Jo Guccione
When I’m working with clients, our first session is to look at their past/their story.
Start with childhood experiences. Family, events, big and little traumas
Looking back at their story, as it explains what has shaped them today.
Once I get the background information, I explain how the trauma is not the event, it’s the imprints/wound stored within the body/our nervous system that remains unprocessed.
These wounds are what forms our limiting beliefs of not being good enough, feeling shame and guilt, fear of failure, fear of abandonment etc…
It’s these limiting beliefs that lead to negative thoughts/feelings and behaviour patterns that don’t serve us long term.
When we don’t feel safe to meet certain emotions, these emotions are supressed/stored in the body. For most of us over many years.
This then Leads to Increased anxiety levels, depression or other symptoms that sometimes are diagnosed as ADHD but in fact can be linked to childhood experiences/trauma.
The work I do is Root-Cause Therapy and Embodied Processing. It is working with the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind. Our mind is 5% (the conscious part) and our body is 95% (subconscious/unconscious). The unconscious part is going back and discovering the root-cause of these limiting beliefs. The healing journey is to bring the mind and body together.
The energy in our body are our emotions. In my sessions we ask the body for answers because our body does all the talking.
Create safety in the body by anchoring a resource/memory in the body that makes them feel safe.
With muscle testing, I energetically guide my clients to clear trapped emotions stored in the body. Unpacking the emotional imprints.
Then work on healing/clearing limiting beliefs. Guiding my clients to unravel, meet all emotions, learn, and understand why they think and feel the way they do with understanding and compassion.
Bringing integration within the nervous system. Being able to meet the feelings of anxiety, depression etc in a more grounded regulated state of calmness.
Offering sessions that are more than just talk therapy. I am guiding my clients through their own healing journey of self-discovery. Healing underlying patterns and emotional wounds that are driving the current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

Meet Jo
Certified in Root-Cause Therapy and Embodied Processing
Jo is a Somatic Therapist and Mental Health Mentor with a deep passion for supporting individuals, parents, and young people to heal, reconnect, and return to themselves.
Her work is grounded in a holistic, trauma-informed approach that weaves together somatic therapy, nervous system education, inner child work, emotional release, parenting support, and trauma-informed mentoring. Through this work, Jo supports clients to explore the deeper patterns, emotions, and protective responses that may be keeping them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
Jo believes that healing is about more than simply talking through our experiences. While talk therapy can be a powerful foundation for awareness and understanding, deeper transformation often involves working with the emotional imprints, subconscious patterns, and nervous system responses held beneath the surface.
Her approach supports clients to work with both the conscious and subconscious mind, creating space for greater self-awareness, emotional release, and lasting change that brings the mind and body back into connection.
Through her own personal healing journey, Jo came to understand how deeply our past experiences, unprocessed emotions, and nervous system patterns shape the way we relate to ourselves and those around us. This lived experience, combined with her professional knowledge, allows her to hold a compassionate and supportive space for others to reconnect with themselves, strengthen relationships, and create healthier patterns for the future.
Jo’s work is centred around helping people feel safe, seen, heard, and empowered. Because when we heal ourselves, we change the way we relate to the world around us — and that kind of healing ripples outward into families, communities, and across generations.
The journey of reconnection begins within.
