Hello, I’m Joanna.
I am a certified yoga teacher, Thai Massage practitioner and Gestalt (relational/somatic/existential) Therapist in training.
What brings you here today? I’m here to support you if you’re looking to deepen your inner awareness, soothe your nervous system and feel more ease and aliveness in your body.
Moving through this increasingly impersonal, fast-paced, uncertain, technological age can leave us feeling drained, wound up, and at a distance from our own breath and body. The loss of this distance is real. We lose the capacity and practical knowledge of how to access to the support we have built into our bodies. We may also struggle to hear our own inner voice; the voice of our heart’s most meaningful desires and intentions.
Everyone needs support to flourish. We need support through relationship with others and support that comes from deep within ourselves
I’m inspired to offer healing somatic practices that serve as an antidote, supporting you to heighten your awareness of your own felt sense, your own body’s wisdom. I want to pass on the years of teaching I have received to soothe your nervous system, create space and ease in your body and enliven your vitality
Reap the powerful benefits of deepening your connection to your breath and body.
“Jo’s yoga classes provide a deep and beautiful experience and have had a big influence on me. I have literally implemented a new way to feel and appreciate my own body.
She is articulate and sets an atmosphere that creates an opportunity for me to explore my inner self. I am grateful for the knowledge Jo conveys and highly recommend her classes!”
~ Philippe Beer Gabel
“My Thai Massage experience with Jo was exactly what my body, mind and spirit were craving. Jo moved my body in ways I haven’t since I was a child. With the support of breath work, which I learnt and practice weekly at yoga with Jo, it was possible for me to release stagnant energy in parts of my body I felt pain. I felt connected and relaxed all at the same time.
Jo has deep wisdom on breath, mind, body and spirit. She invokes peace within me.”
~ Harman Kapadia
“With Jo’s guidance, I get to uncover all the parts of my physical and emotional self that need focus and attention.
Doing yoga with Jo is like having a scared part of you fall into a safety net. I am wrapped in a warm embrace and brought back to my centre every time.
I love her tender voice and her soothing touch. She has a way of creating a space of connection amongst others.”
