Hi, I'm Jo.
I'm an Advanced Skin & Massage Specialist and Educator, bringing together skin science, the power of touch and a deeper approach to wellbeing
I'm passionate about the power of touch, the energy we bring to it and the way massage can help us release tension, quieten the mind and reconnect with ourselves. Combined with my deep knowledge of the skin, I love being able to care for both how you look and, just as importantly, how you feel.
Skin can evoke some of our strongest emotions. It's one of the first things the world sees when it looks at us, and the way we feel about our skin can have a huge impact on our confidence and how we show up in everyday life.
That's why I believe everyone deserves to love the skin they're in, feel confident in themselves and take the time to nurture their wellbeing, inside and out.

I studied Beauty Therapy in Yorkshire, and loved everything about the industry. My best friend and I ran a successful beauty salon together until 2012, when our family moved to Berkshire. My desire for seeing a transformation in my clients helped me decide to specialise in my two main passions: skin and massage. The innovation, learning and development in this industry never stops– which is one of the reasons I find it truly fascinating.
When I’m not in clinic, you’ll find teaching advanced facial massage techniques to professionals, taxi-ing around my two girls, or having a good strong northern cup of tea! If I could be anywhere in the world, I would be by the sea with a rum and a world-class spa on hand. Bliss.
Our dog Tilly is a gorgeous (but slightly crazy) cockapoo. She gets me up and out every morning, which has led me to discover the most beautiful places right on our doorstep.

In the clinic, I love to needle to Teddy Swims... what a voice! Out of the clinic, I still love my 90s dance tracks. There’s just nothing better to lift the spirits.

My mornings set me up for the day, and I'm always up early to take advantage of the quiet. I make sure I drink a glass of water then a good strong cuppa, followed by yoga (I'm a total novice, but I love it!). And then of course, my trusty skincare routine.

Just like a healthy body doesn’t happen after a single gym session and a smoothie, glowing skin doesn’t happen after just one facial. But it’s certainly a good start.
there are no quick fixes, SORRY!
I finished my 3-year NVQ Beauty Therapy course at Bradford College, and started working in one of the only beauty salons in the area. In 1996 there really weren’t many around, so I was lucky to meet and learn from the best!
I finished studying and got my first job
1996
Our dream started small and grew quickly into a beautiful high street salon. I enjoyed many years working alongside my best friend, with great staff and wonderful clients.
i opened a salon
2001
With one child and pregnant with a second, our family moved to start a new life in Berkshire. I knew it was time to be there for my girls and find my feet in a new area (plus getting closer to 40 was giving me my own new skin concerns to solve!)
The big move: 212 miles to Berkshire
2012
Whilst renovating our new home, I created a private, home-based clinic room. I felt ready to give my clients a professional, warm and welcoming experience, along with the flexibility to work from home and be there for my family.
GETTING BACK TO THE WORK I LOVE
2016
Alongside growing the clinic and developing my approach to advanced skin and massage treatments, I began sharing my knowledge and experience through Skin&Soul Academy, training and inspiring other professionals. My clinic remains my first love – a place where I can do what I love most: work with clients, create meaningful results and give people time to truly switch off and feel cared for.
