Internal Healing with Jo

About

All offerings catered to Youth, Families, care givers and couples seeking support, understanding and compassion.

Working with me is more than talk therapy. Talk therapy is the crucial foundation of awareness and understanding around your story, but it doesn’t heal underlying patterns and emotional wounds that are driving your current thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I bring long lasting transformation and healing that goes beyond treating surface symptoms.
Talk therapy works with the intellectual mind on a conscious level. I work with both the conscious and subconscious mind together, bringing both awareness and real lasting change.

1. Uncovering stress stored in the body
2. Uncovering and rewire deep-seated beliefs and thought patterns that stem from past experiences that are driving your daily thoughts, feelings and
behavioral patterns that you want to positively change
3. Understanding the underlying issues, letting it go, and allowing you to feel whole and balanced

Exploring past experiences from early childhood or significant life events restores self-control, deepens self-awareness, and resolves long-standing patterns. This journey brings the lasting change you've been seeking, resulting in meaningful and transformative outcomes.

These positive changes and outcomes bring an emotional connection with yourself, within families, your children and your relationships.


MY STORY:
A Somatic Therapist, Mental Health Mentor, mother, partner, and grandmother in a beautiful, blended family.

I work holistically to support individuals, parents, and young people through the deeply personal and often generational work of healing, connection, and growth.

My own journey has been one of transformation. I carry many beautiful memories from my childhood and teenage years, and I feel immense gratitude for those early chapters of life.

In my mid-to-late twenties, I was blessed to become a mother - a life changing experience that shifted my focus entirely to my home and family.

Like many parents, I believed that being a ‘good’ mum and partner meant putting everyone else’s needs before my own. I didn’t realise at the time how disconnected I was becoming from myself.

As parenting challenges emerged and I began feeling more overwhelmed, fear and anxiety crept in. I tried to control and “fix” everything around me, but the more I did, the more resistance and shutdown I experienced from my children. I was exhausted, constantly doubting myself, and carrying the heavy weight of guilt and shame. I love my children deeply, but I felt like I was failing not just them, but myself.

The truth is, we’re not given a manual for parenting or navigating life’s challenging moments. And like many, I realised I had no idea how to truly support myself, let alone guide my children through their own emotional experiences.

That realisation sparked the beginning of my healing journey.

I committed to learning, unlearning, and reconnecting with myself. I explored somatic therapy, mental health education, and inner child work. I learned to re-parent myself, regulate my nervous system, and create space for compassion and curiosity, not just for others, but for me.

As I healed, everything around me began to shift. My relationship with myself deepened, my parenting softened, and our family dynamic became more connected and supportive. This transformation is what led me here, to Internal Healing with Jo.

Today, I offer my lived experience, knowledge, and holistic approach to support parents, young people, families, and the wider community. Fostering deeper connection, greater understanding, and emotional balance.

My work is grounded in helping others feel seen, heard, and empowered. Because when we heal ourselves, we change the way we relate to the world around us. And that kind of healing ripples outward into our homes, our communities, and across generations.
