About Jodie:

I have had a various careers in my lifetime.  I have a degree in Music Education and I am a cellist.  I also spent over 20 years working in the corporate world in accounting fields.  I am a married mother of two, with two cats in the house as well.  Massage therapy was a mid-life career change for me that I absolutely love!

Here’s what lead me to a career of massage therapy:  In March 1998 I was involved in a car accident which left me with a whiplash.  My doctor wanted me to take pills (muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories)  and sit and do nothing.  That method didn’t work for me.  Anyway, when can a working mother of two sit and do nothing.  I was in terrible pain.

Through a friend I was introduced to Reiki, a wonderful energy healing method, which, after my first treatment, allowed me to get my first good night’s sleep in the months since the accident.  I was intrigued by this energy work and had more treatments and eventually became a Reiki practitioner myself.  Reiki changed my life in so many positive ways.

During this time I also made my first visit to a chiropractor and received my first massage.  All these wonderful things helped to get me back to normal within a few weeks.  I don’t think I would have ever recovered with just the taking of the pills my doctor prescribed.

When the company I worked for decided to move its corporate headquarters to another city I knew I would be looking for a new job soon.  Through many series of events, and, I believe, some divine intervention, I was lead down the path of attending massage therapy school.  It was very scary to start something new in middle age but I new I was doing the right thing.  I still know it is the right thing now that I have started my practice.

Peace be with all of you,

Jodie
