From THE REFERENCE BOoTH
Those who have worked with Jody say
since I can remember I have had severe test anxiety, always telling myself ‘you just aren’t good at tests’. Talking to Jody on a weekly basis allowed me to learn new ways of thinking while always feeling supported. Jody helped me to develop a mantra I use to this day. I passed both tests the first time, I am a licensed therapist and a ‘great test taker’!! Thank you, Jody!!

““Jody’s experience as a therapist and supervisor is completely integrated into who she is, and it shines through in her coaching.”

““I’m forever grateful. I highly recommend Jody.”

““Setting goals has been incredibly helpful. I’m no longer overwhelmed.”

“Jody was able to help me tune into the core sources of my anxiety and give me immediate tools to use to eliminate the horrible feelings I was having. She was supportive, kind and insightful. I passed on the first try and I do not doubt for a single minute that having Jody coach me helped facilitate that process. I chose to invest my time, energy, and finances into passing the exams the first time, and I am so thankful I did. I would recommend her coaching to my closest friends and to anyone that wants to pass these exams. Thank you Jody, I hope you can help many more people the way you helped me.”
