented approach that pays attention to sensations, protective responses, impulses, emotions, breath, movement, and the nervous system. Rather than pushing through or processing everything at once, it works with manageable amounts of experience at a gentle pace.

Sessions are collaborative. You choose what to share, what to explore, and when to pause. There is no formula—each session responds to what is present for you.

What a session may include:

  • Conversation and reflection
  • Noticing sensations, breath, movement, and impulses
  • Identifying resources and existing capacities
  • Nervous-system education
  • Gentle experiments that support awareness and choice
  • Time for integration

Your session, at your pace.


Sessions are collaborative, consent-based, and responsive. You are welcome to ask questions, pause, change direction, request adjustments, or decline any invitation at any time.

There is no expectation to perform, disclose more than feels appropriate, or experience the session in a particular way. We move at the pace that feels right for you.

First sessions often begin with a conversation about what brought you here and what you are hoping for. From there, we listen together for what would feel most supportive.
