Jo Hamilton's own journey began in 2006, when she embarked on a quest to restore and recover from the challenges of supporting her son, who has autistic spectrum challenges. Through her personal practise of hatha yoga, TRE, and meditation, Jo found profound healing and a desire to share the gift of these practises with others. She completed her 500+ hours of Yoga Teacher training with the Devon School of Yoga and furthered her studies in India, exploring yoga and meditation at renowned ashrams. Jo's dedication to her craft led her to study with experts in the fields of clinical psychology, restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Yin Yoga, enhancing her ability to support individuals in releasing tension, stress, and trauma.
