One-on-One Testimonials
I have been very fortunate to work with so many lovely clients since I started helping people attain their health and fitness goals. Here are a few of their comments.
"I am so grateful to have connected with Jo. Initially, I came with concerns regarding my journey with perimenopause and it was the deeper knowledge that Jo was able to provide me that gave me hope that I didn’t have to settle for the norm of suffering through this time. As I began implementing changes I became aware of an underlying self-sabotage when it came to certain food where I found myself repeating old patterns over and over again. I found I wasn’t able to identify what I deemed healthy and that when I thought of healthy for me, it was linked to isolation and overwhelm. With Jo’s NLP skillset we had a couple of deep sessions to identify the root causes and from this I have since implemented healthier habits and have a greater self confidence that I can make these changes long term. Not only do I feel better, but I am also losing weight and my blood sugar and cholesterol are reducing.
In addition, for my family, I have relied on Jo’s expertise to discuss things about my teenage children around sleep, and potential food allergies and intolerances and my husband has had important checkin with his bloods. All things that we tend to leave too long and only have one view from our GP. I find having Jo’s expertise combined with our GP has provided confidence that we all know what we can do to be healthier long term.
I would highly recommend Jo to anyone at any stage in their health journey, for themselves and their family. Jo has a beautiful, non-judgemental way of helping you address your concerns around health, nutrition and wellbeing. Thank you Jo."
Caryn, One on One & NLP sessions, Mar to date
"I had the privilege of working with Jo for 1:1 health coaching, and I couldn't recommend her more highly! Her approach is incredibly thorough and tailored. She started with a comprehensive review of my blood work, which gave me invaluable insights into my health. From there, she crafted a personalised plan that included practical dietary recommendations and a bespoke exercise routine, all designed to fit my lifestyle and goals.
What stood out most was Jo’s depth of knowledge and her genuine care. She took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I felt confident and empowered to make changes. Since working with her, I’ve felt a significant improvement in my energy levels, overall wellbeing, and confidence in managing my health.
If you’re looking for a health coach who is professional, empathetic, and truly invested in helping you thrive, Jo is the one to go to!"
Elizabeth, One on One & NLP sessions, Aug to date
"I started working with Jo about 8 months ago. When I met her for the first time, I had high inflammation markers, constant inexplicable nausea, anxiety, brain fog, and terrible mood swings.
We did a full panel of blood work, and she was super good at explaining my results and deficiencies. We also did a DUTCH test, and with the results, Jo was able to come up with a customised plan to help me. We started with a gut cleanse and then progressed to adding supplements to address my deficiencies. Jo was very patient with me and responded to every single question I had.
8 months on I feel like a new human being. I haven't felt this great in over a decade now. My energy levels are amazing, I sleep super well and no more night sweats.... yeah! Jo for me is been a life saviour. I can't recommend her enough."
Shweta, One-on-One Health Coaching, March 24 to current date
"Jo transformed my son’s health, digging deep into her incredibly diverse bag of tricks, to get him back to his normal self. We saw a tired, disengaged and spaced out boy, who was not doing well at school and constantly tired, regain his clarity of mind and energy levels. He used to say he felt like he wasn’t in the room and now, with a customised diet and a few key supplements, he’s back! As a parent, I was defeated and exhausted by it all and Jo also provided me with the support I needed to push through and keep the programme on track."
Jude, One-on-One Health Coaching August 2023 to February 2024
"I cannot recommend Jo enough! She has truly helped me transform my lifestyle for the better. I came to her with a range of physical and psychological issues that no one could quite pinpoint the cause of. I had almost lost hope, but I must say that from our very first meeting, I knew I was in good hands, and I knew that my struggle would be over soon.
Jo took the time to address every single one of my concerns thoroughly and fully accommodate my needs. She focused on uncovering the root cause of my issues rather than simply treating the symptoms with different medications, which was an approach I had previously been misled into.
What I particularly loved about Jo’s approach was her commitment to ensuring I understood everything every step of the way. She ensured I was fully informed and comfortable with what was happening and even explained the science behind everything.
Overall, Jo guided me in building a sustainable lifestyle, and her expert knowledge and thorough and holistic approach have changed my life for the better. Thanks to her, I feel more energized, balanced, and healthy. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and knows how to make lasting changes, Jo is the one to turn to!"
