Jo's story

"Exploring what facilitates lasting transformation is my passion and has led me to study many perspectives, philosophies and modalities of transformational work over the last 40 years. Currently I offer workshops, transformational coaching and supervision.

All my offerings are rooted in my own integration of conscious dance, somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness, presence, dynamic heart inquiry, awakening teachings, Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects and collective trauma teachings of Thomas Hubl. I am also deeply inspired and influenced by many years of studying Amerta Movement with Suprapto Suryodarmo. I currently offer workshops in UK, USA, Canada, Greece, Portugal and Thailand.

 

My journey has led me on a path of of deep learning through involvement with many amazing colleagues, clients and teachers; I was a professional mentor & faculty member of School of Movement Medicine for 12 years; I held a private Psychotherapy practice for 20 years; I was a senior trainer on the MA program in Contemplative Psychotherapy at the The Karuna Institute, UK for 12 years. Prior to Covid I had the privilege of being kept at my learning edge by teaching extensively in mainland China, Russia and Taiwan. Involvement in the Transition Towns Movement led me to offer Personal Resilience training, Conflict Fundamentals and facilitation of several International Transition Network conferences and enabled me to explore how large groups can effectively self-organise. I also gained experience in Dynamic Governance.

 

As I gather years on Planet Earth, what matters to me most is the joy and profound healing of movement and dance, and its potential to profoundly enhance presence, embodiment and relatedness.”
