Meditation is like a golden key to life. If you practice, you will open doors that you never knew existed.
Meditation reduces mental reactivity and distraction, lowers stress, helps you sleep better, enhances emotional control and awareness, and so much more. And the benefits are backed up by science. Make it a habit, and watch your life transform for the better.

YEAR IN REVIEW:
Big Heart Meditation & Mindfulness
As I reflect on 2025, I am filled with deep gratitude. This year was about creating space for calmer nervous systems and more intentional living. Through meditation and mindfulness, I had the honor of supporting individuals and teams as they paused, breathed, and reconnected with what is steady and grounded within them.
I am incredibly thankful to the organizations and communities who trusted me with this work: Families First Counseling Services
Western Home Communities, True North, Journeys at Murdoch Funeral Homes & Cremation Service, Holmes Murphy, Solon High School, Coe College, Loyola Medicine, The Restoration Project, Thrivera, Indian Creek Nature Center- Women in Nature, Leadership for Five Seasons, Vella Yoga, Health & Wellness, Stephanie Neighbor Kubik, Sacred Balance Integrative Health, Insight Timer, Elevate Leadership Academy
And a very special thank you to Donna Cecchini Weaver, the best accountability partner ever. Your support and steady presence mean more than you know. To Stephanie Neighbor Kubik for allowing me to be at Vella! And to Lindsay Leahy who is a constant encourager, attendee and guide for me!
This year reaffirmed what I believe deeply: meditation and mindfulness are not extras, they are essential. When we learn how to slow down, connect inward, become more self-aware and care for ourselves, everything else begins to shift. I truly love what I get to do and am grateful for every moment of connection and shared presence along the way.
If you or your team need support finding your calm, I would love to help.
From my Big Heart to yours, thank you for being part of this journey in 2025- Jodi
I had the opportunity to hire Jodi from Big Heart Meditation and Mindfulness as a resource for my coaching clients.
In today’s fast-paced world, so many people are overwhelmed, stressed, and disconnected from the present moment.
Jodi offers a calming, real-world approach to mindfulness that helps people pause, reset, and breathe again. Her personal journey makes her message all the more impactful.
Whether you’re supporting a team, a group, or individuals, I highly recommend Jodi’s work to anyone looking to create space for more peace, clarity, and presence. - Eva LaFever
