Jodi has often been described as a leader with a big heart who lives with integrity and always finds ways to help others rise. In 2021, Jodi left her corporate job managing a law firm of 21 years to dive into guiding others through teaching meditation and mindfulness. She became a certified Meditation & Mindfulness Instructor through the McLean Meditation Institute, and is now the owner and founder of Big Heart Meditation and Mindfulness, LLC.
Compassion, love and kindness have been instrumental keys in Jodi’s success, and with her meditation and mindfulness teaching, she’s created a ripple of peace in the Midwest. She’s worked with college students on a weekly basis with in-person guided meditation for five semesters. She has also led several SEED (Simple, Easy, Every Day) Meditation courses to the faculty and staff at the collegiate level. She’s guided hundreds of college students in group meditations during their Freshman Seminar Series every year.
In athletics, Jodi works with several college teams and has merged her collegiate coaching experience of 12 years, with her meditation and mindfulness teaching to enhance their mindset for their performance/game. This includes hosting weekly recordings and group sessions with each team.
One of Jodi’s passions is going into the youth school systems teaching students and teachers about stress, how it affects the mind and body, and how to alleviate it through meditation/mindfulness.
Jodi offers free meditations on her Facebook page and offers guided meditations on Insight Timer.
