The human body is constantly working to maintain its balanced state, known as homeostasis, but stress, poor diet, disturbed sleep & our busy lives can disrupt this equilibrium. Holistic therapies aim to restore that balance & improve your overall wellbeing.

I work from my therapy room in Leigh on sea providing a calm, restorative environment to help you reap the benefits of these wonderful therapies. Conveniently located for you if you're in Leigh on sea & just a short drive from Southend, Westcliff, Hadleigh, Benfleet & Rayleigh.

A consultation is taken at your first appointment covering medical history & lifestyle so I can tailor your treatment to your needs & make a treatment plan. I recommend a course of 6 treatments & offer the 6th treatment at half price, giving you the versatility to manage your treatment plan as well as gaining a loyalty benefit.

I use a range of 100% organic, natural, cruelty-free creams & balms, handmade in Ireland. A vegan balm is also available.

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 a change, Reiki found me again and 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. 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 researching 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 everyone and 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 to bring balance & calm 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. 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 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.

Holistic therapies treat the whole person rather than specific conditions. I do not diagnose or claim to cure any condition or disease. If you have a chronic condition you should always consult a medical professional.

There may be occasions where a therapy is not suitable, or permission should be obtained from your doctor or medical professional e.g. prior to medical tests or after a recent operation. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Your safety is my priority so please be assured that all guidelines from the government and my professional bodies (Association of Reflexologists & UK Reiki Federation) are being followed.
