About Jo
Jo has spent almost 20 years supporting women’s health. She holds a degree in Chinese medicine, is a member of the British Acupuncture Council and teaches qi gong, with a deep love of nature and yang sheng, the Chinese art of nourishing life.
In clinic and on retreat, she has seen how much shifts when women understand their own bodies and have simple, natural ways to look after themselves. Her retreats give you the time and space to do just that.
Ancient Wisdom
Everything I do is rooted in Chinese medicine and yang sheng, the art of nourishing life. Through my years in clinic, I’ve seen how small, consistent changes to how we eat, sleep, move and think can make a real difference to how well we live.
