​Your Nutrition and Health Coach

Hi, I'm Jo,
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am an Oxfordshire-based, certified Nutrition and Health Coach, and an explorer of food markets at home and overseas. I'm about to turn fifty, and love comedy (think Victoria Wood), enjoy my yoga and strength training, and getting out for long walks in nature in the English countryside.  I am a bookworm at heart, who learned the hard way in mid life that my body is not simply a transportation system for the brain.  I had to learn how to take care of it.  I am now dedicated to educating and helping women to manage their health challenges, so that they can get thriving again and start savouring the moment, with restored energy to do the things they really love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know what it's like to worry about your health, to have a chronic condition, and be left feeling unwell and confused as to the best way forward.  My health journey has taken me on years of research on health, nutrition and lifestyle, so I could understand how best to support myself.  I drew on my experiences of preventative health whilst living in Japan twenty years earlier (and goodness I miss the food and those hot springs!).  I trained as an accredited Nutrition and Health Coach, studying at the International Institute of Nutritional Health.  Over time, the education, knowledge and tools I gained, and the steady, paced changes I made to my own nutrition and lifestyle habits have transformed my health, self-acceptance and confidence.  I've become passionate about food as medicine, and the interplay of stress, rest and movement.  I am devoted to working with people on a better way forward. 
   
Together, we will attend to what really matters to you.  There will be no fad diets, wellness gimmicks, hype or unhelpful overload.  We will work on gentle but radical shifts to fit the reality of your schedule and goals. 

So I'm right here for you.  I am looking forward to working with you, sharing my knowledge, staying grounded for you in the tough moments, and seeing you thriving again, on your own terms, in a way that works just for you.
