About Jo

Hi I'm Jo,

A mum of two beautiful children – Erykah 15 and Xavier 12, and I have been married to my soulmate Shami for 17 years. I was born and raised in the North of England in an amazing city called York. I studied my BA (Honours) Degree in Travel and Tourism in the mid 1990’s.


After migrating to Australia in 2003, we started a family and, in 2010, our path to Natural Health in Australia began, through healing our own children.


I am passionate about spreading the word when it comes to trusting your gut instinct, and truly listening to what you believe as a mother or parent. Had I not done this, my daughter would now be on medication.


I chose to heal my kids naturally, putting my trust in allied practitioners and then our holistic GP, who literally changed our world and guided me onto the path we Iive, and thrive by, today.


From having a six-year-old child who wished she was dead because she was so riddled with anxiety, to having a happy and healthy child now - it’s amazing how removing some food groups and increasing vitamins and minerals - as well as detoxing one’s home of toxic chemicals - can have such a profound impact. How could I keep this knowledge to myself?!!


I now share these amazing little brown bottles of doTERRA essential oils with the world. They have brought healing to the lives of my family and friends on all levels - physical, emotional, spiritual - and created financial independence for my family.



I had never intended to do doTERRA as a business, but when my husband was made redundant, I had to find something that would allow me to support my family financially so we could remain financially independent. I was used to earning a high income before having children, in the UK railway industry, but I sold my business in July 2017 as it no longer served me and was not profitable enough to even keep a roof over our heads!


I am standing in the QLD state election on the 31st October 2020 for the IMOParty for the Everton Electorate as I am so passionate about natural health and I am deeply concerned with the way our state is heading.


Would you like to hear more about this business opportunity? If that is a YES, and I really hope it is, you have nothing to lose and so much to gain.


Imagine improving your family’s health and wellbeing, and not having to worry about those expensive household bills, school fees, medications….the list is endless.


You can travel extensively around the world - in one year alone I have spent a week on the Gold Coast, a week in Perth and a week in Salt Lake City, USA – and I was then awarded a place on a cruise of Alaska, departing Vancouver, so I also got to look around this beautiful city before I boarded.


With love, happiness and abundance.
