Yoga with Jo has changed my approach to life: improving the way I stand, perform at my job and virtually eliminating the discomfort I used to experience in daily living. 

Her classes are fun, especially for me, who can be a bit of a bad-boy or class-clown at times; but Jo gently volleys back, bringing everyone back to the “practice,” honoring the benefits that are ripe at-hand, with a little focus and observation. 

Time with her is well spent and one of my most profitable investments.

Jo’s teaching is a meditative yoga for me. The movements are slow and concise keeping in mind my unique body and flow. I feel safe and able to be exactly who I am with no need to keep up with the rest of the class. 

The readings at the end of the session are always thought provoking which brings more focus to my everyday life and how to approach it. My mind is cleared and my body is refreshed after each session.

Jo and I have been friends for several years, a friendship begun and nurtured in her yoga classes. (Jo, by the way, is an excellent and patient yoga teacher!) But I didn’t know what to expect from energy healing.

My husband of more than 30 years was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 6 weeks before his 71st birthday. By his 74th, the disease had progressed to the point that I could no longer care for him at home. We moved him to an excellent memory care residence — Always a man of strong opinions and beliefs, he became unreasonably argumentative, and then very depressed. And it made visits with his daughter, our granddaughter, and with me very painful for all involved.

One evening over a glass of wine, I shared my anxiety and fears about my husband’s emotional well-being. Jo listened, and offered an energy healing for him. She explained the process, and, as my husband was no longer able to understand or make medical decisions for himself, asked my permission to contact my husband’s soul for permission to do the work.

Anxious to ease his burden and relieve his depression, and trusting Jo to deal compassionately with my much-loved spouse, I agreed. Jo later advised me that she was finished, but could not foresee how my husband’s behavior might change.

Several days later, I visited my husband.

As I signed in, the caregiver commented that my husband was “in a better mood” and that he was in the TV room. And…he was in a better mood! He smiled at me, reaching for my hand (simple things that had been missing). He even interacted with his caregivers. It’s been 6 months now and his behavior is still positive.

Let’s be clear: energy healing did not stop, slow down, or reverse the Alzheimer’s progression. My husband has lost most of his language and attention span. He cannot feed himself and still dozes off in the middle of a word. None of his medications have changed, he still has the same caregivers in the same memory care residence.

But, he’s calmer, almost peaceful — his caregivers tell me he’s sleeping better at night, too. Energy healing works.
