A country gal at heart, Jo was raised in the shadow of Australia’s Snowy Mountains. She moved east with her family, and at twenty left home for Sydney, answering life’s firm push by diving deep into the psychology and embodiment of love — body, heart, and spirit.

Guided by Tibetan Mahayana Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Zen sensei Michael Hatchett, Buddhist monks and nuns, tantric and hatha yoga masters like Tina Nance, Tanya Kaps and intimacy & relationship expert Michaela Boehm, she learned that true receptivity is not mere softness, but a quiet power that magnetises rather than forces.

A weaver of stories and seeker of truths, Jo has walked beside an eclectic tapestry of souls: embodiment sages, breastfeeding mothers, Swazi tribeswomen, scientists, movie stars, business leaders, Malawian witchdoctors, Persian bellydancers, children and those young at heart.

She has facilitated and managed wellness teams at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat, and served as nervous system regulation specialist for Dr Libby across Australia and New Zealand. Jo lived in Bali for a decade, performing rituals with the High Priestess Ida Resit, and working with Asia’s largest wellness destination Centre - The YogaBarn. Guided by Arnhem Land and Bundjalung Nation Elders, she has walked ancient country, learning bush medicine and women’s lore. She has stood beneath waning moons in the Scottish highlands, locked eyes with wild gorillas in Uganda, and watched moose lick salt by Canadian roadsides.

Through marriage and parting, motherhood, joy and heartbreak, she has tasted the full spectrum of existence. Every encounter has folded into her craft: her deep background in yoga, psychology, and Postgraduate qualifications in Sex Education, Sex & Couple Therapy, and a Professional Master’s in Clinical Sexology from Newcastle and Curtin Universities.

Her wisdom has illuminated pages and airwaves in Elephant, The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, The New Zealand Herald, Lizzie Turner Presents and Bali Modern Women magazine.

Today, as an integrative sexologist, counsellor, embodiment teacher, energy healer, and writer, Jo offers 35 years of wisdom — where land, sexuality, nervous system, hormones, and lineage breathe as one.

Plain-spoken and deeply compassionate, expertise drawn from science to spirit, Jo speaks it out now, low and steady, like she's guiding you home.
