Jo came into my life at just the right time. I was the most vulnerable and weak I had ever been – after losing a twin pregnancy after 3 years and 16 rounds of IVF.
I knew I needed to break down to build myself back up and attended a retreat to focus on getting active and eating well when Jo suggested I needed to give myself a mental break as well.
I was expecting someone to tell me to lose weight, drink less, move and sleep more, but instead Jo said I needed to be kind to myself. It was in this conversation I gave myself that permission. Over 5 days Jo helped me to experience my pain and to let go of my experience so I could again become optimistic about the potential of becoming a mother.
In the end it was a balance of physical health and mental wellbeing that saw that dream come true only months after. I am forever thankful for Jo’s insight, but also her caring nature – when I really needed it.
