Lightning Process Testimonials
“The LP was a way to look forward and in that moving forward I found the girl I used to be.”
I had chronic fatigue for 38 years and was incredibly fatigued and in a lot of pain every day. It had progressed to the point where for the last 7 years, I couldn’t get out of bed. For example, if I was doing the laundry I would wash the clothes, lay down and wait a few hours then move the clothes to the dryer.
I heard about brain retraining through a podcast and then found a YouTube video where Jodie was interviewed. The way she spoke about the LP and her general manner really resonated with me and I felt I could trust her. After a few calls together, this trust grew, and I signed up for a group LP seminar.
I really enjoyed the 3-day course. It was very easy to understand, follow and work through. One of the aspects that really appealed to me was that I didn't have to go back and dredge up my past. I’m 60 and have already spent a lot of time doing that. This was more a way to look forward and in that moving forward I found the girl I used to be.
During those 3 days I immediately shifted away from the jetlag, severe hangover type feeling I’d had for so long and within a week of the seminar when a friend of mine was moving, I heard myself say, ‘Oh I'll come pack up your kitchen for you!’ and I did it and did it happily! The physical and emotional shifts were clear to see.
In the following weeks I had to learn how to get back into life again. For example, after almost 40 years, I had to work through some stress issues and social interactions. But I called Jodie, and she really helped. I started to feel good being around people again. It wasn't laborious, it wasn't pushing. It was just lovely conversations with friends once more.
What I really appreciated was that Jodie was consistently there for me after the LP. I felt I could call and ask any questions and that she was underneath me, supporting me. Jodie is very intentional in the way she teaches the LP and in her role as a coach. She is very warm and welcoming. I felt like I'd found a sister who understood where I was coming from and who gave me love, support and care in a way that most of the professionals I’d seen over the past 38 years hadn’t.
On a separate note, I am a conservative Christian, and whilst there is no religion in the process, I was able to walk in my faith through the entire journey. Nothing we did in the LP contradicted or went against my beliefs.
Now my CFS/ME is gone and I haven’t had to push myself since. I’m so grateful to Jodie and highly recommend taking the LP with her.

“I am grateful to Jodie & the LP for changing my life & bringing me out of a deep pit of darkness.”
“I contracted COVID 19 in January 2021 as a 32yo healthy, lively and energetic woman. As the weeks passed, I was trying to recover but soon my life became a nightmare. I was forced to move back in with my parents where I became housebound. I couldn’t stand for longer than 20 minutes without the symptoms overtaking me.
I had a heaviness on my chest and back that cannot be described and would restrict my ability to breathe, speak and physically function. I had pain in my feet while standing and pain in the skin of my hands whenever I would touch something. The severe depression and anxiety that ensued spiraled out of control and I had brain fog. I could make a very long list of all the symptoms I had. I went to doctor after doctor and nothing they offered helped much.
When I took the LP training with Jodie, she walked with me through my darkest fears of never recovering and being stuck this way the rest of my life. She made me feel safe, cared for, inspired, empowered, and gave me a hope that shined brighter than my fear.
I had to work at the LP consistently, day in and day out. I watched my body and mind go from strength to strength each week as I used the LP to grow my confidence, stamina, wellbeing, strength and hope. My family noticed a difference in me during the seminar and said I seemed like myself again. Of everything I utilized to heal and recover, the LP gave me the fastest results and the most relief.
I am proud to say that within 2 weeks of doing the LP I went out for a long dinner. A few months later, I moved back into my apartment to live independently. And a couple of months after that, started full time back at work in person.
My mental health is better now than it's been in decades. I am sleeping well each night. No more post-exertional malaise. My body feels much more comfortable and lighter. I am thankful and proud that I can now say I AM WELL.

“Doing the LP seminar with Jodie was (and I don't say this lightly) life changing.”
Rebecca on her new Peleton
I feel like a different person today than I was a year ago. I had been suffering with virus (mononucleosis) induced CFS for a couple years, and severely for about 6 months before taking the Lightning Process with Jodie. During those dark days, I had very little energy and constantly felt like I was stuck on day-one of the flu, unable to do the things I love like golfing, socializing or working out.I often suffered from "crashes" and any form of exertion or exercise would be followed up by days on the couch. I also struggled with heavy brain fog, which made it difficult/impossible to make it through a work day without sneaking out for a nap. I truly think things got worse for me once I was officially diagnosed with CFS and began reading online info/support groups for others suffering. There wasn't a lot of hope for recovery, at least not in the short term, and the more I read the worse I felt.
One day I saw a comment from another LP student which peaked some interest. My first instinct was that she must have not had CFS because you can't recover quickly from it (or so I had read), and so I brushed the idea of doing the LP off. However, when all my other tests came back with a clean bill of health, it made me give a second thought that perhaps I needed to approach my recovery in a different way, looking at things more holistically and how the mind-body connection may be playing a part.

