Thank you Jo. I was really struggling with my girls anxiety leading into Year 7. It’s was all coming out in anger and bickering. So hard to manage. Your kind, simple explanations and activities have helped them understand how their brains work. How it’s ok to feel a lot of these emotions, accept them, challenge them and access their rational brain again to solve things. They are calmer, more confident and considered now. I think all children would be lucky to have sessions with you.

Jo has worked with our family on several occasions with child centred and individually tailored sessions. They have greatly helped our child with their emotional needs and have helped us as parents to have a better understanding and given us lots of ideas to implement in our everyday family life. Thank you Jo!

What Jo teaches should be on the school curriculum! Her 1-2-1 sessions opened up our whole families to a new and calmer way of life, we can not thank her enough. It is a wonderful experience to increase your child’s exposure to relaxation and wellbeing techniques that will last them a lifetime.

I really enjoyed relax with Jo. I found it very calming and fun. One thing I specifically liked was when we were able to create our own games for the session. I’d really recommend it to anyone especially someone looking for something fun and relaxing to do.

Thank you for your help too, it helps me to have a focus and understand how I can best support her at home too.
I’m so glad we found you, you really do make a difference

Dear Jo,
I am truly thankful and we will miss you. I wish you well – you are such an amazing human being xxx

Thanks very much for the help you have given R, E and myself over the last year.
Just to say we will be practicing the skills we have learnt with Rupert at home. And he is currently using his monster emotions book.
Thanks very much again for your excellent help, and we will keep recommending you to friends

Jo was/ is absolutely incredible with our son, he absolutely loved going to her sessions. Jo helped us to understand him better and why he might be responding the way he did to situations giving us different strategies to try with him. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about what she does and we always felt she genuinely cared about him and helping him find his way in the world. We would not hesitate to recommend Jo.

Our daughter initially had 1:1 sessions with Jo and then joined the relax with Jo community class. She enjoyed her weekly sessions and learnt a variety of techniques to help her to deal with anxiety, confidence, resilience, and how to manage emotional outbursts. She loved all the props that Jo introduced each week and was keen to come home and tell me what she had learnt. Jo is a fab teacher and was always available to discuss any issues and do home visits where needed. The outcome of this programme is that we now have a child who is more confident, able to deal better with the pressures and expectations of school, issues with her peers, accepting boundaries etc.. we still have the occasional meltdown but she now has the tools to deal with them. Thanks Jo.

I have worked with Jo in the past and she is a wonderful, kind, caring and supportive teacher. She has a wonderful passion for helping children and understands the importance of emotional self-care and teaching children to look after themselves. Definitely recommend!

Jo has been absolutely fabulous and has really supported my daughter who has suffered during lockdown. Thank you so much for all your help – we will definitely stay in touch!

Our son recently completed a course with Jo. He really enjoyed it and found the techniques taught to be very helpful. I’m sure these will be life skills and I would highly recommend Jo and her classes.

I worked with Jo in a primary school setting for many years, and she is such a lovely lady. Jo is so nurturing and caring; she always takes time to get to know each individual child and understand their specific needs. Her enthusiasm is infectious! I would highly recommend Relax with Jo

Our son has loved Jo’s classes.
We’ve seen a big improvement in his ability to handle emotions as well.
Jo is professional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and above all, very kind.
I would thoroughly recommend Jo and her classes, either 121 or a community class
