Tired of being tired was the tagline that got me hooked into learning more about what Jo's programmes were all about. I enrolled onto the 1:1 12 week coaching course and I can honestly say it is the best thing I have ever done.

Jo's kindness, guidance and support envelopes you into a journey of self discovery and how to feel and be a better you. Her daily check in's, weekly meets and visualisations during the programme have made me re-evaluate a lot of things in life, reset my mindset and well-being and for that I am forever grateful.

Jo is there whenever you need her and her support, encouragement and motivation is exceptional to keep you set on your goals and succeed in what ever challenge your facing.

Jo's intuition into how you are feeling is endearing and she makes you feel safe. Tailoring the programme to your needs and presenting you with challenges to push you out of your comfort zone is what builds an amazing relationship. Her techniques to increase self esteem and get rid of emotions and habits that no longer serve you are a life changer.

Jo also introduced me to the SAH method of moving, breathing, meditation and most importantly affirmations, which I can honestly say is an unbelievably uplifting and empowering experience. It is one of the best methods I have undertaken to becoming a more grounded, more free and spirited self.

Jo is a fantastic, energetic and deeply caring person, on her programmes she will make you stronger and give you the confidence to enable you to be a happier you.

So wherever you are around the world, Jo is your first step to becoming the real person you deserve to be and unlock your magic.

“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!…

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.

If you’re reading these testimonials, then you’re probably considering your relationship with alcohol. Maybe you’re even thinking of working with Jo and going sober. Maybe you have a few doubts - do I really want to give up booze? Is it really that much of a problem? - but you’re here on this page, thinking about it - which says a lot…

I was you once - doing exactly the same thing. And I say take the plunge - go for it!

I’d reached my 46th birthday and had a horrible realisation that I’d been using alcohol as a social crutch for 30 years. Even though it made me miserable and anxious, I couldn’t imagine life without booze. Surely it would be boring. Surely I would be boring.

Then I heard Jo telling her story on a podcast. And she was FUN and interesting and full of joy. Her sober life wasn’t boring - it sounded like a life I wanted. With confidence and energy and really great skin! I knew instinctively that this was the person I needed to help me go sober.

Jo has done that and so much more…

“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.”

“Jo coached me for a number of months during 2022, and I wanted to write a testimonial to recommend her coaching.

The issues that made me unhappy and low at the time the coaching began were concerned with the toxic relationship that had developed between myself and one of my daughters, who has mental health problems, including ADHD. Jo was able to use her own experience of ADHD to help me adjust my behaviour to be more tolerant and to find compromises with my daughter.

I can honestly say that I would no longer…
