“Working with Jo was an inspiring and transformative experience. She created a safe and supportive environment that really  encouraged me to explore my creative goals, and to not be so hard on myself. Jo's guidance helped me gain clarity on my aspirations and provided the structure and accountability I needed to make the progress I was struggling to do on my own. Her empathetic and insightful approach made our sessions productive and enjoyable - I had several what I can only described as breakthrough moments, seeing more clearly some of the barriers that had been hindering me for the longest time, and with Jo's help I was explore workarounds that were tailored to me. I'm deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend her coaching, and look forward to working with her again.”

“I’ve known Jo since 2014, when I started working as her studio assistant. What began as a role focused on admin and errands gradually evolved into something much more meaningful, thanks to Jo’s patient guidance and encouragement. She taught me practical skills - from updating websites and designing documents to helping with mural painting - and more importantly, she helped me grow in confidence.

Jo has a unique ability to listen, guide, and gently challenge you to take the next step. Her support has been instrumental in my development as an independent artist, and I now operate my own studio.

Jo demonstrates excellent communication skills, maintaining professional relationships that are both effective and personable. She communicates clearly, kindly, and with purpose - balancing warmth with honesty. Her confident yet sensitive approach creates a positive working environment. Jo has helped me understand how to have conversations that are both respectful and constructive, which I now carry into my own work. 

Her mentoring abilities have proven highly effective, as evidenced by my own professional growth under her guidance. I recommend Jo without reservation.”

“Having the opportunity to work with Jo over a couple of sessions was brilliant.  When I signed up to work with her I knew I needed to but wasn't exactly sure why.  Fast forward to just a few sessions later and I feel so different within myself - much more collected in my thoughts and certain as to my core motivations, which has had a huge impact on not only my work life but also day to day.  Thank you Jo for your support!.”

“Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way is actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.”
