'I have the confidence to be visible again'

Lisa Ashton

The Travelling Bookkeeper

Jo is an absolute ray of sunshine.

 I did a breakthrough programme & have just completed it.

 Jo didn’t tell me what to do or how to feel, but she guided me & helped me to recognise my strengths & reminded me of my core beliefs & values.

This has helped me to diversify my business, develop a clear marketing plan & have the confidence to be visible again.

Jo gave me tools that I can continue to use to deal with confidence issues or self doubt that I know I will use both professionally & personally.

I now feel confident marketing myself & have gained so much momentum following my sessions.

I know I will work with Jo again in the future & would recommend working with her if you’ve lost your direction slightly or just need a positive coach involved in your business.

What can I say? For me this has been nothing short of miraculous! This wonderfully talented lady has literally turned my thinking around in just 4 sessions! Wow! I’ve gone from feeling plagued with imposter syndrome, overwhelm, self doubt and utter confusion about my ability to teach and show up online to literally feeling like a Phoenix rising from the ashes! I’m now raring to go, feeling motivated, feeling so much more confident and most importantly I’m really EXCITED about my business now! Jo realigned me and it FEELS SO GOOD! Honestly if you are in a rut with your business or confused and questioning everything... go and see this lady! Jo really knows her stuff! Every session we had her timekeeping was exceptional, she focused on what was needed and she delivered over and above what I expected! I had the 1:1 coaching sessions course with Jo and I’d say if you are looking for a fast fix then this is definitely the way to go! The icing on the cake is that the sessions are recorded so I now have everything we spoke about as reference to turn to whenever I need it! Bonus!! Best money I’ve spent in a long time! I can not recommend Jo highly enough! Absolutely amazing, and such a LOVELY LOVELY person too! Thank you so much Jo! X

'I'm an NLP Convert!'

Gillian Devine Brand Photography Mentor

I really didn’t know what to expect when I booked my session with JoJo. I already knew I liked her….what's not to like, she is the most giving, warm, engaging, lovely person ever!  But never having had an NLP session before I was a little apprehensive.  What if I didn’t know the answers to the questions? What if it just didn’t work on me? Its not as if I have major problems, but a few definite bumps in the road, and rollercoaster moments I could do with some help managing and getting over. We all have that don’t we?

 Well, I’m an NLP convert! My session with JoJo was so wonderfully uplifting, emotional but in a good way, invigorating and rewarding. Its like have a warm, safe, cosy, wonderful hug! But one that lasts and lasts!

JoJo really helped me look at things in a different way, worked with me through the areas I was struggling with, and taught me some amazing tools and techniques to use.   This is a must for anyone who wants to grow and develop, and I cannot recommend JoJo enough. We talked, we laughed, I cried, and then laughed again.  JoJo taught and guided me, reassured me, and helped me so so much. Afterwards I felt re-energised, on top of the world and ready to take on anything! In life and in business.  I don’t know what I was so nervous about. Thank you JoJo! I’ve learnt so much from you.  You are amazing,  keep doing what you are doing as you truly have a gift for it.

Taking back control with JoJo's Mind Body Confidence Kickstart

Hanni Martini

Before I started the Mindbody Confidence kickstart I was feeling a little out of  control in every area of life. My 'routine' was inconsistent and a little hectic, my diet was hit and miss and I was craving some stability. I wanted to be back in the driving seat of my body, mind and life. 

The Mindbody Confidence Kickstart did this, and then some. The cleverly crafted 'blueprint', devised by me, for me (with a lot of guidance from Jo and Tim), meant I got to choose what was most important to me to focus on. I got to 'tick things off my list' and feel a huge sense of achievement every day, which was soooo good for my sense of ownership and to keep me motivated (I can't tell you how many times I have started something like this full of gusto, only to fall off the wagon a week - or less - in).

The community was so fun & supportive and Tim's cookalongs, along with Jojo's mindset wizardry and constant cheerleading, really made me want to check in every day.

3 weeks may not sound like long enough to reach your goals, especially if, like me, you are also aiming for weight loss and have a fair bit to lose. But that's exactly why it's a kickstart - it launchpad to the new you. And although weight loss was not my main goal (I didn't even set a goal weight for the challenge), I lost a whopping 6.6kg (around a stone) in just those 3 weeks. WOW.

