Hi, I’m Jo! Thank you for stopping by my site. If you have any questions at all, I’d love to hear from you!
I am an accredited, transformational career and life coach. I hold an ICF approved diploma from the world-renowned Animas Centre for Coaching. I also hold a level II qualification in Understanding Autism.
I help mums in the creative industries who feel pulled in every direction, and know they can’t keep living this way any longer. I support them to create a career that lights them up, fits with family life, and helps them feel like themselves again, and excited for their future.
Alongside my coaching I am a professional violinist, own an entertainment agency, and I’m a single mum to two wonderful boys. My eldest son is autistic and my youngest is AuDHD and I learn something new from them every single day. (They also drive me crazy on a regular basis!!) I love music, theatre, dancing, travel, learning, decaf lattes (can’t have caffeine), chocolate (total addict) and spending time with my lovely family and friends – not forgetting my two Ragdoll cats! I am not a huge fan of mud or maths!!
My career began as a freelance violinist after graduating from the Royal College of Music in London with a BMus (hons) degree. I worked as a session violinist performing, recording and touring with artists including Adele, Becky Hill, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Gnarls Barkley, John Legend, Kanye west, Rhianna, Simply Red, Take That, The Killers… During this time I set up my entertainment agency Green Fairy Productions, through which I have created and managed numerous different acts who perform for the corporate, TV and theatre markets. One of my acts went on to win Britain’s Got Talent a few years ago. Alongside this, I have been working as a music business mentor since 2020.
Combining my 25 years of music performance, business creation and mentoring, with my diverse and eclectic life experience puts me in a unique position as a coach. It hasn’t always been plain sailing, especially as a working single mum with two neurodivergent children, and life has been really hard at times. However, with the right support, perseverance and a positive mindset, I am proof that we can all go on to live a life we absolutely love. And believe me, if I can do it you definitely can!
I offer a tailored, positive and caring approach to coaching. Your wellbeing and fulfilment is at the heart of everything I do. I will help you understand how your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours impact your daily life, highlight patterns that hinder success and provide tools to create change. I am really looking forward to working with you.
