Hi I'm Jo. Please find a little bit about my story below....
I started out chasing success the traditional way— first class honors degree, top audit and consulting job in London, my own flat, international travel, access to executive leaders, glowing reviews. On paper, it was the dream!
But behind the scenes, it was a very different story. The more I achieved, the more the demands grew — late nights, weekend travel, constant pressure. Slowly, I came to the realisation that I was trading my peace, my health, and my most important relationships for a definition of success that didn’t feel quite like mine.
With burnout looming and no obvious way out, I chose to step away—from the job, the treadmill, the noise—and give myself space to breathe and reset. What followed was a 6-week transformational journey across South America, where I reconnected with myself, my values, and what truly matters.
... new found clarity on my priorities & boundaries...
When I returned, I did things differently. I re-entered the business world, but this time on my terms — driving change in the public finance sector while protecting my new found boundaries. Over the next 10 years, I saw first-hand how easily high-achieving, heart-led women (and men) can lose themselves in the business of “doing it all”—until they forget what they need to thrive.
Now, as a coach, wife, mum of two, and a business owner, I help stressed, unfulfilled, or under-achieving professionals and business owners to enliven their life, unlock their potential and create soul-led success.
Remember burnout isn't a badge of honour—and success doesn't have to cost your soul!

A bit about how I am qualified to help is detailed below....
Diploma in Personal Performance Coaching (The Coaching Academy)
I empower you to unlock your own wisdom through ICF approved coaching—no one-size-fits-all advice here. I will be there to provide the process and the (often much needed) reflection, support, and challenge, but it’s your deep understanding of what you want and need that will plot our course. Think how great it will feel when you get there, knowing you were the one driving your direction!
Neurolinguistic Processing (NLP) for Coaches (Pam Rigden)
I have the tools to help you shift limiting beliefs and unlock new thinking fast, so you can make progress and achieve success without being stifled and sabotaged by old thought patterns.
Neuroscience Coaching (In progress)
Like many things in life, coaching is much more impactful when you work with theory and practice combined. That’s why I have ensured I can provide science-backed insights into how the brain works – embedding confidence, clarity, and lasting change into your coaching experience.
Degree in Management Science & Engineering (Leeds University)
My solid foundation in understanding complex business and leadership challenges through a systems-thinking lens coupled with my years of experience means I can hit the ground running, rapidly understanding what you are dealing with and helping you craft solutions that are grounded in your reality.
International Diploma in Business Analysis (BCS)
I am able to share my knowledge of proven frameworks that can help you to spot patterns, solve problems, and create lasting improvements so you and your business can thrive.
A range of holistic well-being qualifications – Including Reflexology, Reike I&II and Nutritional Science, providing multi-dimensional insights in well-being and personal performance so you can approach your coaching journey feeling your best.
And beyond the qualifications, I bring intuitive insight, deep empathy, energy expertise, and an ability to see both the big picture and the small details that change everything.
