To honor myself, I had to walk away
Hey there. I’m Jodie – relationship and intimacy coach, and co-founder of Practical Intimacy. I help women to own, love, and enjoy their lives – and their bodies. And together with my husband Reece, I help couples to deepen the emotional connection in their relationship and sex life.
I’ve been involved in education, social science, and politics for the past 18 years, graduating from Griffith University in 2008 with a BA in International Relations, Asian Studies, and Politics, a Graduate Diploma in Education and Teaching in 2011, before transitioning from education into coaching in 2014.
I’ve since dedicated myself to the science of personal development, specialising in women’s coaching, relationship coaching, and sex coaching, earning certification in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and developing a unique approach to life and relationship coaching influenced by the work of Esther Perel, David Schnarch, Brene Brown, Julie & John Gottman, and a variety of modalities including Authentic Relating and Tantra.