Doing the LP seminar with Jodie was (and I don't say this lightly) life changing. The course environment was a safe place to discuss what I had been experiencing without judgement or fear. Jodie is very empathetic and taught specific tools and techniques to overcome my challenges and to understand that what I was feeling didn't define who I was. She perfectly played the role of coach in offering support, yet being firm when she caught anyone in the group slipping back into old ways and was ready to guide us back to the right path.
My thoughts and actions are geared towards living a life I love and that has spilled over into all aspects of my life, aside from just my health. After the first day of the seminar, I did an at home workout for the first time in six months. Within one month of doing the LP, I purchased a Peloton and from the day it arrived I never let a ride go by without feeling grateful for my recovery, Jodie and the LP. I have learned so much about the mind-body connection through this experience and I would encourage anybody who is suffering from chronic illness to consider the role your mind plays in your health journey.

“I have never felt more present, in-tune, and ‘whole’ in my life.”
“My friend had taken the LP a few years ago and recommended I try it as I was dealing with Long-Covid. I had 3 calls with different LP coaches, but I knew right away that Jodie was the perfect fit for me.
Day 1 of the seminar I felt super confident and engaged. Day 2 was trickier as I was experiencing resistance and an influx of symptoms. By day 3 I was feeling grateful for Jodie's support and the tools I had gained, but unsure how I would make it on my own. I practiced the LP daily, it was not an easy journey, but I stayed diligent and tracked every single small win.
Then, one day I woke up and realized that things felt easier. I was no longer focusing on symptoms, but on my wins, on the good things all around me. It's as if I surrendered into the journey knowing it was all going to be ok, and it was from then on, that slowly symptoms melted away.
The LP served as the foundation for my healing journey. It was exactly what I needed to realize that how I was treating myself, and my symptoms was not conducive to the healing I desired. The LP changed my relationship to 'self', I could feel my heart opening and I became compassionate, kind and felt a lightness I was missing for a long time.
Beyond healing from Long Covid, the LP made it possible for me to see the areas in my life that weren't working and helped me identify past traumas that were showing up in the present. The tools gave me enough of a stride that I could eventually engage in EMDR, somatic practices and meditation with more ease. I saw myself letting go of fear, trusting my body, and even gaining a new sense of confidence in the world.
My healing journey continues as I heal parts of my past, but I am more alive now than I've ever been. It's hard to put into words exactly, but the other day I was chuckling to myself reflecting on the past 6 months. They have been some of the most challenging for me to date, and yet, I have never felt more present, or in-tune, or ‘whole’ in my life.
Jodie guided me after the LP seminar through some wonderful highs and deep lows. She has a kind, patient, and supportive way of making people feel seen and heard, whilst at the same time, reminding us that it is SO possible to heal. I am eternally grateful for the guidance Jodie has given me, and I still turn to her in moments when I need an alternative perspective or a push in the right direction. I can't thank her enough.
Leaning into discomfort and creating the life you want, is one of the greatest discoveries the LP gave me. The biggest wins come from being open, curious and knowing that our authentic selves are always there, we just need to nurture them again.”

“In the year since I learned the LP, I’ve become a leader in my field, a person hundreds of others look to as an example of happiness and resilience.”
“When I discovered the Lightning Process and Jodie’s coaching practice, I’d been struggling with CFS for 15 year —since I was 12 years old—and had experienced additional Long Covid symptoms for over a year. I spent nearly all my time in bed and had no energy to do the things I loved. I was unhappy, afraid, and dependent on others for support in even the most basic tasks. When my mother became reliant on me after Long Covid left her disabled, I knew I had to find a way to get my health back so I could help her. I thought I had already tried everything, until I found my way to Jodie’s wonderful Instagram account.
Everything I found out about the LP rang true for me—it was a pure example of a simple, logical pathway to health. I had found the missing piece I’d spent over a decade looking for. I signed up immediately to learn the Process with Jodie and by our third day, I had the tools to function as any able-bodied person. For me, the Lightning Process has been the difference between a life of pain and despair and a life of peak physical and psychological performance.
Jodie was the perfect coach and teacher: no-nonsense, but also gentle and fun. My time working with her was some of the most joyful and fun of my life!
In the year since I learned the Process, I’ve become a leader in my field, a person hundreds of others look to as an example of happiness and resilience. I went from working as an intern to serving on the Board of Directors of my organization. I rebuilt my relationship with my partner and deepened our connection. I effortlessly achieved my ideal body weight—something I wasn’t even trying to do. I repaired broken family relationships, made new friends, and completed the first draft of a book.
None of this would have happened for me without the inner strength the Lightning Process has brought to my life. I once viewed my long illness with sorrow and self-pity. Now I view it with gratitude, because without reaching the low point of being sick, I would never have been led to the powerhouse of wisdom that is the Lightning Process.”