 For anyone on the fence, or like me thinking "another chance to let myself down, fail, and cost me a load of money in the process", I can't pinpoint what it is, but I can promise you this program is different. Having done more programs 'like this' than I can count on both hands and feet, this is the first one that's not only had notable results from the program itself, but has really helped me to establish lasting change, and habits that I will keep for life.

Thank you so much, Jo & Tim. The world needs the MBC Kickstart. 

Nad How

Mindset Motivator and Limitless Life Mentor

Seriously this woman is amazing to another level. 
I had a breakthrough session with her and boy did we get a breakthrough! 
Joanna has such a lovely nature, making you feel instantly at ease. She picked up on my expressions and really got me focused on my true passions within my business and how I can push forward with that side of things. She took me away from all the "I think I should be doing this" to "WOW yes! This is what makes my heart sing and where I want to go with my business". 
Thanks to Joanna's support, help and encouragement I am now working on a new signature programme for my business that will not only be unique but I know will help lots of people get the results they want! 
Honestly Joanna I can't thank you enough for the transformation you've given me in just one breakthrough session!! 
Highly recommend!

I am now ready to conquer, and leave no prisoners :)

Joanna provided a life changing webinar for the YVM Community on the topic of dealing with burnout. The feedback from attendees was brilliant and I found myself writing a LOT of notes down too. If you’re a group owner who has members struggling with burnout or other mindset issues I’d highly recommend asking Jo Jo to run a session.


Traci Roberts

This lady has empowered me, uplifted me and allowed me to make the right decisions for myself. JoJo is an incredible coach, a beautiful lady who has a huge heart, thinks of others, has that infectious smile that she lights up whatever room she enters! JoJo has helped me overcome some things I thought I wouldn’t be able to, but through her determination, patience and discussions I have been able to. The Self Development she has taught me is second to none!!! Her coaching is incredible and I have such admiration for what she has achieved! JoJo is one special lady, in so many ways, I cherish this beautiful lady!

I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to meet Joanna in my life!! She is truly amazing! She have all the time the right answer, the right word, the right perspective in life! Every time I speak with her, I feel so good, so lighter, so positive and all the problems that I had in my head, in that moment, disappear.

Bregje Mank

Joanna, I just wanted to thank you again, as I am in such a great HUGE high vibe at the moment, just overflowing of joy and happiness, can't stop smiling, don't want to either. And besides from all the amazing work we did together tonight, I just wanted to say to you that you are an absolutely amazing woman, with a great energy around. I am very grateful that Michelle chose you to work with, so we can now do too.

I am just feeling truly grateful for the part you already played in my life. I'm bursting of gratitude, excitement and love and in this moment I really felt the need to share this story, so you truly understand the impact your help had on my life. I know I do all the inner work, but I wouldn't be able to do it all if I didn't have people like you in my life, so once more, Thanks you!

Wishing you a great evening!
Love, Bregje

Progression Accountancy

I just wanted to give a massive shout out to Joanna 🙋‍♀️ It was the best timing ever, that I watched one of her videos on replay when I did. I was in a bad way & hit a big wall ... I'd been taking on a lot of emotional baggage from other people for a very VERY long time, and it was now having a massive impact on me. So, I totally jumped at the opportunity to bag a slot & was very lucky to get the last mindset coaching session with her yesterday afternoon! It was absolutely amazing to talk things through with someone who could see it all from a better point of view. And the 2 visualisation techniques that I've now got are going to become invaluable to me ... they are now part of my morning routine, as well as my strategy bank whenever anyone else's crap tries to come my way! Would very much recommend Joanna to anyone struggling with their mindset! Thank you!! 😊👍

If you want to make a real difference and shift in your life, then you need JoJo in your life. Apart from being a truly wonderful person, she is incredibly knowledgeable, wise, and grounded. I can't recommend her services highly enough.


Nicola Liggins

Owner - The Branding Boutique

I highly recommend Joanna for anyone who needs help and guidance with anything that is blocking them, holding them back in life and or business. Joanna has helped me identify areas of my life that were really affecting my mindset and progression and also with lots of personal issues. Since day one of meeting her, I have never once felt uncomfortable opening up to her and every single time I have come away from our sessions with specific techniques and results to move forward. Joanna really has the most beautiful nature and genuinely cares about helping others - I cannot recommend her enough.

