Redundancy, the death of her parents, moving house, menopause, and a lifetime of mental health issues created a perfect storm for Jo Fentiman. And after picking herself up after a breakdown left her unable to work for 14 months, she returned to the workplace only for bullying to take another toll on her mental health.
But out of this incredibly turbulent period came something wonderful: the realisation that Jo was a natural empath and a healer with a gift for Reiki. A gift she wanted to share with others, particularly teenagers and children suffering from anxiety.
Here’s why you should tune in
