Jodie Baker | Free Yourself
🌿 Counsellor & Somatic Practitioner helping women with anxiety, relationships, life transitions and emotional overwhelm.

NDIS participants welcome. Parkdale, Bayside Melbourne & Online Australia-wide. Book a session ↓ Like many, my past has been filled with ugly moments and deep trauma. As a child, I faced sexual abuse, followed by toxic relationships where my partner's addiction became the catalyst for me leaving and stepping into the challenging role of a single mum to two young children. In my late 20s, while juggling motherhood, I secretly struggled with debilitating panic attacks. Fearful of being seen as anything less than a strong, independent woman, I kept my suffering hidden. But hiding from the truth couldn't last forever. The weight of it all became unbearable, and I sought help to break free from the spiral I was in. I vividly remember going to my doctor, only to be told, "It’s all in your head." While that phrase stuck with me, I was left confused, with no tools or guidance on how to change what was happening inside me. Thankfully, fate intervened, and I found a healer who would shift my world in ways I never imagined. Over the next 20 years, I committed to peeling back the layers of pain and releasing the limiting beliefs that had held me hostage for so long. Each session, each breakthrough, helped me reclaim a part of myself that I had lost to trauma and fear. One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is the importance of trusting my intuition and silencing the external noise. I stopped seeking validation or direction from others and began to recognise that the answers I needed were always within me. This realisation led me down a completely different path—the path I was always meant to walk. Suddenly, everything clicked. After a lifetime in the corporate world, I found the courage to leave that life behind. I embraced my journey fully, listening to my heart and soul, trusting that I was on the right path. And that journey has led me here—to a place where I can help others through their own healing, transformation, and empowerment. Now in my 50s, I am filled with gratitude for every part of my journey. I am finally living life by my own rules, continuing to grow, heal, and make the most of each day. And through my experiences, I’m here to guide others to do the same—to find peace, to release what no longer serves them, and to embrace the life they truly deserve.

I came across this video while clearing out some storage today.

It took me straight back to a weekend in Halls Gap.
The weather was cold. Wet. Miserable.

And if I’m honest, there was a big part of me that didn’t want to go.
“I don’t really feel like walking in this.”
“It’s going to be miserable.”
“Let’s just stay in.”

But we went anyway.

We explored.
We walked to a waterfall.
We connected.
And it ended up being one of the best weekends.

This rainbow felt like a little wink from the universe.

A reminder that sometimes the best memories sit on the other side of resistance.

On the other side of “I don’t feel like it.”
On the other side of old beliefs about what we think we want.

Sometimes we hold ourselves back from beautiful experiences because they don’t look perfect at first.

But life isn’t always about perfect conditions.
It’s about showing up anyway.

What might be waiting for you on the other side of “I don’t feel like it”? 🌈🤍

For so long, many of us were taught that being kind meant staying quiet.

But kindness doesn’t require self-sacrifice.

When you learn to respect yourself, your boundaries become clearer, your words become steadier and your energy becomes calmer.

Empowerment isn’t about overpowering others.
It’s about honouring yourself.

You can be strong and compassionate at the same time.

I never really chose the woman I became.
Life chose the road, and I simply learned how to walk it.
Whatever was needed in the moment…
that’s who I became.
Whatever role the storm called for…
I grew into it.
Mother.
Sister.
Partner.
Friend.
Mentor.
Protector.
Provider.
Survivor.
I have been all of them, sometimes all at once.
It was never about what I wanted in those moments.
It was about what had to be done.
And I did it.
Every single time.
No questions or hesitation.
There were days I had no idea how I would make it through.
Days when the path ahead looked impossible.
But somehow, I always found a way through it all.
People looked to me for strength.
For courage.
For fire when their own flames burned out.
And even when I felt like I was barely holding myself together,
I became what the someone needed.
I won’t pretend the journey has been easy.
There were battles that nearly broke me.
Nights when the weight of everything felt too heavy to carry.
But I carried it anyway.
Because that’s who I am.
I will never claim to be fearless.
Or flawless.
Or faultless.
But I will always be real.
Honest.
Authentic.
When I love, I love with my entire heart.
There is no halfway in anything I do.
Passion runs through my veins like wildfire.
And when love is present, I give it everything I have.
I have many roles.
Many responsibilities.
More than most people ever see.
But I’ve learned something powerful through every storm.
I am capable of more than I ever imagined.
The fires that once threatened to consume me
now fuel the wings that help me rise.
Not every plan worked out the way I wanted...
Some roads twisted or broke,
Some paths collapsed beneath my feet.
But somehow…
I always found my way again.
I protected the people who needed protecting.
I was there when no one else was for some...
I fought battles for those who couldn’t fight for themselves.
I became a woman shaped by the darkest nights...
a soul forged in flame, strengthened by every trial that tried to break me.
But through every role I have carried…
every storm I have weathered…
there has always been one part of me that mattered most.
The survivor.
She is the one who refused to let me stay down.
The one who who found the strength when I thought I had none left.
The one who lifted me up every time I fell.
And no matter what life brings next,
she will always remain the most powerful part of who I am.
Because as long as I need her…
she will always be there for me.
Strong and surviving.

Limiting beliefs are often quiet.

