About Us

The idea for New Earth Therapeutic Provision grew from our deep experience working within the education system and witnessing, first-hand, the growing need for more holistic support for both children and the adults who guide them. We believe that children thrive when they are supported to remain connected to themselves, the natural world, and their own sense of expression and purpose. Too often, the pressures of modern education create environments where this connection is lost. Having lived the realities and demands of working in education from the inside out, we recognised a clear need for support that nurtures the whole person — emotionally, spiritually and socially. New Earth Therapeutic Provision was created to respond to this need, offering consultancy, CPD and therapeutic services to support schools and the wider community. Alongside this, we provide 1:1 therapeutic support for children and adults, through a variety of modalities recognising that wellbeing must be supported at every level of the community. We also host events designed to reconnect people back to themselves, the earth, and the deeper relationships that nurture wellbeing, growth and authentic expression.

Our Story

My journey to creating New Earth Therapeutic Provision is deeply personal. I spent 15 years working in education and saw both the beauty and the pressures within the system. During that time, I trained as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Reiki Practitioner, always feeling a pull toward supporting people in a deeper, more holistic way. When the world paused during the Covid pandemic, I was faced with my own period of overwhelming anxiety and depression. It became clear that something in my life needed to change. I began doing the inner work – engaging in therapy, deepening my spiritual practices, and retraining as a therapist. Along the way I made some significant life changes, including becoming a single parent. These experiences, alongside other chapters of loss and heartbreak have shaped who I am today. As a child I often felt like parts of me went “missing” because I wasn't able to fully express myself. That experience drives my passion to create something different for the next generation. I want children, parents and the wider community around them to feel seen, supported and connected. Through therapeutic support, consultancy and community events, my hope is to create spaces that nurture growth, acceptance and reconnection — bridging the gap between education, the psyche, the earth and spirituality. It’s time for us to do things differently.

Meet The Team

Jodie Henry

Founder & Director

I am a therapist, teacher, and leader devoted to helping people step into the fullest expression of who they truly are - the messy, raw, creative, untamed self that exists beneath expectation, conditioning, and fear. I believe deeply that there is information and wisdom in everything we do: in our behaviours, our emotions, our patterns, our creativity, and even in the places where we feel stuck. My work is about creating brave, compassionate spaces where that information can be explored and honoured, where people can remember who they are and reclaim the parts of themselves that have been silenced or hidden.

Connection is the heartbeat of everything I offer. Connection to ourselves, to each other, to the spiritual realm, and to the earth that holds and nourishes us. In a world that can feel increasingly disconnected, I am passionate about reminding people that they are not alone - that belonging, community, and deep presence are fundamental human needs. I care fiercely about helping people find their voice and trust it. So often the quietest voices, the most sensitive souls, and the children who don’t fit neatly into systems are the ones whose needs go unseen or misunderstood. I advocate strongly for them, holding space for what has been missed and helping bring it into awareness with compassion and courage.

My work is shaped by a rich and varied path. I come from a background in the performing arts, which taught me the power of expression, embodiment, and creativity as pathways to truth. I worked as an SEN teacher, where I supported children whose ways of being and learning are often overlooked by traditional systems. I am also a Reiki practitioner and cacao sharer, bringing energy work, ritual, and heart-centred practices into the spaces I facilitate. Alongside my training and experience, I trust deeply in my intuition-listening for what is spoken and what lives beneath the surface.

At the heart of everything I do is a fierce belief that each person carries a unique creative life force that deserves to be seen, heard, and expressed.

Amy Manancourt

Co Director

My aim as a practitioner is for you to feel at home in your body, for your body to be a safe and stable anchor and for you to be able to listen to the subtle and not so subtle whispers of your body.

My entire life has been dedicated to working with the body and how our relationship with our own body impacts our overall health and how we experience the world. My favourite question has always been ‘why’ and this has been the driving force behind why I teach and what I teach, I have no interest in doing something because it’s the way it’s always been done, I learn and teach for collective change, exploring what is going to make a difference first to myself, then to my students and then to the collective.

I am a currently a teacher, therapist and trainer qualified in Dance performance, Yoga, Tantra, Somatic Shamanism and Energy Medicine, Massage and Bodywork and Astrology. I deliver therapeutic work online and in person in Leeds, teach specialist Yoga and movement classes and deliver training in Developmental Movement Play for Jabadao.

My vision as part of New Earth Therapeutic Provision is to utilise my 20 years of experience working with the body to enable children, young people and adults to have a rooted and embodied knowing of who they are so they can step out into the world with confidence and ease.
