Testimonials

"I cannot recommend Jo enough! I came to her with a history of stomach ulcers and persistent gut issues, and through her guidance, my health has completely transformed. My ulcers are completely gone, and so many of my symptoms have improved. Not only do I feel so much better, but I also have a better understand of my body and what I put into it. Her approach is holistic, personalized, and incredibly effective. She truly understands how to support gut health in a way that is sustainable and empowering. If you’re struggling with digestive issues or just want to feel your best, she is the one to see!."

"I wanted to kick start 2025 with some nutritional and life-style changes;  the Body in Balance course proved to be just what I needed. Jo is an excellent presenter with a through subject knowledge.

From the first session we were able to make practical changes and by week six, friends were commenting on seeing  visible results in me.

I'd recommend the course to anyone keen to improve their or their families health through natural means"

"Jo is incredibly knowledgeable and helped me see how everything in life—food, sleep, hormones, exercise, and mental health

affects my overall well-being.

The classes and the community she created were warm, encouraging, and inclusive, which made every session enjoyable. Her recipes are not only healthy but also absolutely delicious.

I learned so much, and she helped me make some changes in my daily habits, with more to come. It was a great experience, and I’m really grateful to have joined her course!

"Jo is a wealth of knowledge and I've learned so much in the past 2 months. Her recipes are amazing and I really enjoyed trying out new things. I loved all the delicious treats and snacks she gives us in class! The program is practical with lots of small and easy changes that can be implemented right away as well as better supplementation.

I appreciated our 1:1 call before the program and the insights provided based on my bloodwork results. It was great to meet other women and be part of a community."

"After having been through a health journey over the past few years after my hashimoto diagnosis, I felt that I was on a good path. The issue has been that I kept getting mixed messages from various sources and was excited when I heard about the course.

I really felt I received answers to many of my questions and now feel much more confident about my future plan of action and results. In the short time, I have already noticed some clear results and feel confident that I'm doing the right thing with my body and general health without taking any dramatic action"

"I loved it! The body in balance course was unlike anything I’d seen being offered; it was a great way for me to do a full audit and look at all aspects of my lifestyle to see what more I could do to live better.

Going into the programme I knew mostly what to eat, how to exercise etc but I was pleasantly surprised how many new, small, meaningful changes I could explore and incorporate to kick it up a gear.

I learnt to see how my whole body functioned as a sort of machine and what bits were impacting others and how I could intervene

to enhance my overall sense of well-being.

It’s said that every woman should have a really good idea of their baseline bloods at 40 to start preparing them for the inevitable forthcoming changes. I loved having my bloods done and seeing,

in real data, what my body was telling me.

​

Maybe I hadn’t been listening enough over the past few years but I feel more confident now where my challenges lie

and also where my strengths are.

​

As a course leader, Jo is empathetic, passionate and endlessly motivating. Each week, in no particular order, I looked forward to the tasty treats (really) and the wonderful camaraderie of a group of likeminded individuals coming together to share ideas, stories and have a laugh along the way.

Jo has build an amazing community. Once the program ends there are walks, talks… it’s all there to keep you going in the right direction. A great experience all round, thank you Jo!"

"I discovered Jo’s ‘Body in Balance’ program through a recommendation, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed. After menopause, I was struggling with low energy, poor sleep, and persistent weight issues. Jo’s in-depth analysis of my blood profile was eye-opening; she explained the underlying issues affecting my body and offered practical solutions to restore my health. I was surprised to learn that my intense weekly workouts were actually detrimental to my well-being and was given advice on what I should be doing to help my stress levels and bone health.

The program provided invaluable insights into cortisol levels, hormonal changes, gut health, and mindfulness. Unlike the overwhelming and often conflicting information I had encountered online, Jo’s course offered clear, evidence-based guidance. The content is well-structured, delivered in manageable segments, and comes with comprehensive notes and practical tools to help establish beneficial habits.

One of the standout features of this program is its supportive community. The shared experiences and advice from fellow participants have been incredibly helpful, and the coffee meet-ups and walks have allowed me to forge new friendships. It’s been a wonderful way to connect with others and enhance my journey to better health."

"I'm thrilled to share my incredible experience with Jo, a dedicated and knowledgeable functional medicine coach. Working with Jo has been a game-changer for my health and wellbeing. Her personalised approach and expertise helped me identify and address underlying issues that were impacting my energy, digestion, and general quality of life, with some issues being long standing that I had just ignored as life got in the way.

Through Jo's guidance, I've gained a deeper understanding of my body and implemented (and still trying to implement) sustainable lifestyle changes that have led to significant improvements in my overall health. Her compassion, support, and encouragement made the journey enjoyable and empowering and as part of the Body In Balance cohort, I got to meet a great community of ladies as well.

"I had a fantastic experience with the Body in Balance Group Programme. I truly enjoyed engaging with the women in the cohort. The lessons provided invaluable insights into food intolerances that I hadn’t fully grasped before, and I’m already noticing a significant boost in my energy levels after making changes to my diet. The combination of informative sessions and practical exercises was incredibly useful and engaging.

Additionally, Jo proved to be an exceptional resource, offering helpful advice and support throughout. I find that the community chat is another helpful resource for my on-going questions.

After Having experienced multiple practitioners across UK and Singapore I can vouch for the fact that Jo brings Great experience, expertise & sharp insights Including the “ care & courage “ to call out what matters ! She does not round you with data or overwhelm you with multiplicity of contradictory points . 

She is an excellent “puzzle piecer” who goes beyond linear / one dimensional lenses often Adopted by conventional doctors and nutritionists. Another quality I admire about her is her diligence her follow-through and always making time for her clients. I can’t recommend her enough. As a CEO myself I can be distracted, impatient and often overwhelmed to Make time for myself. Jo somehow always makes time for me and gets through to me and influences me to put my health and well-being top of the list. She is a keeper."

