ABOUT JO GILL
 

Hi I'm Jo, a wellbeing practitioner working across breathwork, movement, nervous system regulation, coaching, and nature-based approaches to health.

My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience.
 

A big part of my path into this work came through my own experience of CPTSD, anxiety and chronic stress. For a long time, I lived in a state of constant activation-stuck in a persistent fight-or-flight stress response, always “on,” always scanning, and rarely able to fully switch off.

From the outside, I was functioning-pretty highly. Inside, I was often running on survival with overwhelming anxiety.

Over time, I began to understand what was happening in the body and nervous system, and why I felt the way I did. That understanding didn’t come quickly, it came through lived experience, trial and error, and slowly learning how to come back into regulation rather than just pushing through it.
 

This process of reconnecting with the body, learning how to soften chronic tension, and finding a greater sense of safety within myself is what ultimately led me into this work.
 

Alongside this personal journey, I now work within corporate wellbeing, NHS functional restoration service with those who have been experiencing persistent pain for months even years, as well as with private clients.This gives me a grounded, real-world perspective on stress, trauma, burnout, pain, and the complexity of the human experience, both in clinical settings and everyday life.

​

My approach is trauma-informed and rooted in a simple belief: most people aren’t broken and don’t need fixing. What they need is support to come out of survival patterns, reconnect with their nervous system, and rebuild a sense of safety, resilience, and capacity from within.

​

I work with individuals, groups, and organisations to support stress regulation, emotional resilience, behaviour change, and recovery from chronic stress and burnout.

​

Alongside this, I facilitate workshops, classes, and retreats that create space to slow down, reconnect, and gently unwind the patterns of overactivation that so many of us live with.

​

At the heart of my work is a simple intention:

​

To support people to move out of survival mode and into a more grounded, connected relationship with themselves-through practical, embodied tools they can actually live with.
