Jody Thomae has been on the dual-paths of Christian ministry and body-based work for close to 30 years.
In ministry, she has been involved in worship and creative arts since 1997 and has authored several Bible studies geared towards the creative Christian, including "God’s Creative Gift" and "The Creator’s Healing Power". Holding an MA in Spiritual Formation from Ashland Theological Seminary, she is a certified spiritual director and is on faculty with Healing Care Ministries Spiritual Direction program. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in Spiritual Formation and Relational Neuroscience at Western Theological Seminary, researching and writing on the embodied path to wholeness found in the Eucharist.
As an embodied spiritual director and yoga therapist (C-IAYT), she teaches on Christian embodiment through her ministry Rooted & Reaching. She is particularly interested in the reclamation of the body in the spiritual journey and leads workshops, trainings and retreats on embodiment and spirituality at her private home studio in North Central Ohio. She has authored three body-based Bible studies titled "Jesus In My Practice"; "Voices of Wisdom in the Body"; and "O My Soul".
She also loves hunting rocks and compiled a Christ-centered resource called "The Rocks Cry Out: A Christian Guide to Stones, Gems & Crystals."
She is the wife of Dale Thomae and the mother of two grown children and one fur baby, a Cavapoo named Kobe.
