About Jodie Cooper
Positive Mental Health Coach & Educator
With a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology, Diplomas in Coaching and Executive Coaching, and a Degree in Commerce, I know how to help professionals get their heads in the right place.
Over 20 years I’ve worked with thousands of individuals and hundreds of organisations — giving them the mindset and skill set to move from overwhelmed and underperforming, to showing up with clarity, confidence and the capacity to make a difference.
I’ve written two books, have an insatiable appetite for learning, and if you’re looking for a coach who’s not just teaching wellbeing but really living it — let’s chat.
Happy Clients:
“I used to believe hard work led to success.
Now I know better."
Giving back
Working together really makes a difference.
I’m really passionate about giving back.
For each coaching client, training session or key note presentation delivered, I donate to a B1G1 initiative.
From giving goats to African families to buying blankets for homeless in Nepal, I love making the world a better place.
As a member of B1G1, together, we’re able to bring about positive change in communities across the globe.
It’s not just your wellbeing that improves through our positive mental health coaching or wellbeing training sessions.
We’re creating beautiful ripples all around the world.
The real Jodie Cooper
I always dreamed of building a business that makes a difference and gives me a beautiful lifestyle. Now I’m living it and am grateful every day.
I love training and speaking, but at heart I’m an introvert who recharges in nature. Surfing, hiking, snowboarding, climbing. If it’s outdoors and slightly uncomfortable, I’m in. My family are my people, we love an adventure, and yes, I am absolutely that mum singing with the windows down.
I’m not a perfectly polished wellness brand. My laundry pile is real, my hair is often a mess, and I’ve learned more from the hard seasons of life than any textbook. That’s probably why my work lands the way it does.
I’m passionate about what I do because I genuinely believe the world needs people like you, clear-headed, resilient and showing up, to lead positive change. That’s what gets me up in the morning. (Well, that and Oliver demanding to go to the beach.)
Three delightful years
we travelled around Australia with our family.
If you’re feeling like you’re dreams are out of reach, let me tell you, they are not.
In 2019 we packed up our lives, rented our home, and left for a lap around Australia.
When Covid changed our plans, one year became three and we proved to ourselves that anything is possible.
We met incredible people, rode camels at sunset, paddled past crocodiles, meandered though rainforests, explored caves, floated down rivers, gazed at the stars, trekked countless trails, swam with sharks, laughed around campfires and drank many, many cups of tea.
So my friend,
I know your dreams can come true too.

Positive Mental Health Coaching & Training Feedback
Maxine Meek. Blayney High School
“Jodie facilitated a wonderful and engaging session for our team, she presented some thought provoking concepts and encouraged us the challenge ourselves as individuals and a team. Thank you Jodie.”
Nicole Ryan, Workplace Investigations. Catholic Education Office
“Jodie Cooper is amazing & I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. My positivity, drive and focus have increased and my business and family have received the benefits. Thank you!”
Jodi Thomson, Director. Designer Staging Solutions
“I loved Jodie’s presentation on positive psychology. It was completely interactive and engaging. I took away some great tips for a positive mindset and business, especially the importance of connecting with our customers.”
Carli Phillips, Solutions Specialist. Ethicon
“Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with SASD over the past few months.
We have really enjoyed the sessions and are already thinking about the content and how we can work it in to our everyday.”
Kellie Ridges, Director. Student & Administration Services. University of Wollongong
“Jodie’s positive leadership course was insightful and motivating and I highly recommend to anyone needing a refresher or to reset or just starting out on their leadership journey. Thanks Jodie.”
Jo Vernon-Blom, Administrative Manager. UOW
“Absolutely loved having Jodie share her tips on rethinking wellbeing using a strengths based approach with my team of educators. A great way to start the year with a positive mindset.”
Larissa Lantouris, Director. Jerry Bailey Early Education Centre.
“I came to see Jodie at the start of my Honours year in a Bachelor of Psychology because I was aware that certain aspects of my lifestyle (e.g. time management) were limiting my potential at University. Jodie helped me to implement meaningful change in a number of areas of my life that helped me to stay on track throughout a very challenging year. Jodie played a big part in helping me achieve first class honours and the best thesis mark from any student under my honours supervisor.
The sessions were enjoyable and engaging and helped me look at life from a different perspective. It amazed me how making a number of small, yet powerful changes made such a difference. My family and friends recognised how consistently I was able to work throughout the year and how much my time management improved. Jodie was also very happy to provide assistance outside our structured session times to help me get through periods when balancing course and thesis work seemed too much to handle. I truly appreciate your help, thank you Jodie.”
Jordan Schaefer, Honours Student. University of Wollongong
“I’ve enjoyed working with Jodie over the last four months whilst I’ve been working through some challenging work/life changes. Jodie has challenged my processed and thoughts with questions and suggestions that have encouraged me to look at the Status Quo and see beyond to the possibilities.
