Dr Jodi Richardson

Through my work as a speaker, author and educator...

I share practical, evidence-based insights, strategies and skills to help parents, educators and other professionals, and the children in their lives, find freedom from anxiety, fulfil their potential and thrive.

I’m best known for my compassion which stems from my experiences living with anxiety from such a young age. The wonderful people I work with, and for, typically comment that as I share understanding, strategies and skills to help with anxiety, in parallel with some of my own experiences, they know they’re learning from someone who knows anxiety both personally and professionally, and cares deeply about making a difference in people’s lives.

I combine nine years of university study with more than twenty years of professional work in education, clinical practice and elite sport. Through this, and my lived experience, I’ve seen it all, heard it all, felt it all, and flourished through it all. My sincere ambition is to assist others to flourish too.
