All classes taught with trauma-informed philosophy in mind. It is very common for body-based teachers to offer hands-on adjustments to help students with alignment and form. With trauma-informed philosophy in mind, Jody offers only affirmative adjustments and NO corrective, hands-on adjustments, finding that many visual cues can be given without physically having to touch the student. Permission is always gained before affirming adjustments are made. She also uses doTerra essential oils in her classes, and again, permission is gained before application.

Rooted & Reaching Embodied Care & Spiritual Guidance
Rooted & Reaching Embodied Care: Integrated Spiritual Direction and Caregiving for Mind, Body, Spirit & Soul is a unique combination of embodied spiritual direction / guidance, embodied prayer, and faith-based somatic therapy—all with a body-focused, trauma-informed and Christ-centered perspective. With over two decades of experience in both ministry and body-oriented work, Jody works within a small group format to live fully-embodied and whole-hearted lives.
