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 think I had truly forgotten what relaxation felt like until that reiki session, it was a turning point, the wake up call I needed to start looking after myself better. 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 first level of Reiki & experienced that same deep relaxation & calm that had been my turning point, it became a personal practice that changed my outlook & overall wellbeing.
More training followed in Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Holistic Face Massage, Nutrition & Health, Meditation, Crystal Therapy, Crystal Reflexology, Munay-Ki Rites, Aromatherapy, Reflexology for Menopause, Reflexology to support those with Long Covid, Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT), level 2 Counselling Skills & Face Reflexology. I also completed the further 2 levels of Usui Reiki Ryoho to become a practitioner, master & teacher. 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 am currently learning more about Shamanic healing & delving deeper into the Munay-Ki rites.
Complementary therapies have always been a part of my life, even before I had heard the term, from choosing crystals as a young girl, 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 & face reflexology to keep me balanced, grounded & well.
I believe that holistic therapies can benefit everyone & improve everyone's wellbeing. I have treated a wide range of people from the very young to the very old, those wanting to make change in their life, those who want to bring balance, those living with serious life changing or limiting conditions & those facing the end of their life. It has been an immense privilege to support each one of them.
My aim is for each & every client to leave the treatment room feeling calm, relaxed & with an enhanced sense of wellbeing. It has been rewarding to help people from Leigh on sea, Westcliff, Benfleet, Rayleigh, Hadleigh, Southend & further afield to bring some balance into their lives & support them through difficult times in their lives.
I am a member of the following professional bodies, giving you the reassurance that I am appropriately qualified and insured:
Association of Reflexologists
UK Reiki Federation
I am registered with Southend City Council & hold an enhanced DBS.
I volunteer for the Reiki Medic-Care team of Reiki Practitioners offering distance Reiki sessions to medical staff free of charge, this initiative is feeding into data gathering for future research.
