Meet Jodi Hershey
Hello and welcome!
I’m Jodi Hershey, and I’m truly delighted that you’ve found your way to J.O.Y Journey of You. Before you begin exploring everything we offer, I’d love to share a little about my own journey.
I earned my B.A. in Education from the University of Miami, specializing in Holistic Education. My passion lies in guiding both children and adults to reconnect with their inner joy their true selves. Working with children has always been especially meaningful to me; their honesty and openness inspire me every day.
My journey toward holistic teaching began unexpectedly. A dear friend once invited me to visit The Children’s Home Society, a refuge for abandoned and abused children. The experience was heart-wrenching seeing such innocent souls in pain left a lasting mark on me. I felt compelled to reach out, to remind them and parents everywhere of the transformative power of love. That inspiration led to my first book, “Thoughts to Consider with Love.”
In a beautiful twist of fate, years later I discovered that I had been adopted from that very same children’s home. Though I’d always known I was adopted and felt secure in the love of my family, learning this truth brought everything full circle. It was as if life itself was whispering: you, too, are loved.
As an educator, I encourage every student to discover and express their unique gifts to nurture not just their intellect, but their whole self.
After years of working in a high-stress environment, I developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which prompted me to move to New Mexico with my young son to focus on healing. This period became a profound turning point a time of introspection and deep spiritual growth. As I began to heal, I immersed myself in holistic practices: earning certifications in hypnotherapy (basic, advanced, and past life regression), studying herbalism and aromatherapy, and cultivating my own medicinal and vegetable garden. I also trained in crystal, sound, and color healing, all of which shaped my work as a holistic life coach.
As an intuitive, I sensed that the world was moving toward a time of great transformation. That insight inspired my most recent book, “The Call of the Day.” (Click here to learn more!)
Today, through my work at Journey of You, my mission is to support others on their personal paths of healing and awakening. I offer compassionate, personalized guidance to help individuals uncover their truth, embrace their light, and rediscover their JOY.