I have been fortunate to work with Jo on a couple of different occasions and in differing circumstances, and every time, she has gone above and beyond to be supportive, patient, positive and motivational.
 
She is amazing at recognising limiting beliefs and has helped me conquer imposter syndrome and gain clarity and focus in my business.
 
She has the most amazing energy that can't help but rub off on you when you are in contact with her

A lady that puts her heart on the line time and time again to ensure that you go away feeling healed and ready for your next step. Her smile says all you need to know. I will definitely be working with this angel again.

Jo Hill

JoJo has taught me so much. She's showed me how to recognise the patterns and how to break the chain to avoid self sabotage. I'm now growing a business where I can help others to believe in themselves and I recognise the change I can bring to my life too. I wouldn't be where I am now without Jo's help and guidance. Thank you, JoJo xx

Hypnosis Practitioner Course

Jessi Carrera Maybury

Well what can I say…. THANK YOU for the absolute BEST TIME!!!
I have done so much training in so many things (I’m a reiki master and advanced theta therapist plus access bars, meditation etc etc)… and this is without doubt the BEST training I have ever done!!!!!
You are totally incredible!!!
I have had the most wonderful 2 days and really can’t wait for the next part of this training. I often get very nervous or worried that I may get it wrong but I had no insecurities. The way that JoJo holds space is so safe and loving. I felt so comfortable learning and even practising in the break out groups.

Susan Cunliffe McAffee

Creaters and Makers Mindset Coach

When the opportunity to learn hypnosis first hand arose I didn't hesitate, particularly since I have trained with Jo in the past and adore her training methods. She gently and patiently guides you through the training, holding your hand every step of the way, supporting you personally as you grow in confidence and skills.

Her knowledge on the subject knows no bounds.

If you are looking for a caring and safe environment in which to expand and self develop then spending time on her courses and in her presence is where you need to be.

Training with JoJo Ellis is an opportunity like no other.
Read that again!

I’m currently completing Joanna Ellis's Hypnotherapy Practitioner course and half way in it’s already delivering so so much more than I could ever have anticipated.

Having the privilege of being a student of Jo’s for a few years now, I thought I knew what Jo is capable of ~ but THIS is something else!

I can’t count enough stars to convey how highly I recommend this course!

Amanda Irby

Happy Bench Coaching

I have studied NLP for a fews year and had the joy of crossing paths with Jojo last year on our NLP Masters Course. She has since coached and mentored me in more ways than I could have thought possible. Jojo is incredibly intuitive and brings that connectedness to every session. She holds space at exactly the right time and allows me (and I am sure others) to go beneath the surface of every day thinking - such an art to be able to do this so naturally. She is empathetic, oozes kindness and has a genuine love of helping people. I am so grateful to her and she has certainly inspired me to achieve more than I ever thought possible. Thank you Jojo from the bottom of my heart.

Sarah Herd

I paid privately to certify as an NLP Practitioner with Joanna Ellis in 2021. Joanna is a skilled trainer and NLP master - really bringing NLP to life through her total enthusiasm, dedication and deep knowledge of the subject. The NLP course was truly a life changing experience - with many lightbulb moments and plenty of opportunities to practice our newly developing skills on each other. Joanna creates such a safe fun & loving space that learning was easy and the group built deep connections with each other as we progressed through the course. 

If you are thinking about NLP training - I would recommend it to anyone as a way of understanding yourself and others more deeply. I found that many of the techniques have been really helpful in my corporate role and have had an impact both on my mindset and on the way I work. I would also strongly recommend learning NLP with Joanna - she really cares about her students and each session is carefully crafted to help everyone learn in a way that is both joyful and challenging. I felt totally supported throughout the course, and Joanna is masterful at creating a learning environment that brings out the best in everyone.

Vicky Thornton

I recently qualified as a certified NLP practitioner with Joanna as my trainer and I can honestly say I wouldn’t want to learn from anyone else. I was nervous about undertaking an intensive training, as it’s a long time since my student days and my attention span is not what it used to be! However, learning NLP with Joanna was fun, interactive and immersive and my attention was not only held throughout long sessions on Zoom, but each day I finished with a big smile on my face and was excited for the next session/day.

