The activities she incorporated were not only insightful on an individual level but also promoted team cohesion. Jodie’s seminar was a breath of fresh air, offering a perspective that goes beyond the typical hustle mentality.

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
Sachi Yasuda, Graduate Research. UOW
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
“It was a really good session! I loved the balloons exercise for obvious reasons – it was hilarious. The way she explained positive psychology made a lot of sense to me and the way she connected the dots between positive psychology and public speaking was particularly helpful.”
Nicola. CanTeen Australia
“Thank you for empowering me to understand why we humans behave the way we do.Your interactive workshop was one of the best I have attended and has provided me with some great tools for my business and personal life.”
Marian Golubic, National Operations Manager. Gemtek Pty Ltd
“Through the gentle and caring coaching I have received from Jodie I have been guided to clearly identifying what I want in my life and totally removing self-defeating thoughts. These thoughts are so powerless now I am no longer even able to recall them. I am confidently moving towards short-term and long-term goals. I am clear on where my personal happiness lies and on a daily basis enjoy the freedom of being at peace with me.”
Gabby Anchor
“The workshops were immensely informative and Jodie’s presentation style is always entertaining. The team were engaged and enthusiastic during both workshops and when we returned back to the workplace we found everybody had a new enthusiasm and confident attitude towards not only their work life but also their home life.
Jodie taught us invaluable skills regarding positive psychology which we will carry with us and draw upon our knowledge for many years to come.
Thanks again Jodie from the team at Leisure Coast Packaging & Hospitality Supplies.”
Christine Jones, Director. Leisure Coast Packaging
“Jodie is an absolutely wonderful coach! I have come to Jodie feeling vulnerable and her coaching sessions delves into positive psychology as well as self compassion and wellbeing. Jodie’s sessions has brought to light areas in my life that require attention and how we can use positive psychology to learn and uplift in times of feeling stuck. I recommend Jodie as a coach and I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to grow and learn with her coaching.”
Tiffany Karavsilis, Teacher. Port Kembla
“I attended Jodies Public Speaking workshop and took away so much. Jodie was able to turn something scary like public speaking and make it less daunting with actionable tools and frameworks to help you show up as your most authentic self and engage your audience with powerful content and connection.”
Kylie Jayne, Business Advisor. Enterprise Plus
“Jodie’s humanity shines through as a speaker and she is always warm, always funny, always thought-provoking and always engaging. Thank you once again for an inspiring address Jodie – always an uplifting experience!”
Carol Berry, General Manager. Warilla Women’s Centre
“Jodie presented to the leadership team of Illawarra Shoalhaven Family & Community Services and nailed it. Jodie has a depth of knowledge in leadership, positive psychology, mental health/wellbeing at work and self care. I would highly recommend Jodie to any work group, she was easy to communicate with when developing the program to suit our needs and responded to our questions and queries with care.
Jodie was able to present information and internal statistics in a manner which was engaging and thought provoking, whilst giving leaders pratical advice and implementation strategies as soon as they left the room. The workshop was also fun and the energy Jodie created in the room was remarkable. As Jodie says, ‘relationships and other people matter’ so to get the best out of your team and time I wouldn’t hesitate in using Jodie again.”
Rose McGoldrick, Manager Client Services Wollongong. Department of Communities & Justice
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for last week. Your presentation resonated so much with me and I loved your message and loved your vibe.”
Anna Price
“As soon as I took my business full time I knew I needed help. Jodie was able to help me unscramble what was in my head and organise how to get everything in a way that works for me to take control of my new adventure. Focusing on not only what I loved to do but also creating the best way I can make a profit out of it. Absolutely recommend Jodie, she makes you feel comfortable, relaxed and is professional. Love your work Jodie!”
Deidre Jones, Designer & Photographer. Dream Designs & Photography
This is the first time I’ve experienced seeing a Life Coach, so i really had no expectations. However I was greeted with a friendly dog and warm home that Jodie let me in to. I felt bad for throwing so much information at Jodie. But her sense of calm, working to collate the information and prioritize, had relieved me of a lot of stress. Being able to track and structure myself from what Jodie had taught me was so uplifting to see. Being able to see a physical result in myself really shows how much trust I could put in Jodie. I would definitely recommend to anyone! Thank you so much!
Angus Collective. Micro Entrepreneur
“I have been speaking publically for many years, but I still found Jodie’s course very beneficial. She taught me things I didn’t know that I didn’t know and I feel that my speaking skills and confidence has certainly improved. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in investing in themselves!”
Siria Thomas, Director. Northern Stars Swim School
“After one meeting with Jodie I felt empowered to achieve the outcome I had in mind, when previously I wasn’t sure I had the reach. Jodie’s seemingly effortless style drew out the best in me, integrated communication skills that have enriched my life and that I now carry into the future …one meeting! I unreservedly recommend Jodie as a Wellbeing Coach and Educator.”
Heather Chaplin, Community Wellbeing Advocate
“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 a wonderful presenter and coach! Jodie continues to give me life changing tips that have helped reduce overwhelm and raise well being. I love her positivity, and interesting facts that explain why we are the way we are, and practical tips to help lift mood. I can’t recommend Jodie enough! Love your work Jodie, Keep it up!”
Rel Vild, Director. Sheros
“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
“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
“Jodie was very engaging and authentic. Remembering the why and celebrating our success was a great team bonding opportunity.”
