A journey from survival to self-creation

I’m Jo — an artist, mentor, and coach for those of you trying to heal after experiencing a toxic/controlling relationship or narcissistic abuse.

Having lived with narcissism since childhood and experiencing trauma that shaped me into being an Empath and a People Pleaser, my life has taken me through some of the darkest valleys a person can walk… and it’s also led me into profound transformation, freedom, and self-love.

For years, I lost myself in relationships that mirrored old wounds: Patterns of survival including being silenced, carrying around other people’s secrets and feeling responsible for their errors in life that were not mine to carry, feeling shame, fear, and the belief that I didn’t have a voice. My body was living in Chronic stress and it eventually led to an auto-immune condition called Multiple Sclerosis, or MS. I kept giving, hoping, trying, and surviving.

In 2023, I fell into an online relationship with someone from overseas and I thought at the time that I felt real love for this person. I had been blindsided and manipulated into a toxic mix of heady highs and unbearable lows, with urgency and addiction brought into the relationship. I was literally addicted to this toxic personality.

Everything shifted when I finally recognised the patterns — the trauma bond, the manipulation, the old stories written in childhood that were still running my life. With deep inner healing, nervous system repair, creative expression, and the courage to face the truth, I reclaimed the one thing I had been separated from my entire life:

Myself.

I finally found me, underneath all my conditioning and beliefs I had wrongly accepted about myself. My physical body is now healing aswell and I am getting stronger and stronger again.

Today, I help others do the same.

I guide people who feel trapped, confused, unworthy, or afraid — people who know there is more to life than pain — to reconnect with their power, their voice, and their innate ability to create a life they love.

Through nervous-system based healing, emotional clarity, creative practices, inner child work, and empowerment teachings, I support you in remembering who you are beneath the trauma.

My mission is simple:

To help you break free from the patterns that hurt you, reclaim your self-worth, and step into a life of vitality, passion, freedom, and self-love.

Whether through my courses, my art, my videos, or my words, everything I share comes from lived experience — not theory. I’ve been where you are. I know how heavy it feels. And I also know the incredible beauty waiting on the other side.

You are not broken.

You are becoming.

Welcome to yourself.
