About Jo

I · The practice

Every body has its own story

Illness and imbalance are rarely textbook. History, genetics, environment, diet and emotion all play a part, so my work begins with listening, both clinical and intuitive, before anything is prescribed.

I bring clinical medicine and complementary therapies together in one plan, shaped by what each person tells me and adjusted as they change.
