Jo is a former biochemist with 10 years of experience in research laboratories and the field of molecular diagnostics. She pairs her knowledge of the human body with therapeutic massage and energy work, bringing together the mind, body, and soul as one unit for restoration. She is deeply empathic and a healer at heart, so it brings her great joy to share her gifts with others in the form of bodywork. She integrates traditional massage techniques with a gentle and relaxing approach while being intuitively guided to focal areas and specializes in the Hawaiian traditional Lomi Lomi modality.
