Consulting services:
You ever wonder, why isn’t my medical provider listening to me? What kind of doctor do I need? Where do I start? The medical system in this country has become increasingly complicated to maneuver, difficult to be heard in, hard to translate medical information, and complicated to communicate how you feel or advocate for yourself. I have worked with thousands of people and families over the past 25 years to help them better understand and advocate for themselves through translation of medical “speak” into digestible terms and concepts, alongside education and advocacy. If you are interested in my consulting services, please reach out to me through the contact us section to set up a free consultation.
Testimonials
Although I have worked with Jodi on many cases involving catastrophic injuries, watching her provide guidance and assistance to a young paraplegic man left a lasting impression. Her display of empathy and compassion never wavered while helping him go through his medical equipment of “wants versus his medical needs.” She will always be somebody I trust.

My son fell down a flight of stairs and ended up with a TBI. Jodi was amazing from the beginning of this horrible accident to the very end. From explaining what was happening to helping me ask the right questions and getting the care he needed she was there for all of it. She even talked to the doctor and helped get him into the best rehabilitation center in the area. I could not have gotten through this nightmare without her.
- Kim from MA
I cannot tell you how very much I truly appreciate all of your work on this very challenging case. It is not every day that I have the privilege of working with individuals who are so prompt and timely every step of the way. Most importantly, though, it was an honor to work with you to obtain an outcome that I am proud of for this very tragic matter. Your compassion and empathy, combined with your knowledge of the laws, made for a smooth process that resulted in an agreement that is in the best interest of all parties. If there is another unfortunate and catastrophic matter that causes our paths to cross again, I will be very grateful to see you!

When my son, Jodi’s nephew, was 10 he was diagnosed with a rare blood disease called HLH. If left untreated it is always fatal. Many doctors don’t know about this disease and it is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. We called Jodi and she became our medical advocate. She was able to research information, ask questions, and confer with the medical team in a way we were unable to. Jodi was able to push back on doctors’ complacencies as Kody was transferred to intensive care, still undiagnosed. When HLH was suspected, the team wanted to wait for confirmation of the disease before starting treatment. Jodi identified the world’s leading expert in HLH and pushed the team to consult with her. They did, and this doctor supported early treatment because the disease is so aggressive. Kody started treatment 4 days before formal diagnosis and began to improve. When the immediate crisis cleared, we were able to learn more about HLH and how devastating the disease is. We learned how critical early treatment is and how waiting four days for formal diagnosis could have resulted in Kody’s death. Jodi’s knowledge, advocacy, and tenacity proved invaluable in helping to save my son’s life.

my personal struggle
Just myself, most notably, I have had to advocate heavily for my daughter during the process of diagnosis and control of her Multiple Sclerosis when providers were treating her like she had a common cold and with my son through his liver diagnosis when providers were telling him his symptoms were just stress.