Her gentle probing is more often than not completely on point and that has enabled me to work through the self-imposed blockages and restrictions that have hampered not only my thought processes but how I have limited myself in what I can and should do. The thought exercises she gives are provocative and for me encouraged some fairly deep thinking and self-reflection.
The results have been surprising (in the best possible way) and I am seeing long term positive benefits from engaging with Jodie.”
Bradley Ryan-Agnew, CFO. Ericom
“Jodie is fantastic! She helped us focus our attention on the things that were really important for our business and kept us on track!”
Erin Smith, Owner. South Coast Party Hire
“Many thanks to you, Jodie. Thank you for your patience and kindness over the last few months. I had no idea what to expect coming into these sessions but somewhere inside of me, I think I knew I needed some guidance in more personal areas, rather than professional, so I am really grateful that you picked up on what I needed to do.
Many thanks for all of your time and energy!”
Rachel Tolosa Paz, Philanthropic Researcher
“I have gained so much insight and inspiration from my sessions with Jodie. What an amazing, open and gorgeous woman! She has drawn the best out of me and helped me see the best in others and the world in general. Anyone who thinks their life can be better – It can be! So much I have worked through – I am truly a better Linda – with determination, vision and self confidence to boot! Not only is my life more positive, my mind feels as though it’s been opened to endless possibilities and my hands have been placed on the steering wheel of my life……… and I have gained an awesome friend too.”
Linda Brown, Wollongong
“I started seeing Jodie Mid October 2022. I had just ended a 3 year relationship. I felt I had lost my way, my identity, my motivation and needed guidance to get back on track. I felt comfortable with Jodie from the initial ‘get to know each other’ session.
Jodie is so knowledgeable and understanding and has really taken the time to get to know me deeply and guide me through difficult and confronting topics. I am gaining an understanding of how my brain works in different situations and continue to develop strategies to cope and work through things in a more positive and mindful way.
Jodie does check ins throughout the week to see how I am going or to offer encouragement and is always available if I have a question or I want to express my happiness of achieving a success or goal.
I would highly recommend Jodie to anyone wanting to explore ‘Positive Psychology’. It has had a profoundly positive affect on my life.”
Helen Grace, Specialist Educator
“We have had so much positive feedback from everyone who attended. We all learnt so much and the participants all feel so much better equipped to speak and give presentations.”
Jill Whalan. Director, Citylife Community Initiatives
“I am finding it way easier to speak in public now. I’ve hosted quite a few Information nights and I was speaking in front of 120 peeps the other day and that was completely unplanned and off the cuff. I’ve also joined Business Networking and I know I would have really struggled with all of these things if I hadn’t done your course. Thank you Jodie, you are so good at what you do!”
Alysia Samperi, Director. Life Wave
“Jodie Cooper was instrumental in assisting us with word-smithing a presentation that Modfab was giving at an international conference. Her expert advice and coaching was invaluable!”
Heike Roberts, Education Director. Modfab Pty Ltd
“I am so grateful having met you, I absolutely could not have done it with out your encouragement! You made me realise home truths about myself in a non-judgemental environment and that for me, has been critical as to how I conduct myself through the next phase of life.”
Sarah Tanti, Real Estate Professional
For the last twenty nine years, I am now aware that I have been psychologically ‘beating my self up’ due to many awful decisions I had made in my personal and business life. This was the worst possible impediment one needs when wanting to support a family, look after employees and the interests of shareholders. On one hand my self-belief, intuition, training and skills would propel me into endeavours that were impossible at worst or extremely difficult at best. I came to believe that only I could find the worst possible way to attempt a project or undertake a new venture.
I realised very recently that I needed some help to overcome some problems about the way I approached things that I could not define let alone understand, and that I needed help. Those readers of this testimonial who know me would certainly say, “Yes, you needed help!” I contacted Jodie Cooper and she was gracious enough, after I had completed her Introductory Questionnaire, to spend an hour with me in a FREE interview. Jodie was sufficiently astute to quickly recognise my problem – she provided me with the key to unlock the shackles that I alone had placed around my entire approach to life. In days my personal and business life has turned around with tangible results to demonstrate that change. I am now able to say I made one smart decision in my life. Dear readers, the only way you will learn Jodie’s secret solution to problems that I admit I had, and that you might have, is to contact Jodie and invest in one of her coaching programs.
Bruce, Professional Trader
“I recently attended Jodie Cooper’s “Public Speaking Course”… and all I can say is WOW! What I love the most about Jodie’s sessions is the positive mindset that you can’t help but walk away with. I am excited to reflect and build upon and the frameworks Jodie shared and walked away from the session feeling inspired and ready to tackle my upcoming public speaking responsibilities. So thank you Jodie for sharing your expertise and building my motivation and confidence to tackle my public speaking fears.”
Carlie Page-Quinn, Training & Development Officer. ECTARC
“I have had the pleasure of working with Jodie over the past few months. If you are looking for an inspirational, professional and motivating speaker I highly recommend Jodie for your next business conference. So motivating and from the heart.”
Tanya Creer, Digital Business Advisor. Southern Tablelands Media
