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
Michael, Young Entrepreneur
“Jodie has given me the tools to manage stress and anxiety, and manage and priortise the ‘to do list’ without stress. Jodie’s given me ideas on how to communicate with my children better. My husband had noticed a big difference in my stress and anxiety, I’m more relaxed now. Coaching has enabled me to view my life in a more positive light.”
Kelly, Business Owner and Parent
“When I initially started coaching with Jodie, I was unsure of the direction I should take my business in which started impacting my mood. Upon completion of the program I am happier than ever and have a 12 month plan of how I will achieve my goals. Thank you Jodie.”
Erin Watt, Director. HER Property Co
“Your Public Speaking course helped me to structure my speech really well. Everyone was laughing at the first line, which was my intention and made me feel at ease. I got them hook line and sinker! NO NOTES OR ANYTHING!! WOW! I felt so good!!”
Shaz Harrison-Shaw, CEO. Need-a-feed
“Jodie offered really practical solutions to assist with confidence, connecting with others and moving outside of comfort zones. I think it would be great for the team to do a refresher down the track.”
Workshop Participant, Rare Cancers Australia
“Jodie has the ability to transform, lead and coach her audience to appreciate and feel good about what she is presenting. She’s a breath of fresh air and delivered an engaging, relevant, and inspiring event to our online audience. We finished the event feeling energized, in a positive frame of mind and with a big smile on our faces. The audience’s comments support her charming personality: “The best webinar I have attended. Jodie was fantastic and absolutely enjoyed her presentation and plenty of take-home moments. Thanks for putting this on during such a difficult year.”
Tom OKeeffe. Chairperson Third Age Group. CPA
“Perfectly pitched session, perfectly timed and positive feedback from all the team who attended. Would highly recommend.”
Matthew Perry, Director. Graduate Research, UOW
“My sessions with Jodie are always amazing. They are specifically targeted to my needs and Jodie is extremely flexible. Jodie has a positive encouraging and reassuring nature, and her delivery of the original coaching sessions and now regular sessions certainly makes me feel comfortable and supported. Jodie has given me the confidence to now move forward with my goals and challenges. I highly recommended Jodie and I will certainly be staying connected.”
Ms R, Specialist Support Coordinator
“Jodie has delivered numerous positive psychology workshops at iAccelerate and the feedback from participants has always been great and I really enjoyed the opportunity for self-reflection that the workshop provided.”
David Malins, Programs Coordinator. iAccelerate
“In hindsight, I wish we had met years earlier. The changes I have adopted from my time with Jodie have been fundamental and profound. It was like someone had pulled back the curtain to help me see a bigger picture, a picture with more clarity, a wider angle, resulting in a better way to communicate and enjoy my life. I am very appreciative for the experience I have gained. Through the various methods and tools Jodie employs, we tackled some often complex and difficult issues both close at heart and those purely business in nature.
I would describe Jodie’s service delivery as professional, courteous, well structured and highly defined. Jodie has the ability to qualify and define causation of issues; no matter how complicated they seemed to me. Once defined, resolution was arbitrary. If you believe there is room for improvement in any area of your life, make a start, make the change in direction and let yourself, your family and your business benefit from the overwhelming improvement. The only ingredient we must bring to the table is commitment to change. “If you continue to do what you’ve always done, you will continue to get what you’ve always got.” Christopher Howard. Don’t wait another week to make the changes necessary for a better quality of life. Life is short; make it the best it can be.”
David Reed, Entrepreneur and Investor
“I was coached by Jodie on her Positive Psychology program and absolutely loved it. Even years later, I still practice a lot of what Jodie taught me – I can’t recommend working with her enough!”
Kachina Dimmock, Content Collective Co
“Public speaking is no ones favorite thing so I was nervous and unsure of what would be expected of me. I was pleasantly surprised. Jodie made it a safe and supportive environment and we were given permission to try and fail, but we all succeeded. It was a great experience and I would recommend this program to anyone and everyone. There is a sneaky bit of personal growth here so its worthwhile on so many levels.”
Tracey Wilson. University of Wollongong
“I learnt so much from your presentation and have taken many of the tips on board. The presentation was just amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed the style of presentation, which was very relaxed, informative and in a comfortable space.”
Alfred Chidembo. Ph. D. Founder. Aussie Books For Zim
“Before I started working with Jodie I felt a little lost, I didn’t have any real purpose and generally lacked motivation. Jodie helped me to see things differently and now I’m coping with stress much better and am learning to be kind to myself when things don’t go to plan. After three months, I’m now feeling motivated, optimistic and on the right track again. It’s definitely been a great investment.”
Tamara, Busy Executive
“You absolutely nailed the presentation, thanks for calling me beforehand and asking just the right questions to really understand this group. In the evaluations your presentation was rated so highly –you were the highlight of the course.
I’m so glad you presented early. We just kept referring to everything you said. You were so generous with your stories and knowledge, you were a brilliant investment. Once again, thanks so much. I think that what you presented will make a real difference to the people who attended. You gave them strategies, insights, humour, tips and more. A thousand thank yous.”
Kristina Dodds, Program Coordinator. Motor Neurone Disease Association of New South Wales

“Jodie is a fantastic coach and trainer. Jodie recently helped to prepare for a presentation for a conference and I don’t know that I could have done it without her. She really helped me to break done the concepts into simple chunks, explain my story well and helped me to speak confidentially at the conference.”
Danica Vujic, Executive Assistant. Peoplecare
