Fiction that speaks to your heart.
Coaching that supports the heart of your creativity.
Hello, I’m Jodie!
Author | Psychologist | Creative Coach
I help people reconnect with their inner wisdom—through the stories I write and the coaching I offer.
Over the years, I’ve worked in psychology practice, parenting support, organisational consulting, academic research, and school leadership. Each experience has deepened my understanding of how we grow, heal, and thrive -especially when we meet ourselves with compassion.
Discovering Internal Family Systems (IFS) was a turning point for me. After burnout and years of living with a relentless inner critic, IFS helped me understand what was happening beneath the surface -and relate to myself in a completely new way.
That insight now runs through everything I do.
As a writer, I create YA contemporary romance filled with emotional intensity, deep connection, and healing. Through storytelling, I gently introduce readers to the wisdom of their inner world because I believe the stories we tell ourselves can change everything.
As a coach, I support creatives to move through resistance, perfectionism, and self-doubt so they can bring meaningful work into the world with clarity and self-trust.
I live in Adelaide, Australia, on Kaurna land, with my husband, two kids, and two cats. When I’m not writing or coaching, you’ll find me reading novels, sipping tea, eating dark chocolate, or walking in the national park near my home..
What is IFS - and why does it matter to me?
Fiction and coaching grounded in compassion, clarity, and the courage to go within
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a powerful, compassionate way to understand our inner world.
It’s based on the idea that we’re made up of many parts - like the inner critic, the perfectionist, the people-pleaser, or the part that wants to give up. These parts aren’t flaws. They’re trying to protect us.
At the core of IFS is the belief that we also have a grounded, wise Self within us - one that can lead with clarity, compassion, and calm.
IFS changed my life. It helped me move through burnout, make peace with my inner critic, and relate to myself in a whole new way. That shift now shapes everything I do.
In my fiction, I explore the emotional lives of characters in ways that mirror our own inner dynamics - big feelings, conflicting desires, the search for healing and belonging.
In my coaching, I use IFS to help creatives move through inner resistance, reconnect with their creative voice, and make work that feels true and meaningful.
Whether through story or coaching, IFS is the thread that runs through it all - a compassionate, transformative way of coming home to who we really are.
