Jo works with
Wellbeing Managers, HR and anyone within an organisation tasked with improving the wellbeing of mums in their company.
With organisations that understand that the current situation for mums in the workplace is full of overwhelm, stress, feeling like a failure, exhaustion, loneliness, feeling invisible, guilt and burnout. And that this is leading to low morale, low productivity, low creativity, poor leadership, high absence and rising burn out costs, and not just for mums!
Organisations that are committed to dealing with the reality of the situation and delivering real results that make a difference.
Jo doesn’t do tick boxing. Or surface level actions that look good but don’t deliver.
Jo does the real stuff. So mums lives are transformed, the workplace becomes integral to wellbeing and productivity increases as a result.
And there’s less of that face (on the right) going on!

The Stats
Sometimes the statistics tell a story all on their own with no further explanation needed!
- £28bn. According to a study from Axa and Cebr this is what burnout costs UK business each year
- Statistics on this vary of course and the real figure could be as high as £52bn
- 1 in 7 people experience mental health problems in the workplace according to the Mental Health Foundation in the UK
- One third of women face burnout at work compared to one quarter of men
- While both rates are too high, the higher women’s rate is likely due to the invisible mental health load of family/domestic duties alongside the emotional labour burden
- 79% of UK employees experience work-related stress
- 20% of employees say their job negatively affects their mental health
- Around £6bn of the loss is through sick days due to stress
- Burnout takes a toll on mental well-being contributing to anxiety, depression and other mental health issues
- Chronic stress and burnout often result in more sick days and higher absenteeism rates
- Burnout can lead to diminshed performance as exhausted employees struggle to stay focused and motivated
- Employees experiencing burnout are more likely to seek employment elsewhere, leading to higher turnover rates and recruitment costs
Trends show that this is likely to get worse. With growing pressures on mums from all directions, the choice is to ignore it and see what happens or create an amazing, supportive eco system when they can thrive and contribute positively to the workplace.

BONUS – ALTHOUGH JO’S WORK IS DIRECTED SPECIFICALLY TO MUMS IN YOUR WORKPLACE, THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY HIGE OVERLAPS.
WITH WOMEN
WITH DADS
AND ACTUALLY WITH EVERY EMPLOYEE AS THE IMPROVEMENTS, TOOLS AND ACTIONS ARE USEFUL TO ALL.
Jo is a very caring person and a good listener and we have built up a great rapport. She’s able to analyse difficult situations and life scenarios and to get to the crux of the matter.
Facing up to difficult situations and changing ingrained life behaviours can be draining and hard work and Jo is very intuitive about when to push things forward and when to provide a compassionate response so that you’re ready to reflect and prepare for the next steps.
Jo has been able to identify emotional and functional blocks in my progress towards my goals. Through both my verbal and non-verbal communication she has been able to spot where either I or other people are holding me back. This has allowed her to suggest practical and manageable steps towards my goals.
Where I have struggled, she has been compassionate and supportive and allowed me to reflect on what didn’t go to plan and to explore how I could change the outcome next time. I have been lucky to have Jo’s support and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her.