"Meeting Jo completely changed my life. 
Not only is she a very warm, kind and understanding human being, Jo is exceptionally knowledgeable on her subject matter.

She changed my life for the better when I was at my wits end. Endless rounds of consultations and medication from doctors,

and I was getting no better.

I started Jo’s ‘Body in Balance’ course and immediately saw results. 
She changed my understanding of what my body needed to function. 

The course itself is a wealth of information about how to look after yourself, and listening to your body. 
I can not recommend Body in Balance highly enough."

"Jo brings an exceptional level of enthusiasm and knowledge to her functional health coaching programme. She's clearly highly knowledgeable about complex concepts around the many different factors that influence our health. As a functional health newbie, I appreciated how Jo always translated this into understandable, practical, and actionable advice in her teaching as well as in private conversations.

​

Jo immediately created a safe space within the group which has continued through regular overall and personalised support. Throughout the process she has been positive and upbeat, encouraging us all to continuously make improvements and has celebrated our wins while supporting us through the inevitable bumps in the road. A side bonus was the little network of friends and advocates that she brought together.

Despite being in a group programme, I loved that Jo always took the time to consider each of us and our unique situations individually and tailored her advice accordingly. This level of care and attention, along with her inspiring energy, has really helped maintain the momentum within the group. Jo clearly cares passionately about  empowering people as effortlessly as possible to make the necessary changes they need to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.

This programme is a great starting point for anyone feeling overwhelmed with all the things we are "supposed" to do, cuts through the myths and trendy fads, and creates a manageable roadmap to create lasting change."

"The biggest challenge with adopting a healthier lifestyle is knowing where to start. It’s not from a lack of information but an overload of too much contradictory information.

​

The beauty of Body in Balance and Jo’s style is to strip it back to basics.

What do we need to know to make good decisions?

​

We need to understand hormones, toxicity, insulin and gut health and what affects them and why.  When you understand the why,

it makes the what easier.

​

On top of the excellent information delivered verbally and on worksheets, there are great recipes shared as well as free advice on supplements and where to buy certain foods.

​

The group setting is great as you no longer feel like you are struggling alone. It’s a safe space to be vulnerable and get support not just from

Jo but your cohort.

​

If you are looking to shift your lifestyle to a healthier one, and arm yourself with science based information in a friendly and

supportive session this is for you"

"I wanted a programme that would dispel diet / healthy food myths and support me through peri and menopause. Having Been a yo-yo dieter for decades i was looking for a slow, intelligent science based sustainable programme which focuses on a gentle shift into healthier lifestyle and nutritional habits that support me and my family. Jos first hand knowledge and passion for health is incredible. I’ve loved the community support too. Can’t recommend this programme enough"

"I thoroughly enjoyed the body in balance course as it was very informative, fun, and rewarding! I lost nearly 4 kilos in 6 weeks which I have struggled to lose for a very long time. I now make my own kombucha and kefir, and have made some lovely friendships in the process. Jo is extremely knowledgeable in her field and her enthusiasm and positivity is infectious. The experience for me was quite life changing as I have a greater understanding of my body, have more energy, and also a healthier relationship with food.  This in turn will help me to achieve my target weight, but also a healthier lifestyle in general. Thanks so much Jo."

"Choosing to embark on Jo's 'Body in Balance' program was a transformative decision, despite my initial concerns stemming from my various allergies and intolerances. Right from the start, Jo's accommodating approach addressed my worries, ensuring an enjoyable and secure journey. Her informative sessions not only expanded my knowledge but also provided unwavering support,

setting me on a path of remarkable change.

The WhatsApp group formed a vital support network, where Jo's unfaltering kindness and enthusiasm were a cornerstone of my experience. She cultivated a non-judgmental and secure environment for sharing personal experiences, nurturing personal growth.

Jo provided practical advice and consistent follow-up to maintain my commitment during significant lifestyle changes.

The program's impact has extended beyond improved health and energy; it has instilled self-discipline and mindfulness. I now approach life holistically, attentively listening to my body and making conscious choices.

It's a genuinely empowering journey. I am profoundly grateful for the positive impact Jo's program has had on my well-being and recommend it to anyone seeking a profound, positive change."

"After putting on weight & neglecting myself throughout the Covid Years, I’d developed some bad eating habits & wasn’t feeling good in my body or mind !

Nothing worked – until I reached out to Jo and booked a series of Body Balance sessions.  I learned immediately that – working with Jo was one of the smartest and best investments I’d made in a long while. Jo is patient, caring and above all knowledgeable.  She customizes each session with suggestions specifically covering all aspects of health & wellbeing. Her program is not a magic wand – it’s a lifestyle change but a change for the better. 

I haven’t felt more energized and happy in a long time – I’ve lost some weight (gradually but have kept it off) and changed many bad habits.  Jo teaches you nutrition, meal plans, with suggested recipes, stress relievers, exercise to best suit you & methods to enhance and improve sleep.

I highly recommend Jo – and I look forward to meeting with her again for follow ups on my progress."

"I was a little apprehensive about joining Jo's "Body in Balance" programme, having never done anything similar before.  However, by the end of one session, I felt determined enough to give it a real go. 

Jo's sessions were very informative, and her recipes brilliant. Having a whatsapp group to exchange recipes and ask questions was invaluable, and as the weeks went on, we did become close as a group.  I was not expecting that!  Jo's enthusiasm and kindness knew no bounds, any question was never too trivial to be answered by her.  I really felt that I had her support throughout my change of food and drink mindset, and feel so much healthier and energetic as a result."
