1on1 •Group •Programs-grounded therapy & growth-focused coaching I am currently working at Lifeline as a counsellor where I am met with a diverse range of individuals at varying levels of crisis, requiring effective strategies to help navigate challenges and find clarity in moments of distress. Background:
With over two decades of experience in entrepreneurship, leadership, and coaching, underpinned by a double degree in arts and education, I bring a unique blend of progressive leadership, human behaviour and mental health expertise. I spent 2 years teaching before my entrepreneurship resulted in founding and growing multiple businesses, mentoring 13 apprentices and nurturing a healthy workplace culture that acted as an incubator for young adults to develop self leadership. Adapting to the evolving landscape of mental health needs in the workplace, I transitioned to results and mindset coaching, earning accreditation with the International Coaching Federation. My commitment to ensuring psychological safety for clients during self-leadership exploration and prioritising evidence-based strategies inspired me to complete a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling, along with postgraduate training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Su***de Intervention, and Mental Health First Aid.

The power of saying yes to things 🙂 This was a rewarding morning working with the young girls who are part of the Girls Shed at TPS, helping them to learn more about all the parts of themselves

Often, therapy is the first place certain words land for some clients. The first place that story, those emotions, those memories are witnessed and held with care.

To be trusted in those moments — to witness and honour what is revealed — is at the very heart of this work, and is a privilege I will be forever grateful for.

We all have around 37 parts inside us — but usually only about 5 parts are running the show.
Those dominant parts might be your problem-solver, your people-pleaser, your inner critic, or your achiever — but what about the rest?

Resource Therapy helps wake up the others — so more of you gets a say, and more of you gets to live!

It’s like waking up the quieter voices within you — the creative part, the playful part, the self-compassionate part — giving them space and a chance to take the wheel 🚌 💥

🚌 Who’s driving your bus most of the time?

Is it the calm, clear-thinking part of you?
The part that knows your values and moves with intention?

Or is it the anxious one…
The perfectionist...

In Resource Therapy, we understand that different parts of us take the wheel at different times — Just because a part of you knows how to take control, or keep you safe, doesn’t mean it’s the one best suited to steer all the time 🫶🏼

Let’s Connect 🤝
Wherever you are, there’s a way to work together.

📍 In-person (Nelson Bay)
Feel the grounding presence of the therapy space. Great for those who value face-to-face connection and energetic attunement.
➖ May be less convenient if you’re juggling a tight schedule or live further away.

💻 Video sessions
Attend from the comfort of your own space, no matter where you are. Flexible, accessible, and just as effective.
➖ Some find screens can feel a little more distant or distracting at times.

📞 Phone sessions
Perfect if you want to walk and talk, stay off-screen, or simply focus on your words. Surprisingly powerful.
➖ Less visual feedback can be a drawback for some.

✨ Choose what feels right for you. The work is deep no matter how we connect.
DM or head to link in bio to book your complimentary pre-session call.

Everyone’s talking about “changing your life” — but real change doesn’t start at the surface.

Trying to force new habits or positive thinking without examining the beliefs underneath is like trying to build a house on sand. It might hold for a while, but eventually it crumbles.

Your beliefs shape your thoughts.
Your thoughts shape your words.
Your words shape your actions.
Your actions shape your habits.
Your habits shape your life.

So if you want to change your life — start at the foundations of self.

Ask: Where did this belief come from? Is it even true anymore? Is it mine or something I inherited?

🧠 Mini CBT Reflection Exercise

Write down a belief you hold about yourself (e.g. “I’m not good enough.”)

Ask: What’s the evidence for this? What’s the evidence against it?

Reframe it gently: “I’m learning to trust that I am enough as I am.”

Real change isn’t a quick fix — it’s a gentle undoing and a conscious rebuilding.

🧠✨ Social Media is not therapy. Let’s clarify.

It can feel like you’re getting support from following mental health pages, coaches, influencers(and yes sometimes you are getting insights). But scrolling is not the same as sitting in a safe, professional, confidential space designed for you to have a conversation with yourself.

As a therapist, it’s important for me to remind you:

👉 My content here is for education and marketing only.
👉 Following or commenting doesn’t create a therapeutic relationship.
👉 Therapy requires informed consent, ethical practice, and safety.
👉 Not all voices online are qualified to guide your mental health.

If you’re looking for therapy, I offer a pre-session call to see if we are the right fit to work together.

Take what serves you here and stay discerning as you care for your mind🧡

Feeling stuck isn’t always about what’s wrong with you —it’s often about what’s woven within and around you.Patterns, beliefs, values, and protective parts can quietly shape how we move through the world.In therapy, we gently unpick the knots—at your pace, within your window of tolerance—creating space to see these parts for what they are.The slower you go, the further you get 🫶🏼

Self-leadership isn’t a grind — it’s a practice.
A slow, curious turning-toward.
Noticing the patterns.
Catching the stories.
Softening the edges without losing your fire.

It’s not all shadow work and emotional deep-dives.
It’s also lightness. Laughter. Pausing to ask, “What do I actually need right now?”

The goal?
Not perfection.
Just more choice.
More breath.
More balance between heavy and light — approached with curiosity, not judgment.

This is the work that expands you from the inside out.
And it starts with one honest moment at a time.

Been waiting for the “right time” to start therapy?
Here’s your sign.

Therapy isn’t just for crisis — it’s a space to grow, reflect, and check in with yourself. You don’t need to be falling apart to benefit. In fact, doing the work while you’re well is one of the most powerful ways to maintain mental health.

Dip in and out across your lifetime. Build insight, strengthen your mindset, and stay connected to yourself — not just when things get hard, but always.

Hi I’m Jodi,

Hi I am Jodi, a Beauty Therapist, I hold a Bach Arts & Bach Teaching, I am a certified Trainer Assessor, I have completed 12 month Business Blueprint Coaching program. I built a salon from the ground up over 14 years, from a solo operator in a beauty salon. Growing to incorporate a hair salon and skin clinic with 18 team members and turning over more then a million dollars. This was in a small coastal town which was quite a feat! I had to be innovative and forward thinking to ensure staff retention, client loyalty, content growth year on year. I had to set aside any limiting beliefs I had and deflect any “nay saying” people around me. I have learnt so much from this 14 years experience and now would love to help small business achieve their goals, through affordable workshops, salon immersion sessions, culture coaching, and 1:1 mentoring.

I am passionate about the hair and beauty industry business, especially the startup and growth stages of business. My dream is to make coaching and mentoring available and affordable to the small salon businesses, solo operators (renting chairs and rooms) and startups. My dream client is the "little guy"... Startup salons, single operators renting rooms or chairs, salon, spa and clinic businesses under 8 employees Anyone who feels like business coaching or mentoring is out of reach. I'm here to show you it's not! I will mentor you through the process of Reshaping your business for success!

I understand that how people see success is very different. Perhaps success looks like being able to finish at 3pm everyday so you can spend the afternoon with the family. Or maybe it's a 4 day work week, or full time 'on' the business and not 'in' it. Possibly your renting a chair or room now but have a vision to own your own salon. My intention is to uncover what success means to you and mentor you to keep your compass aligned to your vision.

Contact me via email jodi@reshapementoring.com.au to arrange a free 20minute mentoring call.
