In early 2022, even though outwardly everything seemed to be going well, I was really struggling with a sense of overwhelm and being stuck. Jo took the time to get to know me and held space for me. The monthly sessions were where I was able to work through a lot of long held beliefs and feelings, but it was the ‘homework’ and weekly check-ins that were so beneficial. It not only let me know that she was there supporting me, but also gave me the momentum and push I needed some times to keep going. I think I always wanted someone to ‘fix me’ because the work always felt too hard. And it really was icky at times, addressing lots of the beliefs that I had held about myself for so long. The negative self-talk overrode things quite often. But as time went on and the work continued, I can’t explain it but I started to feel lighter, more relaxed, more at ease. I was enjoying things more, consciously choosing things that supported my emotional and physical wellbeing and treating myself with more compassion. I have always lived so much in my head, staying in my comfort zone for fear of being judged, afraid of truly being myself and essentially holding myself back. Jo helped me to address all of those patterns I was repeating in order to protect myself which ultimately was a positive and uplifting experience – her gentle guidance really helped me to feel supported in exploring the many things that were holding me back. I am so proud of where and who I am now! I’m feeling so much more confident and strong in myself and my abilities, enjoying life, work and my family so much more, and my husband says that he can definitely see the difference. It’s not perfect 100% of the time and it’s still a work in progress, but I feel fantastic!
