About Me

In working with my clients I draw on my past professional experience as a paralegal, non-profit worker, intuitive healer, bodyworker and current experience as a creative business owner.  My academic training is in Industrial Sociology and Adult Education which gives me a solid foundation in being able to analyze which business systems and workflow patterns suit my clients’ energy and values. I also am a bit of a geek when it comes to new media and keep up-to-date on social media and user experience tools and tips.

For more on my background, have a look at my About page and LinkedIn profile.

If this sounds like you, please contact me with any questions and to see if we would be a good fit.

One-on-one Coaching Sessions

I offer one-one-one coaching sessions  via Skype to anywhere in the world, telephone throughout the USA and in-person in Berkeley, CA.  All sessions include follow-up e-mail support.

At this time I do not offer coaching packages for one-on-one coaching as I find it is best to be fluid in the process.  We may choose to work together once, for the length of a specific project or over several months – we will decide the best course together.  Each session is tailored to your needs and growth.

Website Review Package

Your website is often the first impression your customers have of your business  – do you know if its the right one?  As soon as they land on your site, you want them to get a sense of who you are, what you offer and buy your products or hire you.  Are you sure your customer know what to do when they land on your site?  Are you sure your site emanates your true essence?

If you are not sure then my Website Review Package is just the thing for you!

Website Review Package includes:

• 30min Skype intake interview with me to uncover your business goals, values and energy;
• Written report on your website outlining its strengths & weaknesses and suggested web copy, website flow and structure; user interface issues and referrals to graphic and web design resources, if needed.  The report will be delivered via e-mail within 15 business days of intake; and
• E-mail follow-up support for following 4 weeks as you implement changes.

If this interests you, please contact me with any questions and to see if we would be a good fit.

Rates & Payment

• One hour Session – $100
• Website Review Package – $250

What Clients Are Saying

It has been my absolute pleasure to have Jo coach me on my business.  Her analysis of my website and crystal clear suggestions were spot on.  Jo highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of my website in a supportive manner and provided guidance for improvements that I could easily action.  She saw things that I hadn’t even noticed, but when pointed out to me it was glaringly obvious they needed to be changed.  Which was easy to do as Jo was so generous in sharing her knowledge and experience.

I was so impressed with Jo during our conversations – she gets to the point, but does it in such a supportive and encouraging way – that I walked away feeling super motivated.  I also found that Jo was able to distill the essence of what I was trying to convey and guide me on how to better express the heart of my business and the value of my products.
Michelle Millichip, Web Developer

I’m blessed to be working with Jo’s coaching services as I re-birth both my website and my business.  In addition to her intuitive skills, Jo is a savvy, self-employed business woman herself, which is exactly who I need to mentor me through this process.

Her guidance has been, and continues to be, invaluable as I navigate my way into a more aligned and soulful expression of my essence.  Jo is a delight to work with, skillfully weaving practical advice with visionary inspiration.  She meets me exactly where I am in the moment while encouraging me to stretch my wings and fly!
Kristina Wingeier, Doula & Healer

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jo and her business coaching! She has been an incredible guide to me personally, as a jewelry artist and in the growth and success of my business Kate Peterson Designs.

During our business coaching sessions Jo uses her intuitive ability to essentially custom design a plan for me to navigate through the unfamiliar yet exciting journey of expanding my jewelry business. Within 2 years my business grew from selling at open studios out of my home to renting a small retail space within a gallery to now opening my own retail store, Adorn & Flourish.

Sometimes, especially during these tough economical times, I come to a session with Jo low in confidence about whether I’m doing what is best for me as an artist and business owner. Her realistic advice continues to give me the guidance I need and the support I crave. But one of the most amazing things about Jo is that she gives me the knowing that I’m doing my life’s work, that I’m in the place of my authentic self and that I’m giving a positive part of myself to my customers through the beauty of my designs.

Jo’s business coaching sessions will always be an integral step on the path to improving and growing my jewelry business.
Kate Peterson, Jewelry Artist and Business Owner

In the last year and a half I’ve had many big life changes and Jo has been there to help guide me through them all. Her intuition and gentle nature were a source of inspiration through it all.
Monica Converse, Marketing Manager

First and foremost, Jo is one of the most healing and intuitive people I have ever met. My time with her is always uplifting and multi-faceted.  I am continually impressed by the creative perspective Jo offers, as well as her ability to connect ideas that ultimately encourage the growth needed during important life transitions. Jo has fantastic energy and brings tremendous passion for her work.

Her insight and services are valuable for anyone seeking a fresh perspective, or for anyone looking to understand life’s infinite possibilities. She equips her clients with all the tools necessary to begin a fun, positive, meaningful trip to self-discovery, and she brings a fantastic sense of humor and vitality along the way.
