Your continuing support, encouragement and all the self-supporting tools and strategies you have taught me in this time have empowered me and given me confidence to keep going through some difficult physical and emotional challenges.
Your tender and expert care, both in person and in our online sessions through Lockdown, is a true gift. Thank you so much for embracing working online during the pandemic as this has been, and continues to be, a lifeline for me, especially now I'm in self isolation awaiting a major operation. I come from a science and engineering background and was typically a bit sceptical about shiatsu as I have been about other alternative therapies.
I am very glad I did try shiatsu with Jo. Jo began with the most thorough and detailed medical history I have ever been asked for. I don't think I have ever felt so carefully listened to by any health professional. I was left with the strong sense that Jo cares profoundly about her clients and all their problems - and not just the problem they were originally seeking help with.
This turned out to be very important in my case. Jo's practice is genuinely holistic in approach. I have had a variety of massage therapy over many years including on-site massage. But Shiatsu with Jo is on a whole different level. I feel like Jo can literally read my body and find and work on areas of tension or immobility that no other massage therapist has done before.
The experience is deeply relaxing and healing. As well as massage Jo has given me a lot of advice on posture and stretching exercises I can do on my own to help improve my posture and alignment. The combined effect has been very beneficial. I have become much more conscious of my posture. I now have reduced tension and stiffness and increased mobility throughout my body.
