About Jo Hennessy | Heart-Mind Performance Coach
How I Help
Balancing a high-pressure career or business with personal wellbeing can feel impossible. Through my Heart-Mind Performance System™, I help professionals to:
Regulate stress and maintain energy throughout the day
Strengthen focus, clarity, and decision-making under pressure
Align career, personal, and family priorities with sustainable routines
Using an integrative approach that blends HeartMath®, neuroscience, NLP, and high-performance coaching, clients move from feeling reactive and drained to confident, energised, and purpose-driven.

"I reimagined what success could look like — energising, fulfilling, and truly my own"
My Journey
After several years in assurance and consulting, serving clients across the UK and Europe, I found myself pulled in all directions and feeling the impact on my health, energy, and relationships. Despite success on paper, I was exhausted and disconnected from the balance I wanted in life. While there were plenty of opportunities for professional development, stress and energy management weren’t part of the workplace support available.
This experience sparked a deep interest in understanding how to regulate energy, manage stress, and build resilience from within. After a period of reconnecting with myself, I pivoted to the public banking sector in Technology to allow for a more sustainable routine. When I later left London to start a family, I trained as a personal performance coach, and exploring techniques that integrate mind, heart, and body — including HeartMath®, NLP, and neuroscience.
Today, I combine my corporate experience with science-backed coaching to help others thrive professionally and personally.
A Personal Touch
Outside of coaching, I value family time, playing tennis, singing, and simple daily habits that restore energy and focus. These practices are at the heart of my coaching philosophy — small, intentional steps that make a big difference over time.
