Case Study: Jodie Heffren - Refining and Amplifying Jodie’s healing retreat in the woods
The Work: Cultivating Growth and Transformation with Strategy and Systems
Meet Jodie, a compassionate Registered Nurse with over 17 years of experience, whose journey of healing and transformation led her to retreat to the serenity of the woods alongside her husband, also a first-responder, and their two young daughters. Nestled in the heart of the Blue Mountains, Jodie discovered solace and inspiration amidst the tranquil beauty of her 42-acre forest property, aptly named Rooted Woodland.
As the founder of Rooted Woodland, Jodie offers a variety of events and services aimed at nurturing holistic wellness and personal growth. At her woodland sanctuary, Jodie facilitates Contrast therapy sessions, inviting guests to experience the rejuvenating benefits of cold plunge and sauna amidst nature's embrace. Additionally, she hosts breathwork and personal development workshops, providing a space for individuals to explore inner healing and self-discovery.
Despite her clear vision and passion for creating transformative experiences, Jodie found herself grappling with the challenges of technology and the pressures of trying to help everyone who knocked on her door. As she sought clarity on the direction of her business, she realized that navigating the intricacies of tech and managing interpersonal dynamics were hindering her progress, leaving her feeling overwhelmed and stuck in the weeds.
In the midst of this journey, Jodie recognized the need for strategic support and guidance to steer her business towards its fullest potential. It was at this pivotal moment that she turned to Coworking Days, seeking the collaborative expertise and focused assistance needed to overcome obstacles and propel her vision forward.
