Hi I’m Jo

I’m Jo Davies — founder of Calerae, and creator of the Beyond Survival approach to real-world wellbeing.

After 25 years in the corporate world, raising three children, and experiencing severe burnout and an ME relapse, I know firsthand what it feels like to live in survival mode — constantly running, rarely resting, and feeling like you’re losing pieces of yourself along the way.

That experience shaped everything I do today.

Why I Do This

When I first began coaching, I searched for a wellbeing model that worked in real life — something practical, memorable, and compassionate. What I found was a gap: lots of good ideas, but no simple framework that reflected the messy, modern world we actually live in.

So I built my own.

For individuals — especially working mums — I created a methodology that supports women in rediscovering themselves and building sustainable rhythms of life.
For organisations, I designed a consultancy model that builds ecosystems of wellbeing — systems that embed calm, connection, and clarity into the culture itself, instead of relying on one-off initiatives.

Because real change doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens when the systems around us start to work for us.

My Philosophy

The world is changing fast.
For generations, people found stability and identity through work, family, community, and shared values. As those structures have eroded, we’ve been left searching for meaning, connection, and calm in a world that often rewards speed over presence.

Calerae exists to rebuild those foundations — helping people and workplaces create environments where wellbeing is the natural outcome of how they live and work.

My mission is to guide people and organisations from survival to sustainable thriving — to create a new era of strength and calm.

Real-World Impact

While my methods naturally reduce stress and overwhelm, increase productivity, and bring joy, there are always unexpected rewards.

For example, a client once came to me on the brink of leaving her partner, believing it was her only option. After a deep and transformative session, she found another path—and today, I’m honoured to be invited to her wedding next year. Moments like these are a powerful reminder of the real, lasting impact of focused support and guidance.

How I Work

I offer:

  • Wellbeing Consultancy for businesses looking to build thriving ecosystems

  • Calerae One, one-to-one coaching for individuals ready to reclaim calm, clarity, and confidence

  • Tribe & Thrive, a supportive group experience designed especially for working mums

Each offering is built on the same principle — that wellbeing doesn’t come from doing more, but from designing systems that allow us to be more.

    Let’s Begin

    Whether you’re leading a team or leading your own life, wellbeing doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs to be real — and built to last.
