HI, I’m Jody, a wife of 24 years, mom of 2 great kids and 2 cats and I’m a Pacific Northwest native. I have lived many places but I absolutely love living in Portland, OR.

I have a degree in Human Development and Family Sciences, spent 16 years in full-time ministry, have been a business owner for almost 10 years now and one of my greatest joys is walking with others through life to help them become the best versions of themselves.

After the pandemic I was certified in mental health coaching and have continued to see the need for support in grief and loss. I found the best way to do that was with the Grief Recovery Institute so I went on to be certified as a Grief Recovery Specialist. It’s been transformation for me to have gone through the method for myself and I’m excited to offer this to others.

From a young age I experienced a lot of death of family and friends, health struggles, close family members dealing with addiction, infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, severe scoliosis treatment with a child, loss of trust in others, church and institutions, and unhealthy relationships. Those losses have shaped who I am and given me the ability to sit with others in their times of grief and loss as well.

We all experience grief and loss, it’s a universal experience. Unfortunately navigating through grief and loss is rarely done well in our culture which leads to more difficulty in relationships, our ability to enjoy life and even impacts our health. Having the tools to do these well is a must.

Helping people navigate these things is a passion of mine. Seeing lives transformed never grows old. 

I am currently offering one-on-one grief support. To schedule a free 15 -minute consultation, please email me at [email protected] or head to my website at jodymccomas.com
