Dr. Jodi-Maree Cronin believes the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the space between us can fundamentally shape how we experience life.
A retired doctor, animal-assisted psychotherapist, Emotional Wealth Consultant, and Director of the Pack 4 Life Institute, Jodi-Maree has dedicated her work to understanding the role relationships and awareness play in healing, connection, and personal growth.
She is the founder of Relational Awareness and Wisdom (RAW), an approach centered on developing greater awareness of self, others, and the relational space we create together. Through RAW, Jodi-Maree explores how recognizing our own relational patterns can change the way we communicate, connect, respond to challenges, and move through the world.
At the heart of much of her work is an unlikely but deeply influential teacher: her assistance dog, Benni. Through trauma, recovery, and the extraordinary relationship they shared, Benni challenged Jodi-Maree to see healing and human connection from a different perspective. Their bond became an important influence on both her personal journey and professional work.
Jodi-Maree is also the author of three published books, including her memoir, Benni: The Best Medicine Has Paws, which tells the story of the little dog who helped change the course of her life. Her writing continues to explore connection, relationships, healing, and values-based living. She is currently developing a children's book, Finding Benni, as well as a new book exploring the concept of Emotional Wealth.
Her message is simple: we do not exist in isolation. When we become more aware of how we relate to ourselves and those around us, we can transform not only our relationships, but the way we experience our lives.
