This is Jo
I guide people to clear the mental noise, get back in touch with how they actually feel, and treat themselves with a little more kindness and compassion.
As a mom of 3 adult children, I have lived the peaks and valleys of parenthood. I wasn’t always kind to myself with the choices I made along the way, and like all parents, made mistakes that impacted how I felt about myself as a mother and as a woman. The healing practices that helped transform my mind, body, and soul began with yoga and meditation which started my own discovery of soulful wellness practices.
Having spent more than 30 years as a public school teacher, I know firsthand what it feels like to navigate a high-pressure, demanding career. I’ve seen how easy it is to burn out when you're constantly pouring into others and letting your job consume all your energy. I am committed to supporting professionals and educators through the highs and lows of their work—giving them the tools to manage stress, step away from the constant noise, and make sure their life is defined by much more than just what they do for a living.
My offerings include yoga, meditation, journaling, mindfulness, EFT tapping, Reiki, and exploration of one’s life purpose.
