Meet Jodie

Hi, I'm Jodie.

I'm passionate about creating spaces where people can slow down, reconnect and find greater balance in their lives.

Like many people, I've experienced the challenges of juggling work, family and the many demands of everyday life. As a working mum of two daughters, including raising a neurodivergent child, I understand how easy it is to lose yourself while caring for everyone else.

My own journey towards wellbeing led me to explore holistic practices that support both mind and body. What began as a personal search for balance has grown into Balanced Life - a place where people can reconnect through gentle movement, meaningful conversations and shared experiences.

Today, I facilitate Qigong sessions, wellbeing workshops and community experiences that encourage people to pause, breathe and reconnect with themselves, others and the natural world.

Alongside this work, I continue to work within the tertiary education sector, supporting research, student wellbeing and community outcomes. These roles continually remind me that wellbeing isn't something we achieve once - it's something we nurture throughout every stage of life.

Whether we're sharing a Qigong session, gathering for a workshop or simply spending time in nature, my hope is that every experience leaves you feeling calmer, more grounded and more connected than when you arrived.
