​

With three decades of experience in wellness, Jo is a seasoned practitioner, senior manager, trainer, and consultant who has worked extensively across Europe and Asia.

 

After completing her Holistic Therapies diploma in 1995, Jo established a successful private practice in West London, garnering media attention including features in multiple publications, a Sky documentary, and radio appearances. She furthered her expertise with a BSc in Health Science & Complementary Therapies from the University of Westminster in 2000, focusing on herbal medicine, aromatherapy, and bodywork. During this time, she also deepened her practice through intensive study with a healer, integrating intuition and energy work into her therapeutic approach.

 

From 2001 to 2005, Jo worked in Southeast Asia as a spa consultant, launching a network of spas for a luxury hotel chain. This period allowed her to immerse herself in Eastern healing traditions, meditation practices, and philosophies, with extensive travel throughout India, Burma, and Thailand.

 

Following the birth of her child in Paris in 2006, Jo worked in private practice in Paris and Amsterdam, blending Eastern and Western therapeutic approaches. Upon returning to London, she co-founded Tonic in 2010 – a multi-disciplined holistic wellness practice offering personalised treatment programs combining medical herbalism, aromatherapy, massage, nutrition, healing and yoga for adults and children.

 

Jo continues to expand her expertise, completing a BSc (Hons) in Herbal Medicine in 2014 and advanced yoga teacher training in 2022. Her corporate experience includes working with various brands in directorial and creative roles, where she has contributed to business planning, restructuring, concept development, treatment and product design, and marketing strategies.

 

She currently balances consultancy work with private practice, maintaining professional memberships with the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH), Federation of Holistic Therapies (FHT), Yoga Alliance Professionals (YAP), and the University of Westminster Alumni Association.
