Jo was inspired to pursue her chosen career by Baan Nit, an 87-year-old grandmother who taught her traditional Thai Massage in Thailand in 1994.
Since then Jo has obtained professional qualifications in Swedish Remedial Massage, Aromatherapy and Reflexology.
After several years in practice, Jo trained for a further 3 years on a full time BSc (Hons) Traditional Chinese Medicine: Acupuncture Course at the University of Westminster. This training allowed her to integrate her knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and clinical diagnostic skills.
Following her graduation she completed further clinical Acupuncture training at various hospitals in HangZhou, China.
On her return to London she studied for a further two years at The University of Westminster on the Post Graduate Degree course in Chinese Herbal Medicine, gaining a first class distinction. During this time she also spent one month in clinical training in Australia with Jane Lyttleton and Steven Clavey who specialise in Chinese Gynaecology and Infertility.
Gynaecology and Obstetrics are areas of particular interest for her. She conducted some research which asked British women what treatments they perceived to be effective for PMS symptoms. She has written articles on the findings for Positive Health (Nov 2000), and the National Association of Premenstrual Syndrome (NAPS).
In recent years she has completed a year's course in Neuro linguistic Programming (NLP), with International training Seminars UK, which she finds particularly useful in combination with acupuncture for food, and alcohol addictions.
In 2007 she completed another study in HangZhou, China and in 2008 achieved a distinction for her Master of Science (MSc) in Chinese Medicine in which she investigated the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine for male infertility treatment.
In 2009 Jo trained as a hypno-birthing practitioner which enables her to offer a continuum of support for pregnant mothers during labour and birth, reflecting her ongoing committment to all aspects of women's health care.
