Welcome to the Healing Bower
I’m Jodie—intuitive healer, energy worker, and founder of The Healing Bower—and I’m so grateful you’ve found your way here. Whether you're seeking support through Reiki, Lomi Lomi massage, past life regression, or intuitive guidance, I’m honoured to walk beside you on your path of healing and self-discovery. In this blog post I share a bit of my own journey. I hope it resonates and inspires you to reach out—I'd love to hear your story too.
