Jodie M. Gordon, LCSW-C
Licensed Clinical Social Worker · Certified Menopause Specialist · Pilates Instructor · Wellness Coach · Owner, Embody Pilates & Wellness
Jodie M. Gordon, LCSW-C, is Baltimore's leading wellness expert specializing in the balance of mind and body to achieve overall wellbeing. Her practice, Embody Pilates & Wellness, is the result of over 25 years of experience in the field. After earning her Masters Degree in Social Work at the University of Maryland, Jodie extended her specialty to include personal training and Pilates instruction.
"I believe that traditional talk therapy doesn't always work with anxiety, trauma and depression. In my experience, I've found that by identifying areas where perception is distorted and educating clients on how the brain functions as well as teaching the use of mind/body techniques, my patients are able to get out of patterns where they were once stuck and stagnant."
Jodie credits her deep appreciation and understanding of the mind/body connection to her work at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, where she helped children with significant medical, developmental and emotional challenges. It helped her truly understand the importance of movement — and learn to view individuals based on their strengths instead of their limitations. Her years of clinical experience influenced her philosophy and mission to help others achieve their physical, mental and spiritual goals.

You deserve support through every stage
After having gone through a difficult transition herself into perimenopause, menopause, and beyond, Jodie now has a mission to help empower women along their journey through multifaceted modalities that include education, fitness, stress management, nutrition, advocacy, and compassion.
She teaches women that there are options available to address the physical, chemical, and emotional components of dealing with their aging bodies — helping them come out feeling that they can take control of their physical and emotional wellbeing to continue to lead productive and purposeful lives.
"Something that was once never talked about can now be shared without feeling alone, frustrated, and confused."
