"Jo is so incredibly well suited to her role as a qualified OT. She is genuinely qualified not just by study and acreditation but also by personal experience. Through Jo's own experience she has learnt that living life despite disabilities or health challenges means thinking of solutions, whether that be adaptions or alternatives. When she teaches about the value of pacing, she also knows the reality of working pacing into a life and the challenges of achieving it and that means you can be honest and real with her resulting in better outcomes. Many of her blog posts have resulted in me making changes to the way I manage my health, for example I am now working to incorporate physiotherapy into my daily routine. Knowing Jo has done so herself helps me silence the voice that might otherwise say I can't do it and that "they" don't understand how tired I am after work. I'm yet to ask for an opinion or advice and not either be pointed to a useful resource or given helpful input. In my work as a coach for people with chronic health problems I will be actively referring/encouraging people to get in touch with Jo and get her insight and support."
