Let Go. Slow Down. Begin Again.
I’ve created a very special day retreat to help you ease into Autumn.
It will be an intimate gathering, with very limited spaces, and a full day designed around letting go, grounding and gently recalibrating your energy as the season begins to shift.
Our day will include all the elements you know and love from my retreats:
transitional acupuncture, releasing Qi Gong, time to rest, nourishing food, treats and seasonal teas — with the option to enjoy the sauna and swim if it calls to you.
Saturday 26th September.
Ease Into Autumn- What's Included
Review Steyning, Spring 2025
Jo gently weaved her knowledge to create a truly special day of self care in a beautiful. rural setting. It was spot on in every way. From the learning to the experiencing and the glorious sauna and lake plunge overlooking the South Downs. So glad I took the day as we come to the end of a long winter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is group acupuncture
Group acupuncture is acupuncture treatment in a group setting. Usually up to 6 people receive treatment simultaneously.
Before treatment Jo takes your full health history via an online form. On the day she'll ask about any current issues such as if you have your period.
Jo then treats you for relaxation and points to help your energy flow from one season to the next.
Treatment is of the same high standard as 1-2-1 sessions following heatlh and safety guidelines as set out by the British Acupuncture council.
I'm new to Qi Gong what does it entail?
Jo teaches very simple Dao Yin Qi gong. Slow meditative movements suitable for complete beginners to seasonal Qi Gongers.
Everyone will get something from the session no matter how experienced they are.
Dao Yin is self healing and non prescriptive with the breath. You can go at your pace and enjoy the gentle movement surrounded in nature.
