“Dancing with Jo, I meet Jo in this gorgeous space on Hill Street. White, bright and soft. Jo has invited me for a SAH session.

We start by setting our intentions and then slowly ease into the first set of movements.

Slowly building up with the music. Then back to the breath, the affirmations and checking in.

The next movements are demonstrated by Jo, in-in and out.

I love structure in movement, you can use it as a foundation - as a safety anchor to get back to if you feel overwhelmed or otherwise if you have broken free to come back to.

This is what the practice is about, you breathe in a rhythm, you move with the breath, you fly and soar and keep coming back to your present moment. Your heart space. Together with Jo, who guides you all the way. Her energy will lift you and support you. She will push you to new heights you didn’t know you could reach. With her, you experience the true beauty and essence of life. Dancing freely and experiencing your deepest emotions in a safe and caring setting with the most amazing, loving, and giving teacher. I had to get over a few hurdles here and there, but coming back to my breath each time after an intense moment of movement gave me the confidence to keep going.

I felt blissful and at peace with myself afterwards. It is a true moment of real beauty and authenticity. Shared with this great lady who has changed my life forever. I hope you will let yourself have this experience with Jo. You will always remember it with great joy, and it will take you to new levels, which will enrich your life for the long term.”

“I wanted to thank you - you’re the coach I never knew I needed ❤️ I have smashed my 365 day challenge today!! I simply couldn’t have done it without you. When I first saw your talk I felt a connection, a shift and I knew I had to make contact. You made me feel safe. You understood. You listened. You never judged. Like a toddler in the wilderness you held my hand, kept my chest up high and wiped away the tears. You gave me strength and encouragement when I needed it. You also gave me a very needed gentle nudge every now and again. Over time I’ve learnt to stand on my own two feet, but your lessons and words ring in my ears daily….

When I started my work with Jo I was 3 months alcohol free. I felt I needed support to continue as the temptation to start drinking again became stronger. AA did not appeal to me. A friend of mine recommended Jo and she gave me her contact. Jo and I had a discovery call to see if we would be a good fit. I was very depressed when we spoke and what I found so amazing about Jo is that, even though I had never met her, she was able to make me feel held and supported. I could feel her genuine love coming through the phone. Needless to say we both felt our partnership would work and we went ahead to book the first session.

This is what it is, a partnership. You both put in the work. And hard work it is too. Jo is always available for additional support outside the weekly talks. She also intuitively messaged me to check in with how I was doing and that made me feel so much better. It is wonderful she has that intuition as it makes you feel truly connected which is super important to me. Her messages always came at just the right time. Magical!…

Over the past six months, Jo has been an unwavering source of support and guidance during my sobriety challenge. Without her invaluable assistance, I can honestly say that I would have struggled immensely.

From day one, Jo was there for me, offering her expertise, wisdom, and understanding at any time I needed it. Her commitment to my journey was evident as she consistently provided me with the encouragement and advice necessary to stay focused on my goal.

Whenever I felt overwhelmed or tempted to revert to old habits, Jo was right there, talking complete sense and reminding me of the reasons why I embarked on this path…

I started my journey with Jo focused on leaving behind the ‘want’ & ‘need’ to occupy my free ‘fun’ time with a drink in my hand. As a task orientated individual who gets a dopamine hit from ticking off goals, I thought “lets aim for 90 days without alcohol and see what happens”! I had no idea what to expect from Jo or indeed myself.

Then BOOM! The penny dropped! Life isn’t about focusing on avoiding something (cup half empty), its about focusing on what brings you joy and filling your cup up! (Stolen from Jo herself).

Jo’s coaching style has navigated me through some tricky parts personally and allowed me to give myself permission to stop, breathe and focus on investing in myself…. Something that most of us on the planet are completely rubbish at.

It may sound corny, but Jo has literally saved my life! There are so many of us who reach a certain age and start reflecting on what’s next and it can be terrifying, but Jo’s warmth, patience and passion for what she does it remarkable. A diamond in the rough, who I now classify as a friend as well as a life coach. Yes I said life coach! I have forgotten the aim of not having a drink (which I haven’t btw) because I am having way too much fun trying to find out what else I can throw myself at in stage 2 of life journey….

Since giving up drinking with the help of Sober Jo and the group program, back in March 2022, my confidence, wellbeing and outlook and life in general have gone from strength to strength

Coaching that started with a sober focus has seamlessly led to 1:1 life coaching, looking at goals and aspirations whilst managing fears and disruptive thought processes.

Together we have worked on my fear of public speaking which enabled me to pass a panel interview for a promotion at work with flying colours and more recently, the management of my nerves on performing.

If someone would have said to me 12 months ago that I would be competing in a UK championships solo event and be able to manage my nerves in the lead-up and on the rink and perform like I can at home during training and enjoy it, I would never have believed it. But it’s true, it was the best competing experience of my life and its all thanks to Jo’s support, mentoring, coaching and most of all her belief in me.