“For me, the LP was relearning a new way to live and thrive. Jodie is an amazing coach and mentor. ”
“I knew that after speaking with Jodie, on a consult, that I would be able to get through “Long Haulers” with her help and the LP. I couldn’t wait to begin the journey of healing and learn all about the resources that I needed to help me.
I found Jodie via a podcast where she was being interviewed, and I loved what she had to say about healing, recovering from illness and the role mindset and the mind-body connection play.
My experience with Jodie was remarkable and I truly see her as one of the most kind, supportive, compassionate, and caring coaches and woman that I’ve known and worked with. I was so lucky to have found her to help me with my recovery. You cannot put a price on that experience. I’m so grateful to her.
When Jodie says she’s “in it” she means it. She helped me every step of the way to recovery. I could feel how much she cared and she was in my corner cheering me on the whole way.
In fact, just after our first coaching session I did not have any of the fatigue that I ‘d been battling for months. Seriously. No Joke. I could not believe it. I still had a way to go but for the first time I had HOPE and trusted that my body would be well again. For me, the LP really was relearning a new way to live and thrive.
Jodie is an amazing woman, coach and mentor. I truly hope that more people who need her support, coaching skills and resources will find her. She is a blessing to all who need her.
Thank you Jodie. I’m back in the saddle again and loving every minute of it!”

“I’m not just ‘not fatigued all the time’; I’m thriving. I’m not just ‘not anxious or down anymore’; I’m loving the life that’s right smack in front of me.”
"I came to the Lightning Process with nearly two decades of unexplained and life-altering fatigue and depression. I’d previously explored lots of different medical pathways - many approaches and many wonderful, compassionate MDs, holistic doctors, neurologists, osteopaths, chiropractors, dieticians, counselors, etc. - but to no long-lasting, helpful avail. Some of the symptoms were classified as: fibromyalgia, CFS, PTSD, chronic migraines, hypo-glyacemia, etc. I heard about the LP from a childhood friend; her healing with the help of the LP was undeniable so I explored the LP as I was at a point where I could no longer care for my own two young children. I contacted Jodie and I then knew I had found where I needed to be. I could hear Jodie’s confidence in my recovery. The question was - was I willing to commit to put in the work? With Jodie’s confidence in my success backing me, I knew that was a definite “yes.”
I completed the LP seminar 3 months ago and I’m a different person. Friends often ask me, “So, you’re feeling back to normal?!” I say, “No, I’m not back to normal. I’m this new, greater version that I’ve never been before!” Actually, my change has been so profound that after staying with me for a week, a family member went and signed themselves up for a seminar!
Exceeding my expectations, I’m not sure if there is an aspect of my life that has not been touched by the LP (marriage, motherhood, work, relationships, health, etc). I’m not just “not fatigued all the time”; I’m thriving. I’m not just “not anxious or down anymore”; I’m loving the life that is right smack in front of me. Oh and don’t let me forget to mention - I now have a Gold Membership at Dunkin Donuts! (I exaggerate just a little!) For the past 11 years, by absolute necessity, I had been strictly GF. Previously, I couldn’t even walk into a donut shop as the wafting flour would upset my stomach.
Jodie is an incredibly wise and compassionate coach. Yes, I’ve put in the hard work; but I honestly couldn’t have done it without her being that steady support, cheering me on. She is always available and often has blown my mind with her wisdom. Not only is Jodie the life coach that everyone wishes they had :), she also trains us to be our own personal, wise and compassionate life coach.
As another note, I am a Christian with conservative theology. At first inquiry into the LP, I was not sure how the Lightning Process would align with my beliefs. To my greatest delight, I believe that the LP has enhanced my Christian walk. "Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life." Proverbs 4:23. Secondly, at first glance, the Lightning Process seems a little “radical.” You might even feel a little offended that your years of struggle can be so “easily fixed.” However, if you listen carefully to what the experts are saying (not always with the exact same vocabulary)...you’ll realize that everyone is talking about it (neuroplasticity, compassionate coaching, vulnerability, the mind/body connection). The research behind the Lightning Process doesn’t stand by itself - it really is an expression of the current research of today. Dr. Phil Parker has brought solid, proven science into a tangible tool."

