Nature lover
Jo encourages her clients to find daily glimmers. For her that beauty is often in nature. She loves exploring the Blue Mountains, capturing moments like light breaking through clouds at sunsets and raindrops on a gumleaf. Some of her photos can be found on the website, taken when out enjoying the wonder of creation.
Community lover
Jo is passionate about people and making connections, whether through conversation, sharing meals, or campfire music. Jo believes that we are made for relationships and can be our best when we carry a deep knowledge there are others that care for us. Caring for others also improves our lives, reflecting a balance between introspection and connection.