I am so excited for my next challenge with Jo. I feel like the possibilities are now endless.

Thank you so much Jo.

I have recently worked with Jo on her 12 week 1 2 1 coaching program, and I simply cannot speak highly enough about both Jo and the program itself. The program is well structured, and the weekly topics are intuitive giving you the opportunity to reflect upon where you are in life and where you want to be.

Jo is so much more than a sober coach – she can help with so many other areas in your life, self- esteem and self-belief, relationships, empowerment, emotional well-being and growth, motivation and achieving your goals.

Jo is fantastic at helping you help yourself she has boundless energy and enthusiasm both for life and for you as her client, she is empathetic, totally non-judgemental, caring, and warm.

Jo’s coaching is soulful and holistic …

“Thank you so much for coming and doing such an excellent job of raising the benefits and options for a life of sobriety, the risk of an enthusiastic sociable drinking being a ‘booze bully’ and the line not about necessarily encouraging sobriety but being ‘mindful’ in your drinking. I loved the way that you co-presented with Andy and that he provided such lovely drinks, suitable for morning meeting, focusing not on missing out but on having delicious and wholesome alternatives as opposed to necessarily replicating alcohol with a like for like alternative. I am currently doing dry January with no intention of attempting lifelong sobriety, but is has made me rethink that, and to at least be ‘mindful’ and ruling out being thirsty before seeking a refreshing alcoholic drink!

I’ve had emails from staff thanking us for working together to get the conversation going about alcohol and saying that it’s been really useful and well timed. I am definitely a Gimber girl and look forward to receiving my first order of full sized bottles now the shot samples are finished!!

Thank you for being so open in sharing your story, this is where the real power lies.”

“What a positive experience working with Jo. I am so thankful that the universe made our paths cross and she made time in her already full schedule to coach me.

I truly had no idea what to expect from a coach, especially around the topic of alcohol, which people natural jump to the conclusion that you have whisky on your cornflakes. To counter the popular belief, a lot of people just have a bad relationship with alcohol, and that can be just feeling horrid after a single night out a week.

Jo has developed an amazing toolset which cover discovery through to sustaining a healthy life for the foreseeable future.

“I met Jo in July and her positive help has enabled me to stop drinking. I cannot say enough how her weekly meetings have been so supportive and enlightening.

I truly think that being sober is the best thing that has happened to me. I feel so much better in myself and I was unaware how alcohol impacted my life. Jo helped me to fix my problem and I no longer think about drinking. I have put into practice what I have learnt from Jo and have become more present and mindful in my daily life.

She is the most incredible person and has taught me so much and she has become a friend too.

I cannot recommend her coaching enough. It was the most fabulous journey.”

“Jo attended an event I helped organise promoting healthier relationships with alcohol. Jo took the audience on her personal journey who were able to resonate with her honesty. I think it’s so important to be empathetic in this space, and with her funny anecdotes and humility, she really helped open up the conversation around alcohol with sensitivity and warmth. If I ever have the opportunity to do so, I would love to work with her again. Thank you, Jo, you’re a real role-model.”

“I reached out to Jo after a pretty grotty year after losing my lovely dad and having to focus on professional qualification exams. I was struggling to manage my mood and my motivation. I was so stressed and confused that I couldn’t make decisions at all, and I was struggling to do things for me (I have always been a bit of a people pleaser).

“I have just completed the 12-week group sober programme with Jo and four other wonderful ladies!

The programme has provided me with a newfound sense of freedom and excitement which feels incredible…”

“Before I started Sober Jo’s group program, I was in a pretty uncertain and unhappy place for quite some time. I wouldn’t say that I considered myself to be a big drinker, but I knew my relationship with drink wasn’t a healthy one. When I did have a drink, I’d drink too much and couldn’t quite handle it, which created problems…”

“I have just finished Jo’s 12 week sober group programme & I can’t recommend it enough! I have done online coaching in the past but this programme exceeded my expectations!…”

“Jo has honestly changed my life, equipping me with tools, clarity, confidence and resilience. Jo made me see how important self-love is, challenging myself and growing from it…”

“The reason I chose Jo as a coach is because I was drawn to her energy, honesty and relatability. I knew from the discovery call that there would be no judgment whatsoever, Jo tells it like it is and brings out the absolute best in you. Her positivity and confidence are infectious and you leave your session feeling like you can tackle anything…”

“I’m now 5 and a half months sober, thanks to Jo, and I have to say I’m funnier than ever! But now when I laugh, I remember it and I congratulate myself for being funny! I’m not drunken funny, I’m genuinely belly-laugh funny…”

“I have been on my own sober journey, and with my newfound clarity, I wanted help finding my voice for my business on social media. She's helped me to break through glass ceilings. Her energy is amazing, and I feel Like I have known her for years. She's so open and friendly…”