Nalin, One-on-One Health Coaching November 2023 to January 2024
Jo did a very thorough review for me and provided some extremely helpful revelations and insights way beyond the capacity of my doctor. She is highly qualified, very well researched and professional, and her recommendations are all science-based. I recommend investing in sessions with Jo if you are serious about optimising your health - you won’t regret it.
Jo, Health Analysis April 2024
"I worked with Jo over a long period of time and I appreciate Jo's approach to using data and lab tests to set a baseline that is evidence based. She has the patience, knowledge and experience which helped me resolve long term gut issues and I'm able to live more balanced and enjoying myself more, eating smart and optimising my health.
Having a practitioner that has also gone through the journey is a big plus because she knows what she's talking about. I have recommended her services to my friends and trust in her methods. Many many thanks Jo!"
Marc, One-on-One Health Coaching July 2023 to May 2024
"If you’re looking to find out what’s going on with your body and want to make long term sustainable changes to improve your life Jo is your lady! Passionate about helping others make positive change, full of energy and an expert at what she does.
Jo really helped me to understand my body more and treat it better! I highly recommend Jo for her professionalism and expertise, but also because she’s a supportive, enthusiastic and fun person to work with- thank you Jo."
Susannah, One-on-One Health Coaching, March to November 2023
"A few months ago my 14 year old daughter started developing some worrying health issues, that included anxiety, panic attacks, dizziness
and racing heart rates.
We found ourselves being passed on from doctor to doctor and test after test without anyone really showing a proper interest in
my daughter or the source of her problems.
I contacted Jo to help us holistically and I must say that
from the first day, we felt in good hands.
After a series of blood tests done by a functional doctor, Jo helped us to establish a healthy gut and better eating habits. Following a comprehensive gut analysis, we discovered several health issues in my daughter,
such as Hashimoto’s disease.
I was initial panicking about having to go gluten and dairy free for my teen, but Jo inspired us with healthy alternative recipes, lots of reassurance and guidance. Jo has a wealth of knowledge and it helped me to know that she has children of her own, who have had health issues in the past.
The diet change wasn’t as hard as we thought and I am happy to say that my daughter is feeling much better, her symptoms
almost completely resolved and she is much happier.
If you are looking to treat your child’s symptoms holistically, then Jo is the right person to help you"
Stephie, One-on-One Health Coaching March to June 2023
"Jo is a wonderful therapist.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto 6 months ago and saw Jo for 4 months. In that time she expertly advised me on dietary changes (AIP) and some supportive supplements to help with nutritional deficiencies to boost my ability to detox and heal.
We carried out a number of tests to find out my root cause.
I feel so much better, physically and mentally and my antibodies have dropped from 1500 to 400! She explains that the way I eat will be a lifestyle for me and really helped me see it’s completely achievable.
I had some low cortisol and sleep issues
and she knew exactly how to help me with this.
She also has an impressive notebook of practitioners and
doctors who she recommends and they were all amazing.
She is always there when you need her, comes to you for most of the appointments in person and checks with you a few times a week!
Highly highly recommend!."
Gaby, One-on-One Health Coaching Jan to May 2023
"Jo's bootcamp is an amazing way for me to keep my strength training and cardio on track. Her infectious energy and motivational spirit keep me pushing harder, all while understanding everyone's limits. The green Kent Ridge surroundings are a bonus, making every Tuesday and Thursday session an uplifting experience. If you're looking for a great bunch of people exercising together under a fantastic trainer in a twice-weekly morning exercise session, it's an excellent option."
Montse, Bootcamp attendee
"I first approached Jo for help after moving to Singapore. My gut health has never been great but worsened with the stress and anxiety of a big move and change of diet and environment.