“Taking the LP is the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. I am now fully recovered from CFS.”
Emmanuella, Administrative Assistant.
“In 3 months I have gained strength, stamina and energy and finally have my old life back”
"I had ME/CFS for over 10 years and it was progressively getting worse. After a long search for help, I came across the Lightning Process by chance. I decided I had nothing to lose so I contacted Jodie and set up a meeting. I met Jodie in LA a few months ago and spent 3 days with her. After the first days’ morning session a remarkable thing happened, I found myself in the gym on a treadmill running a mile straight. Unthinkable a day prior.
Jodie is a master at teaching the LP and has imbued me with hope and determination. Over the last 3 months I have gained strength, stamina and energy and finally have my old life back. Working with Jodie has been a life changing experience. I cannot recommend Jodie highly enough. I recommend you try it. If you have any doubts try it anyway!"

“All I can say is, wow it works! I could speak an entire page of why I recommend Jodie. She’ is 100 percent 5 stars!”
"I had the incredible opportunity to work with Jodie to learn the Lightning Process and for follow-up coaching. My intention was to heal my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. All I can say is, wow...it works! By day 2 in the training, I was already feeling more energized. I remember proclaiming the increased energy I was experiencing with more excitement than I'd ever had on this path to wellness. I knew in that moment that I had unlocked the key to getting well and staying well. The lightning process is empowering and allows you to master your mind/body connection for the desired results you want in your life. I started using it for energy and then realized how much I wanted to use this process for everything in my life. It's been a few months after the training and I have SO MUCH energy now.
I feel grateful for the opportunity to work with Jodie. She is dedicated to her profession of helping others heal themselves and she can help you discover the root of what is going on. She offers a level of support and connection that helps you reach your goals. Jodie is kind, compassionate, and patient. Jodie is truly an inspiration and I admire her ability to spread light and empowerment with the world. She practices what she preaches! I could continue to speak an entire page of why I recommend Jodie. She is 100 percent 5 stars! "

“I am now completely recovered from my post viral condition”
"I had a viral infection that started in March (presumably Covid-19).
I never recovered and had lingering symptoms like shortness of breath and extreme fatigue. I tried alternate medicine which really helped me heal but not completely. I read a lot about LP and decided to give it to go to help speed my recovery. My sessions with Jodie were great and gave me the hope that I can heal completely. The first day I did LP I ran with my daughter in the park. Until then I could only walk a block or so and then would get tired.I was amazed by how LP changed me for the good. I am now completely recovered from my post viral condition."

