My GP recommended we see Jodie for some support as we were at our wits’ end. Our 11 year old son was refusing school, constantly angry and aggressive, swearing, not listening to a word we said, and he was addicted to any device. We honestly didn’t know what to do anymore. Surprisingly even after the very first conversation, things started to shift. We tried out a couple of simple things that were suggested and were shocked by how quickly we saw changes.
By the third or fourth session, it was like we had a different child. He we as calmer, more respectful, happy to go to school again, and Jodie even had him helping out around the house. Bedtime got easier, his sleep improved, and our whole home just felt more peaceful. We finally felt like we could breathe again.
As parents, we now feel more confident and way less reactive, and like we’re actually enjoying family life again. We’re so grateful for the support – we honestly can’t thank Jodie enough.

We have kids with ADHD and honestly, life just felt like a constant battle. Mornings were chaos, getting them to school was exhausting, homework was a nightmare, and even the simplest things – like asking them to do a job or go to bed – turned into huge dramas. It was taking a massive toll on our family, and my partner and I weren’t on the same page with how to handle it. There were a lot of arguments and so much tension in the house.
Working with Jodie completely changed everything for us. She helped us understand what was happening in our kids’ brains – and in our own – and that changed the way we approached everything. Instead of reacting out of stress and frustration, we started responding from a place of understanding and calm. And the shift was honestly unbelievable. Things started improving really quickly, and every single member of the family felt the difference.
Jodie is kind, funny and completely non-judgmental. We always felt safe to be honest, and even my husband, who was super hesitant about getting outside help, was on board after the first session. The changes we’ve seen have been lasting, and we finally feel like we’re a team again – both as parents and as a family. We’re so grateful and recommend Jodie to absolutely everyone we know.

I always knew my daughter felt things more deeply than other kids seemed to, and over time her big emotions became overwhelming for all of us. There were daily meltdowns over what seemed like the smallest things and we were all exhausted. Nothing I tried seemed to help.
Then I found Jodie. She helped me see my daughter in a completely new light – and also helped me understand what was happening for me in those moments when my daughter lost it, too. That insight alone was life-changing. Instead of trying to fix or stop the emotions, I started connecting with her in ways that actually worked. Her outbursts reduced, she started opening up to me more, and the energy in our home shifted from every day tension to mostly calm.
I finally feel like I’m getting something right with her – and I’m also way more compassionate towards myself. Jodie’s warmth, wisdom and the way she just gets it… it made all the difference. I’m so grateful to have found her.

A friend recommended Jodie and we were desperate enough to give it a go. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but right from the first chat, something shifted. Jodie explained what might be going on under the surface and gave us some really simple things to try. We gave it a shot, and to our surprise—it actually worked. Not overnight, but pretty quickly we saw changes.
There was less yelling. More talking. Some laughs, even. The walls started to come down. We felt like we were reconnecting again.
Jodie made us feel understood. No judgement, just real help. I wish we’d found her sooner.

Working with Jodie was a total eye-opener. She helped us see why our old ways weren’t working and gave us some really clear, doable changes to try. They weren’t always easy – mostly because we got in our own way – but once we started putting them into practice, things got so much better.
Our home is calmer, the kids are happier, and we actually feel connected again. Honestly, it just feels lighter.
If you’re struggling with anything in your parenting, go see Jodie. She’s a miracle worker. We’re so glad we found her.

A friend recommended Jodie when we were dealing with a bunch of things with our kids including school refusal, suspensions, and a host of behaviour problems. I was pretty desperate for something to work.
Jodie was amazing. My boys came into the sessions with me (individually) and I could literally see them shift in front of my eyes. She was amazing with them – so kind and validating and they responded so well to her. My little school refuser went back to school the following day and managed to go in most days for the rest of the term.
It was very comforting being in the sessions with Jodie because she didn’t talk at me or seem to judge, she was kind and calm and what she shared with me made so much sense.
We have a way to go as my kids needs are quite complex, yet the changes we experienced were immediate and powerful. She is a magician. I highly recommend her to everyone I can.
