Meet Jody Hagedorn – Holistic Diva!

Jody Hagedorn

Tell us a little about yourself:
Jody Hagedorn prefers her organically grown eggs and life, sunny-side up! Childhood summers were spent with family and friends, swimming, water skiing, & boating on the Chippewa River and the Mighty Mississippi. Cuddling babies & ‘furred ones’ at a very young age became a favorite, and that past time carried into adulthood with a passion for nurturing people, plants, and animals along with the land. A believer of ‘Home is where the Heart is’- Jody has created a haven for all…welcomed, supported & nourished, Chicken soup for the soul; mind or eating kind. Her enthusiasm, humor, and love are contagious to all who cross her path. As a wife and mom for over 30 years, Jody cherishes time with her husband, friends, and three grown sons. Time up North searching for the perfect agate, propagating perennials in the backyard Reflexology Path and Garden, camping, cooking/hostessing guests & a good ol’ belly laughing movie are what she values most in the ‘hobby’ world. When thinking about what matters most, Jody may answer ‘the miracles that happen daily, when we are full of gratitude and love.’

What products and services do you offer?

My passion is sharing information with anyone who is seeking to improve their health and life with natural methods of healing. The most requested and effective are individual and group sessions of Reflexology, Reiki, EFT (emotional freedom technique), & Raindrop Therapy. A successful combination includes a series of 5 sessions beginning with EFT to remove the negative emotions under physical conditions. Second appointment may be Reflexology or Reiki to relax and calm, and the consecutive sessions are to follow up on whatever may come up as we process through the layers.  Of course, as the customer, you are free to choose for your sessions to be tailored to your specific needs… I’m here to gently guide you through the process.

What got you involved in your business and how long have you been involved?
24 years ago after a second c-section, I was introduced to Reflexology and immediately knew that natural methods of healing were a possibility. Bless everyone’s feet since then, as I have been on that path enthusiastically ever since. I LOVE the holistic approach to healing and am very thankful for all of the teachers along the way who so lovingly shared their talents and gifts!

What is your favorite part of what you do?
Seeing the response of a customer when they consciously shift from negative to positive.  ‘AHA’ moments are my absolute favorite!  This ‘work’ has actually become a way of life… No longer what ‘I do’…simply who I am! Second would be the flexibility of hours.  It’s been very rewarding to attend all of our son’s events over the years and we look forward to attending our grandchildren’s events as well.

How would I go about obtaining your services or products?
“Ask any mermaid you happen to see,” kidding.  Actually, word of mouth is awesome and extremely effective for this business.   Ideally, google Jody Hagedorn-I’m feeling lucky and my website appears. Realistically, 715-834-0883. I do recommend that if you ARE looking for services from holistic practitioners, ask around, you’ll be amazed at the answers you receive.

Do you have an office or storefront? If so, what are the hours the public is welcome?
The lower level of our home is the ‘transformation/relaxation’ center. Sessions are by appointment Monday through Friday from 10am-4pm with an occasional Saturday.  We’re educating the public on the importance of taking time for yourself during the day.  Other countries utilize Reflexology as their main healing modality.  Lunch hours are spent walking on Reflexology mats instead of having a coke and doughnut. www.jodyhagedorn.com for more info on how you can drastically improve your vitality.  See you soon!

What do you think is one of the most important things for a woman to know when going into business for themselves?
First, choose something you absolutely LOVE, and decide how to make money doing it.  Second, be specific on what you want, intend it like it was already there, and then do it! Third, see it as a way of life, not something you ‘have to do’, if it feels like a chore, choose again!  Be who you really are, when you are content and shining your light, those around you are apt to desire happiness too!

Are there any tips you would like to share about balancing life and work?
Be true to yourself. ‘Me first’ is good mental health! (I learned this the hard way with a few breakdowns!) I used to think placing myself first was selfish, then I learned-the better care I took of myself, the more energy I had to positively give others. Think of the ‘oxygen mask’ theory…the flight attendant on an airplane describes the oxygen mask scenario and says, if in crisis, place the oxygen mask on yourself, and THEN on the person next to you.  In other words, it is necessary to BREATHE first and then help others to breathe.  Brilliant!

Do you have any upcoming things (promotions, events, etc) you would like to let us know about?
We’ve added a 2 person infrared sauna in the second healing room. Complete with vibrantly colored ‘Jamaica-like’ walls.  Uplifting and a total healing experience with Reflexology, Reiki, or Raindrop Therapy.  Through December 20th, you’ll receive 20 minutes FREE in the sauna when combined with a 40 minute session of Reflexology! Wrap yourself in the warmth of infrared heat..ummmm.

Is there anything else you would like to share?
Gratitude for the opportunity to share a piece of my life and how we live here. I am blessed beyond measure to be walking (skipping, dancing and singing) here on this wonderful planet beside some of the most amazing people of all time. Call me to share your stories, and schedule a session for some fun!  I look forward to meeting you and sharing time together…soon!
