About Jo Hennessy | Heart-Mind Performance Coach

Overview

I help consultants and leaders perform at their best under sustained pressure. Combining science-backed coaching techniques with a deep understanding of modern work and family demands, I guide clients to enhance focus, regulate energy, and align their priorities, so high performance becomes sustainable, intentional, and fulfilling.

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.

My Journey

After several years in assurance and consulting, serving clients across the UK and Europe, I found myself pulled in all directions - I was running on adrenaline, struggling to switch off, 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 performance coach, exploring techniques that integrate mind, heart, and body — including Mindset Coaching, HeartMath®, NLP, and neuroscience principles.

Today, I combine my corporate experience with science-backed coaching to help others thrive professionally and personally while maintaining wellbeing — without having to run on adrenaline to get by.

A Personal Touch

Outside of coaching, I value family time, battling it out on the tennis court, 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.
