My name is J.Woods (my artist name) and I am the owner of Believe in YOU jewelry & Gifts. My business was established in 2015 during a journey of self-healing. I had many self-limiting beliefs that led me down a path of finding self-love. This journey led me to creating jewelry pieces for myself to balance my body, mind and soul and gratefully led me to making pieces for all of you!

What do you love most about what you do?

I love creating unique pieces. I love created pieces that inspire and motivate others to look within and Believe in themselves. I have met some beautiful people along the way and can proudly say that my jewelry is all across Canada being represented by some amazing individuals.

My most memorable experience thus far was connecting with a beautiful soul in New Brunswick. We are miles and miles apart, but we connected, and I created some powerful pieces for her. My jewelry is always made with meaning and lots of love goes into it. New Brunswick is on my bucket list of places to travel and I hope to meet her someday!

Do you have a home studio or do you work at another location?

I have a home studio, my husband calls it a mess but I call it my creative environment! I do not have another work location but I have some amazing local support and my jewelry is featured in many places in Sudbury Ontario. I have to send a shout out to TWO places for supporting me form the start, Tin Can Alley was my first store that I was featured in, and Two Souls Yoga. Thank you ladies from the bottom of my heart!

To my entrepreneur friends my advice is to trust the process and believe in yourself!