Joanna’s training style is energetic and enthusiastic and she was fully present for our lovely group at all times, creating a safe space for us all to bond and share our daily shifts/wins/learnings. Her course material is well written with relevant graphics and images and easy to understand and there was just enough ‘homework’ to keep us on our toes and embed the learning from the day. Joanna herself adds little bit of magic to the learning process, inspiring you to be curious and want to learn more.

Joanna also worked with me on a 1:1 basis and helped me release emotions that I had held within me for a long time, enabling me to move on from a physical injury and move more freely and confidently and for this I will be eternally grateful.

For anyone looking for a coach or an NLP trainer, look no further than Joanna, she is the Queen of NLP!

Katie Dawson

During 2021, I qualified as a certified NLP Practitioner with the inspiring Joanna Ellis and a wonderful group of amazing fellow trainees. What is NLP you might ask? Neuro Linguistic Programming – it is essentially a guide to life… a user manual for you and your behaviours, actions and thought processes and how we communicate with each other. Using NLP in your life means that you can forge more meaningful and productive relationships both personally and professionally. The main reason I wanted to qualify was to help others – coaching, mentoring and corporate training. Being aware of other’s desired outcomes and being able to build rapport with others; even those we might not see eye to eye with…….
NLP use in our corporate worlds is even more important in these uncertain times. To be able to communicate on different levels and achieve shared outcomes when team members may be working remotely, new, busy etc – it is a game changer. NLP shows the powerful impact our behaviour, language and actions can have on everyone around us.
Joanna is extremely talented – her teaching is focused and you can follow in a logical manner. The study guides are so useful and well written - no lengthy 'death by Powerpoint' here! There are practical examples at every turn and time to practice with the rest of the group and just be present with others. Plenty of lightbulb moments every day of training and practice! Joanna never puts words in your mouth like other trainers we might have come across – the beauty of Joanna’s approach is the answer is always within you – she provides the skills so you discover yourself. Joanna is listening, building rapport and holding space for discussion; you find the skills you have inside all along.
 The training and mentorship provided by Joanna has enabled my role and career to take off – I am now using my skills to coach and mentor at work and personally. I have developed my own training specifically related to my role and have 5 sessions I’m implementing throughout 2022 using NLP techniques and methods. I am also working on 1:1 coaching.
NLP Training is a key skill for corporate management. Joanna is the perfect person to show you this new way of approaching work relationships. It will change your life.

My first impression of Jo was the warmth and brightness of her smile. I met her at a Networking event and I was drawn to her as someone who I wanted to coach me in how to communicate my business in a way that would connect with people.
 
I loved working with her and she’s continually helped me since with communication, connection and coming from a place of love and contribution.
 
I’ve seen her transform people that she coaches, their confidence has increased and they’ve achieved incredible success in their businesses, relationships and their lives. Working with Jo as a coach is like allowing the sunshine to light up your life.

Jo is the sunshine you need on any rainy day, heart driven, committed and a wonderful person both inside and out.

She has a naturally sunny disposition with the ability to help positively change your perspective on any situation. She will always believe in you before you have the courage to believe in yourself and for that, I am forever grateful.

Jo is completely selfless and will always give you the time you need to overcome any obstacle or challenge in your way. She brings a unique light and will positively impact anyone who is fortunate enough to cross her in life & business. Keep shining bright Jojo!

'Every time I work with Jo, I leave feeling motivated, lighter, and ready to face whatever’s ahead.'

'Working with Jo is genuinely transformational. Today’s session was a turning point for me I came in feeling stuck, weighed down by jealousy and a sense of worthlessness that just didn’t feel like me. Jo met me right where I was, guiding me through those tough feelings with so much empathy and skill. She helped me reframe my thoughts and introduced me to the “parts” work, which was such an eye-opener. I learned to listen to what my body was teaching me, rather than fighting against it. By the end of the session, I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders. The negative thoughts that had been holding me back were transformed thanked, released, and replaced with so much more compassion. Not only did I walk away with new tools for myself, but also insights I can use with my own clients. Every time I work with Jo, I leave feeling motivated, lighter, and ready to face whatever’s ahead. I’m honestly excited for our next 6 months together in Evolution. Jo, thank you for creating such a safe and inspiring space to grow.'
