Raising Moxie℠ educational services teaches adults how to create environments, which can cultivate courage and wellness in kids.
The Model: Surf'sUP Method℠
Following her teaching experiences at MIT with Dr. Richard Fletcher, Dr. Hodges became more determined to think about the impact of circadian biology and stress on the development of mental illness and mental wellness. Within her private practice, she began to refine her approach to include more emphasis on manageable stress, healthy circadian rhythms, and stress-related growth, and this became her Surf'sUP Method℠. Whereas in her private practice Dr. Hodges uses Surf'sUP Method℠ for clinical purposes, at Raising Moxie℠ she teaches Surf'sUP Method℠ in an educational service delivery format.
