Growing up on a deer farm in New Zealand gave Jodi a love of outdoors and easy access to skiing and hiking. The Southern Alps were at her doorstep!

She studied ballet and jazz all through her childhood and teen, all the while driving tractors and motorbikes on the farm.

Starting with family trips and moving onto the backpacker scene, Jodi has travelled  in her 30 years. She took her hiking legs to Slovenia, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Croatia, among many other countries and continents.
After moving to the big smoke of Melbourne, Jodi started Pilates for fitness and to help her with running, which enabled her to complete the Melbourne half marathon. Pilates transformed both her mind and body so profoundly that she decided to start teaching. Since 2018, she has completed her Pilates certifications with Breathe and Tensegrity and is fully certified across all studio equipment, injuries and special considerations. 

Little known fact about Jodi: She has a twin brother named Billy who lives in Berlin, Germany.
