About Me
Hi! I'm Jo.
I am a mental wellness coach, motivational speaker, world record holder, author, and member of the Mensa High IQ Society.
When I was 8 years old I knew exactly what I wanted to be when I grow up. A scientist, who helps others. Though life had some twists and turns planned for me and for a while, I forgot who I was.
I undertook an audacious journey of discovery and set the world record as the first woman in history to have circumnavigated the entire African continent on a motorcycle, solo.
A journey I tackled to both challenge myself in overcoming my fears, but also as a way to delve deeper into my struggles with mental illness and suicidality.
Now, on the doorstep of my fourth decade on this planet, I am pursuing my dream of studying towards becoming a doctor and specializing in psychiatry.
My greatest passion is helping others empower themselves by equipping them with life-changing, scientifically-supported tools for understanding the workings of the human mind, and how to move beyond obstacles in everyday life.
Qualifications: Certified lay counsellor, trauma counselling and debriefing, psychological first-aid, certified life coach.
