LifeChange Coaching, Counselling & Consulting Inc. was established in 2008 in Saskatoon. Operating from their own residence, which is an Approved Mental Health and Addictions home, they provide a unique environment where they live with five patients/residents. The organization collaborates with churches, communities, clinics, businesses, colleges, and organizations to offer professional counselling, certified coaching, and clinical supervision services. Notably, LifeChange contributes to various community initiatives, including their own charity.
LifeChange services are entirely referral-based, and their charity operates on a volunteer basis, with no one making a profit. With a dedicated team of 50+ volunteers, many of whom have overcome their own challenges, they provide vital support for individuals dealing with issues such as alcoholism, chemical dependency, abuse, eating disorders, sexual issues, trauma, childhood adversity, divorce, grief, and various spiritual, mental, and emotional concerns. They extend their support to individuals, families, couples, groups, youth, and children.
Jodi's recent partnership with Josephine Rwankuba reflects her commitment to expanding the reach of LifeChange. She has found a trusted collaborator who shares her vision of helping people achieve holistic health: body, soul, and spirit. Jodi continues to be an influencer, a servant leader, and a lifelong learner, dedicating her life to making a difference in the lives of others through education, counselling, and coaching.
