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…

“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…

“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.

“One of the things I liked about Jo as a coach is her energy. She listens with empathy, whilst helping you see through the emotion with a natural galvanised energy that can quickly move you forward. We met on a weekly basis whilst keeping in contact between sessions, helping to remind me of what I needed to do and made me feel cared for and a priority…”
