Jodi has worked as a doula and childbirth educator for 13 years with a focus on the intersections between trauma histories and the experiences of women during the childbearing years. Since 2002 she has been employed in both residential and clinical settings as a full-time Woman Abuse counsellor, providing counselling as well as facilitating groups for women whose children have been exposed to their abuse, and groups for children who are coping with the impacts of witnessing the abuse of their mothers. Jodi has a certificate in crisis intervention from Fanshawe College and an Honours Degree in Women's Studies from The University of Western Ontario (UWO). She is currently a second year doctoral student at UWO completing her PhD in Health Professional Education. She is the research coordinator of a Canadian Institute of Health Research funded study, entitled "Embodied Trauma: The impact of trauma on the transition to mothering", and a research assistant assessing the health related needs of women on probation.
Jodi's unique combination of skills from both the birthing community and the Violence Against Women sector has spurred a high demand internationally for her workshops aimed at informing other medical and allied health and social service professionals around the complex issue of trauma and the childbearing years. She was recently a guest presenter at The National Summit to Ensure the Health and Humanity of Pregnant and Birthing Women in Atlanta, Georgia, and provided specialized training in Vancouver at the Canadian Prenatal Nutrition Program's provincial conference Celebrating the Health of Our Children, Families and Communities. In May she will travel to South Africa where she has been invited to speak at The Sensitive Midwifery Conference on the topic of birth related trauma.
