Artistry of Care
I provide relational support for parents and families navigating emotional stress, behavioural concerns, and family transitions, including separation and divorce.
My Work Is Grounded In
- Emotional regulation and nervous system awareness
- Attachment-informed relational support
- Child-centered, non-pathologizing approaches
- Collaboration whir schools and community professionals when appropriate
I support families in reducing reactivity, strengthening communication, and fostering emotional safety for children across home and school environments.
This work is non-clinical and non-legal in nature and compliments therapeutic, educational, and meditation-based supports.
This work is gentle, paced and responsive.
Any parents and caregivers I work with are carrying more than they realize-stress, grief, unresolved experiences, or the quiet exhaustion of holding things together for too long.
We stay with what is present, setting aside insight and change until a sense of safety has been established.
This includes:
- Respecting nervous system limits
- Moving slowly and collaboratively
- Understanding behaviour as communication
- Prioritizing regulation before resolution
Jody supports parents, families and practitioners, in cultivating relationships rooted in emotional safety, presence, and authentic connection.
You don’t need to explain everything or have the right words. We begin where you are.
With a background in Montessori education and years of experience working within family and school communities, Jody brings a grounded, relational approach to parenting support. Her work is shaped by both professional tailing and lived experience – parenting,
co-parenting, and walking alongside families through the realities of growth, change and repair.
Jody is a Connected Parenting Practitioner and is actively involved in the CP community. Her approach is informed by ongoing study in trauma-aware and compassion-based practices, including Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry, yoga, reiki, TaiChi and mediation.