They sound like old stories we’ve carried for a long time.
“I’m not enough.”
“It’s too late for me.”
“This is just how life is.”
“I have to keep going, even when I’m exhausted.”

Most of the time, we don’t even realise we’re living from them, until life starts to feel heavy, restricted or smaller than it needs to be.

Breaking free doesn’t mean forcing positive thoughts or pushing harder.

It starts with awareness.

With gently noticing the patterns, the narratives, the inner rules you’ve been living by.

And then asking: Is this belief actually true… or just familiar?

When you begin to understand what’s driving you from the inside, choice opens up.

Space opens up.

Change becomes possible... without pressure.

What belief are you ready to loosen your grip on? 🤍

Can Flower Essences Support Hormonal & Emotional Balance?

Balancing hormones can be exhausting and emotional, especially through perimenopause, menopause or PMS.

🌺 Many women find that specific Essences help them feel calmer, more centred, and emotionally supported by working with emotional patterns that show up alongside hormonal shifts.

✨ If you’re feeling overwhelmed or out of sync, let’s uncover a blend that supports you — message me to book your free consultation.

We all get lost at times.
Life can feel heavy. Confusing. Harder than we expected.

In those moments, it’s easy to question ourselves or lose momentum.

This affirmation has been helping me lately:

I can handle anything that comes my way with confidence and grace. 🙌🏻

It doesn’t mean everything feels easy.
It means I trust myself to move through it.

Some days that’s all we need... a reminder that we are stronger than the wave.

If this resonates, hold it with me today 🤍

The house feels different.
Quieter.
Slower.

At first it might feel like freedom.
And then… it can feel lonely.

When you’ve spent years caring, organising, worrying, holding it all together, suddenly there’s space.

And sometimes that space feels uncomfortable.

Being alone with your thoughts.
With who you are now.
With what’s next.

So you pour a wine.

One becomes two.
Two becomes a bottle.
Not because you’re weak
but because you’re trying to soften the ache.

Trying to quiet the noise inside.
Trying not to feel the shift.

This season of life is huge,
It’s a transition.

But transitions stir up identity, purpose, grief and sometimes a quiet loss of who you are beyond “mum.”

If this is you, hang in there.

You just be in the middle of redefining yourself.

And you don’t have to numb your way through that.

You can learn how to sit with yourself.
How to rebuild connection inward.
How to find steadiness without escaping the feeling.

Empty doesn’t mean finished.
It means space for something new.

If this resonates, reach out.
You don’t have to navigate this chapter alone 🤍

You can book a session via my website or send me a message to start the conversation.

Sometimes awareness is the first step back to yourself.
I’d love to hear your story 🤍

Six years ago, I said yes to doing my own work and it changed everything.

People sometimes see the modalities.

The qualifications.
The certifications.
The titles.

What they don’t always see is that I didn’t just study them.

I lived them.

Over the past six years, I’ve immersed myself in:

• counselling
• trauma-aware approaches
• somatic and nervous system work
• EFT tapping
• NLP and Time Line Therapy
• intuitive development
• reiki and energy work
• breathwork
• mindset and belief change

Not to collect certificates.

But to understand, firsthand, what actually creates change.

I’ve sat in the client chair.
I’ve done the uncomfortable work.
I’ve regulated my own nervous system.
I’ve shifted my own limiting patterns... well not all of them, that's a work in progress!

And because of that, I know what works.

I know what creates insight.
What creates relief.
What creates sustainable change.

It’s not one magic tool.

It’s the right tool, at the right time, for the right woman.

That’s what experience teaches you.

Six years ago, I started this journey for myself.

Now I use everything I’ve learned to support you.

And I wouldn’t change a single step 🤍

Happiness isn’t always a big moment or a future goal.

Sometimes it’s quiet.
Easy to miss.
Already here.

It can be found in small things... a breath that feels a little deeper, a moment of calm, a smile, a sense of relief.

We don’t always need to chase more.
Sometimes we just need to slow down enough to notice what’s already present.

Let this be your reminder today to pause… and notice.

What’s one small thing bringing you a sense of ease right now?

27/02/2026

When you’ve been carrying too much for too long, pushing harder isn’t the answer.

What heals isn’t effort, it’s safety.
Being understood.
Being supported.
Being held, emotionally and energetically.

If you’re exhausted, it doesn’t mean you’re weak.
It means you’ve been strong for a long time.

Let this be your reminder today:
you don’t have to do it all alone.

Free Yourself - Essential Oil Wellness

Hi I’m Jodie

I have studied many wellness and healing modalities over the years including Aromatherapy, Reiki, Kinesi-Crystal Therapy and Reset, and l am also active in wellness groups, including a mediumship group, and l use my intuition coupled with research to guide me when creating each of my blends.

I believe that nature plays a huge and important role in our wellness and we can only benefit from anything that comes from the earth. Our bodies and emotions grow and heal with thanks to what the earth provides and essential oils are a gift which come from various parts of flowers and plants and are known to be beneficial to us in so many ways.

I started my Melbourne based business to bring a natural alternative to those who seek it. I source local products where possible and hand pour all of my essential oil products, using top quality, natural ingredients and 100% pure essential oils only so the therapeutic benefits stay intact.
