About Me
I'm Jo Kenneally. My journey to become a holistic therapist probably began when I first experienced Reiki. My son was 2 and I was pregnant with my second when my mum died, I started to lose myself & life became difficult & fraught with my sense of loss & two very young children. When my youngest was about 18 months old I had my first Reiki treatment & my journey began. I drifted away from Reiki as life with two boys kept me busy but when I sought change, Reiki found me again & brought me back to myself. I trained in the three levels of Reiki to become a Reiki Master/Teacher.
More training followed in Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Holistic Uplifting Face Massage, Nutrition & Health, Meditation, Crystal Therapy, Crystal Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Reflexology for Menopause, Vertical Reflexology Therapy (VRT), level 2 Counselling Skills & more recently Face Reflexology. Gaining qualifications in these therapies & skills enable me to provide a truly personalised holistic service to every client.
I continue to read & learn about therapies & holistic health, keeping up-to-date with research projects, new ideas and exploring other therapies. I continue to research Reflexology techniques to improve wellbeing in those with Long Covid.
Complementary therapies have always been a part of my life, even before I had heard the term, from using herbs and essential oils for health & skincare as a teenager to where I am now. I practice Reiki daily in line with my training, work with crystals & essential oils to enhance my environment & wellbeing as well as using hand & foot reflexology to keep me balanced, grounded & well.
I believe that holistic therapies can benefit anyone & improve everyone's wellbeing in the same way that they have improved mine. I have treated a wide range of people from the very young to the very old, those living with serious life changing conditions, those wanting to make changes to their life & those who want bring balance back into their lives.
My primary aim is for every client to leave the treatment room feeling calm & relaxed with an enhanced sense of wellbeing.

I am registered with Southend City Council & hold an enhanced DBS.
