Jodi's journey as a hairdresser spans over three decades, a career that began in a salon but eventually led her to the exciting world of theater on Broadway in NYC. Working behind the scenes on iconic shows like Hairspray, The Lion King, and Hamilton, Jodi found immense joy in styling hair for the stage. However, after 16 years in the theater industry, she felt the need for a change, something different but still within her passion for hair.
With determination and a desire for stability, Jodi transitioned to working in television and film, lending her talent to renowned networks like CBS, Netflix, and HBO MAX. Yet, her search for more meaning and purpose persisted, leading her towards a path that would merge her spiritual beliefs with her passion for helping others.
In 2018, Jodi embraced her spiritually minded nature and became a Reiki practitioner. Combining her skills as a hairdresser with the healing power of Reiki, she began assisting her clients in overcoming physical, mental, and spiritual ailments. The satisfaction she derived from helping others sparked her interest in learning additional modalities. In 2020, she took the leap and enrolled in the Jay Shetty Certification School, emerging as a certified life coach. Now, armed with both her hairdressing expertise and life coaching skills, Jodi helps her clients find wholeness and fulfillment by empowering them to embrace their true selves.
Throughout her journey, Jodi encountered moments where she had to choose between two paths - one of immediate reaction and the other of reflection and awareness. She admits to having experienced both approaches, but it was through mastering the art of reflection that she achieved personal growth. Lessons learned from her past marriage, which she realized had resulted from impulsive decisions, empowered her to form new and healthier relationships. This newfound wisdom led her to her current loving and enduring marriage with her second husband.
Jodi understands that the road to success and happiness requires patience, commitment, and trust in the process. She has come a long way from considering herself a victim to embracing growth, courage, and determination. Whenever she senses the temptation of victimhood, she reminds herself to focus on her inner strength and confidence.
Embracing her spiritual beliefs, Jodi learned to trust the process of life, filtering out thoughts and actions that did not serve her true self. She confidently faced her demons, understanding that growth often demands confronting challenges. Her journey has taught her that there is a solution for every obstacle, and with time, patience, and wise choices, she transformed into the best version of herself.
In 2020, Jodi took a bold step and founded her own business, "Restore You Coaching and Reiki." It was a decision she never looked back on, as it allowed her to merge her hairdressing expertise and healing abilities, empowering her clients to rediscover their authentic selves.
Today, Jodi is a living testament to the power of self-discovery, resilience, and transformation. She cherishes the hills and valleys she traversed along the way, knowing that each experience has shaped her into the remarkable individual she is today. Through her journey, she inspires others to embrace change, trust the process, and become the best versions of themselves.
