Jodi’s Career

Corporate

Jodi’s lifelong passion to understand the deeper truths of our human experience is the common thread that ties together her life’s work.

Jodi began her corporate career in the fashion industry, organizing shows for Italian designers (Salvatore Ferragamo, Ermenegildo Zegna and others) in New York City. Her success in marketing and event planning led her to organize a Grammy party for PolyGram Records (now Universal Music) and inspired a shift into the music industry. Jodi held various positions and was ultimately promoted to Vice President of Artist Development and Marketing for Verve Records. She cultivated relationships with internationally acclaimed artists and their managers, and directed the marketing and promotion of over 50 record releases a year. Jodi has also worked as a corporate career counselor for Hand & Associates, a management consulting firm serving clients in the entertainment industry such as Universal, Capitol, Priority, House of Blues and Virgin Records.

Throughout her career, Jodi was recognized for handling complex interpersonal and organizational situations with skill and insight. Though much of her career was in marketing, Jodi has always been most passionate about working with people on a personal level, from mentoring her staff as they developed their individual careers to supporting and coaching fashion designers, musicians and executives on their journeys to success and reaching their full potential.

Yoga

Jodi founded Shanti Yoga Studio in Whitefish, Montana in 2006 to spread peace, health and greater levels of self-awareness through yoga. She has been practicing yoga since 1994 and teaching for nearly two decades. Jodi was general manager of YogaWorks in Los Angeles, CA and created On-Site Yoga, a business which brought the principles and practice of yoga into the corporate workplace, including Boeing, City of West Hollywood, and The Standard Hotel.  Jodi co-created and led the first 200-hour Yoga-Alliance registered yoga teacher training program in Whitefish and travels internationally leading retreats and trainings. In both her teaching and personal practice, Jodi seeks to develop greater levels of awareness for living a deeper, brighter and more integral life.

Training

Jodi has an MA in Spiritual Psychology, a BS in Organizational Management, and certifications in Life and Career Coaching. She has attended hundreds of yoga and personal development trainings over the years. She has studied wisdom teachings, yogic philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and human development with master teachers in the U.S. and abroad.

Whitefish

With a bit of magic and serendipity, Jodi’s life path led her out of the corporate worlds of New York City and LA to the community of Whitefish, Montana, which she has called home since 2005. When not in her yoga studio teaching and coaching, Jodi can be found riding her bike up Going to the Sun Road, swimming in clear blue Montana lakes, and spending time with her friends, family and the love of her life, Jeremy. She is an active member of the Whitefish community, supporting a variety of local nonprofits and can be called upon as pet sitter at a moment's notice.

The whole of Jodi’s personal and professional experiences culminate in her role as a transformational life coach. She can’t wait to use all of her skills, gifts and experience in service to your path toward living the highest vision of your life.

“When we’re most completely ourselves, we’re most completely free of ourselves.”
