The pain was acute and debilitating on many levels including depression, emotional instability and with less and less physical movement the fear of life in a wheelchair felt imminent. She reached a crossroad, either have spinal fusion or find something else… that ‘something else’ was Yoga and the beginning of the most profound healing journey.

“It was challenging to get onto the floor at my first yoga class without help and without pain.”
After a while the results began to show for themselves, her first uninterrupted sleep was cause for celebration. “I noticed the benefits on my mental health, I felt more at peace and the physical practice became a little less daunting. I had my first ‘aha’ moment when I finally comprehended why the breath is so important and how all parts of this human experience needed to work in harmony for healing, and through this, I felt my body begin to repair itself.”   

The results began to show for themselves, her first uninterrupted sleep was cause for celebration. Jo continued attending yoga classes 3 times a week and began studying yoga philosophy with profound results that led to a pain free body, naturally. Incredible!     Jo was determined to help others heal through yoga and six years after her first class, it seemed a natural progression to embark on her yoga teacher training, including Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Trauma informed Yoga; Meditation, Philosophy, Somatics and Psychosomatic Therapy. The learning continues. She is sought after by those with physical injuries, working with mental health and providing spiritual guidance if required. Her style is unorthodox and direct, working with the physical, mental, and emotional body to access healing for her clients on a holistic level, with life-changing results.
