What children say about working with Jo...
Testimonials
“
Jo came in to deliver her Paws b sessions to our Year 6 children as part of their Mindfulness module and she was a huge hit. The sessions are fun and informative and the children always leave with strategies and ideas that they can use themselves at home. I think these sessions are of huge benefit to both children and adults and cannot recommend them highly enough. Jo has a lovely manner with the children and we look forward to having her back in next year.

Jo has been working with us since 2015. Her Relax Kids classes are hugely popular. She has a wonderful relationship with the children and they all thoroughly enjoy the sessions.

We have noticed a phenomenal change in our son since Jo has been seeing him for 1:1 sessions. His confidence and self-esteem have improved considerably and he is far less anxious. We can't recommend her enough, thank you Jo for all your amazing work!

Jo's Mindfulness course was just what I needed in order to bring more balance into my life. I was experiencing lots of negative voices coupled with a change of direction in my life and the methods that she taught have helped enormously. By putting things in perspective and giving us simple, practical tools with which to tackle our thoughts and emotions is something everyone can learn and benefit from. You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by attending her course.

The Paws b course has been a very helpful and positive experience for the children, especially as they have been preparing for secondary school.

Jo, our Relax Kids trainer, has delivered sessions at Oaktree since July 2017. The children had an opportunity to practice deep tummy breathing, massage and meditation. Jo tailored her sessions to our weekly topics. This was very exciting for the children and really captured their imagination and interest deepening their understanding of the topics. For example, the children were encouraged to use their senses to explore objects inspired by our topic story 'The Queen's Handbag' or enjoyed rides on 'magic trains' and went on many other journeys.
The sessions were always calm and delivered in a lovely manner, encouraging the children to become aware of their own emotions, as well as others' feelings. I was particularly impressed with the children asking each other for permission before giving each other a massage and Jo always encouraged the children to share, take turns and treat each other with kindness during the sessions.

My 6 year old tells me his favourite part of his week is Relax Kids. Jo is so calming and welcoming that my reticent boy felt instantly at ease, and comes bounding out after each session filled with confidence and enthusiasm. I would thoroughly recommend Relax Kids without hesitation!

Jo led the course with great insight and understanding. She gave us exercises that were both engaging and achievable. Jo has helped me to change the rhythm of my daily life and I am so thankful to her.