Jo was caring and empathetic from our first meeting. Her first hand experience and sharing of her personal experiences is so valuable in her teaching. She is non judgmental and total approachable. She creates a safe working relationship where you feel secure to share your own personal experience. Jo is encouraging, provides practical advice and support. She follows up to keep you in track which is so important when making significant lifestyle changes. I like Jo’s holistic approach to her work, she leaves no stone unturned in the journey to help! I have learnt so much from Jo but most importantly the brain gut connection!! I will be forever thankful for her help"
Amy, One-on-One Health Coaching
"I was fortunate enough to come across Jo just at a point when I was struggling with low energy and incremental weight gain that I thought was just part of the ageing process. However Jo helped me to see that I was settling for feeling less than 100% when I didn’t need to be and a simple blood test revealed that I was very low on some of the vital vitamin and minerals that are essential to optimum health and vitality.
I’m so grateful to her for the invaluable help. "
Cat, One-on-One Health Coaching Client
"When I first contacted Jo, I was feeling quite desperate and my Gastroenterologist couldn't treat the cause of my Gastritis because I didn't have an acute issue such as an ulcer or cancer. He just gave me PPI medicine which relieved my symptoms initially but made me feel worse after a while. He didn't try and find out why or how my symptoms were persisting!
So Jo helped me understand why my gastritis kept on reoccurring. She was really easy to get along with and she certainly knows her stuff! She was very patient and really listened.After an in-depth session about my medical history Jo came up with a treatment strategy that I fully bought into as she explained exactly what and why this
course of treatment was recommended.
I worked with Jo for 6 months and my symptoms have abated and I am pain free now! I would definitely recommend Jo to anyone who may be in a similar position."
Sarah-Jane, One on One Health Coaching, Cookery Class & Bootcamp attendee
"I met Jo just after being diagnosed with insulin resistance. I was doing exercise every day but to no effect. I attended her Family Friendly food cookery workshops, her bootcamp classes and her ‘Weigh Less, Live more’ sessions. I learnt a lot because the environments were always friendly and comfortable.It’s been 5 years since the classes and it has had the most lasting outcome to my weight and wellbeing. I’m able to understand my body and relationship with food more.
Jo has a friendly and understanding personality and she was always on hand to help answer questions. I would recommend her as she explains the bigger picture and connects on a personal level, so you don’t feel like a number. Group sessions are always fun, not competitive or somewhere where you feel judged.It was a great experience for me and I loved every minute."
Sarah, Cookery, Weigh less, Live more and Bootcamp Class attendee
"Having been a regular at Jo’s bootcamps pre covid, it was natural that when I started work, I would change to personal training sessions with her. I’m sure she despaired of how much time I spent talking and my continued failure to master a proper burpee, but I so valued her friendship and advice and understanding. We laughed a lot. Jo would always have so many random questions, like how I’m sleeping and how my poo is and whether I get enough selenium or B vitamins or eat enough sea vegetables, because she genuinely cares about your health and wellbeing. Around that time I also tore my Achilles and was in a boot for 5 months, not running for almost a year. I really struggled with being so inactive but Jo devised ways to work out without putting weight on my leg, and I genuinely believe she saved my sanity by doing that. I moaned to her a lot that year and occasionally cried but she was always so positive and utterly inspiring!"
Rebecca, Personal Training Client, 2021
"I was struggling with a number of health issues such as Hashimotos, pre-diabetes, and aching joints and limbs, when I first contacted Jo. I was feeling constantly tired and not in control of my life and my health. Jo was very patient with me and listened carefully, taking a full history of my medical concerns. We took a full set of blood tests to investigate my thyroid levels, hormones, blood sugar, magnesium, and other minerals. She immediately prescribed some supplements that made me feel a lot better and put me in touch with a doctor who could adjust my thyroid medication, which was definitely low.Jo certainly knows her stuff and knows how to tweak things to get optimal results. I feel in a much better place than I was 6 months ago and I know what to do to make myself feel even better. I would definitely recommend Jo if you are having any health concerns."
Natasha, One on One Health Coaching client, 2022
"Jo’s Bootcamp sessions have become an integral part of my weekly routine where I find myself planning life to fit around her sessions. It’s 45 minutes of cardio & strength training where no two sessions are the same. Jo’s Bootcamp has a lovely group of women who support and encourage each other, whilst Jo puts us through our paces.
Jo is one of the best fitness instructors I’ve had the pleasure to exercise with, she is kind but firm, energetic & fun plus a good listener to all. I’d highly recommend giving one of Jo’s Bootcamp sessions a go."
Sarah, Bootcamp attendee 2018 - 2022