“I'm now able to walk, ride my bike, roller skate for miles, play with my sister, and dance to my favorite tunes! The LP was everything I hoped for and could ever want.”
“One day in the early morning I was running music blaring in my ears, my steps matching to the beat. Suddenly my head started to throb with a great pain and I almost collapsed into the muddy ground. Catching myself I saw the world around me was spinning like crazy. First I thought it was just a one-time thing, I was wrong. Soon I had to quit all of my exercise because of all the terrible headaches and great fatigue I had. After this, I basically was on my bed or the couch all day hoping against hope that I would find healing. I was heartbroken when my two year old sister didn't understand why I didn't want to play or when my dog would look hopefully up at me whenever her leash jingled. Would I ever be able to do these things again?
Months later after hearing about the Lightning Process from some friends I started to do the training with Jodie for Chronic Fatigue and depression. We used Zoom and it was still everything I hoped for and could ever want. I found the other participants in the seminar that weekend to be very encouraging and helpful.
I'm very grateful that I got to do the Lightning Process with Jodie who's been amazing with encouragement me and teaching me. I'm now able to walk, ride my bike, roller skate for miles, play with my sister, and dance to my favorite tunes!
I also had Covid in the summer of 2020 and months later, still hadn't got my sense of smell back. This is something I've worked on with Jodie and now I've been able to smell things again!
Thank you Jodie and thank you Lightning Process!”
Anya, Student
“Jodie gave Anya her life back through the Lightning Process and we are forever grateful”
“I watched my 14-year-old daughter go from being a happy energetic teenager to having chronic debilitating headaches and extreme fatigue. She could not walk more than about 10 steps without being completely exhausted. She could not even sit or stand for more than a couple of minutes. She couldn't even play with her little sister any more, she just didn't have the energy. For us, as her parents it was terrifying and we felt helpless. Doctors would rule things out, and we kept moving up the chain of specialists to pediatric neurologist but none of it was helpful. In fact, it was very draining for all of us, and Anya begged not to go to any more doctors. We prayed for healing, but on dark days it felt like she was slipping away from us.
We feel that it is so important to get our testimony out there because we did the LP on the testimony of a trusted Christian friend. I don't think we would ever have heard about it on our own, and if we had I don't think we would have considered it without that personal recommendation.
Jodie gave Anya her life back through the Lightning Process and we are forever grateful. Jodie is so compassionate and encouraging. Anya was empowered to deal with the malfunction of the nervous system that was causing both her headaches and fatigue. She is pain free and full of life again! She can laugh and play with her little sister, hike and bike for miles. Most days we have forgotten all about it. But when something calls it to mind I marvel at how suddenly it all came on. And then the nightmare was over just as quick, over a weekend”.
Anya’s mom, Trista
“After Long Covid my life is now 100% normal and I am completely 'me' again.”
I had a reasonably mild case of Covid in November 2020. I got back to normal life for a little while but then completely crashed. I was experiencing extreme fatigue and muscle weakness and could barely walk more than a minute. I had chronic insomnia which turned into anxiety and then depression. I also had light sensitivity, brain fog and a complete inability to look at a screen.
It was a very dark time because I was feeling so uncertain about the future. I was pretty desperate and didn't know if I'd ever feel normal again. But I was motivated by the fact that other people had overcome this and if they could, maybe I could as well.
The seminar with Jodie was great. The course was thorough, clear, constructed well, interactive and motivational. It also helped knowing Jodie's experience of overcoming CFS so she understood what we were going through.
Jodie is an amazing coach. She's sympathetic, empathetic and extremely knowledgeable. I felt in safe hands and that I was with the right person to help me get better.
My life now is 100% normal and it feels amazing. I have no symptoms and am back to juggling a busy life with my 4 children and running my own business. I am also exercising 4 days a week again. For example, I do army boot camp sessions twice a week and today I did an hour of a Hiit workout. I have no neurological symptoms either and am completely 'me' again. I'm so grateful

“The simple steps that the Lightning Process offers are life-changing”
“The lightening process offered me the ability to change my experience in any given moment. So much of how we experience our life is relational. We can therefore dictate the type of relationship we want. I have been working through chronic back pain. The simple steps that the LP offers of: stopping a pattern, validating myself and then choosing to create a new pattern, is life-changing. My back feels better, but even more importantly trust in my body has set in. Jodie was so supportive and helpful along way. I highly recommend this workshop!”

“Jodie has taught me how I can train my brain to totally enjoy my life to the full.”
"Working with Jodie was an amazing experience. She has opened my eyes to new possibilities in terms of healing and dealing with my anxiety due to my autoimmune conditions. Taking the Lightning Process with Jodie has taught me how I can train my brain to totally enjoy my life to the full. I feel calmer, but at the same time, more energetic. I couldn't be more grateful."
Eva, Fashion Manager
“Jodie has a radar to identify where you might have got 'stuck' and what might help you.”
"At the end of 2019 I took the LP training to work on my self-esteem which was affecting my mental and physical health. I still practice the LP on the regular bases I know its a great tool that works.
I want to pay tribute to my LP trainer Jodie who is so calm, rational and able to help me see see the bigger picture. She encouraged me to move away from worry, panic and sadness to a much calmer state where I have found it so much easier to make decisions. I also really appreciated Jodie's patience. I often want to get to the bottom of concepts, and answer the "why" questions. Jodie always stayed open, attentive and encouraging, and answered all of my questions. In my opinion, these are admirable qualities from a coach. Jodie is a very dedication person. She followed through with me with all the appointments, calls, and dilemmas which is a nice feeling. Maybe what is most important is that Jodie has this radar to identify where one might have got 'stuck' and what might help. I really appreciated my session with Jodie, and would recommend attending her seminars if you are interested in the LP here in the US or Canada."

“It has been a most eye-opening year with the good fortune of learning the Lightning Process.”
“On this lovely pre-Thanksgiving day, I am pondering all the people and things for which I am so grateful, and you Jodie come to mind again and again. It has been a most eye-opening year with the good fortune of learning the Lightning Process and receiving your most helpful supportive coaching. My state of mind is much more positive, in a healthier place, with more motivation and energy for the work and challenges ahead of me. Thank you so much for your most generous, insightful coaching and support. I wish you and your family the very best.”
