REVIEW
"Jo Fay is an amazing healer. She is extremely intuitive, wise and generous in heart and spirit. I have received in person and distance healing from Jo. Both have been profound in supporting me through difficult times. Jo is kind, very knowledgeable in the healing arts and comes highly recommended. Not only is Jo a gifted healer, she’s an all round awesome human too!"

"I'm a regular here, Jo Fay's sessions always have me feeling light as a feather afterwards. I'ma young woman, but Jo's personality offers great comfort if I'm ever feeling self-conscious of my body and her spiritual healing gives me great clarity in any uncomfortable situations I face in life".

"I sense that in the pantheon of great healers, ShaWoman Jo is among the most versatile and adept at connecting with and healing the mind, body, and soul. Jo has a depth and breadth of healing knowledge that is dazzling, uplifting, and awe inspiring. Her approach is fluid, yet precise at tending to areas needing the most healing, even those unbeknownst to me She is super intuitive, playful, and genuine and emphasized the importance of using sharing vs 'teaching' ".

"Jo Fay’s intuitive touch, healing hands & wisdom have shifted physical & emotional pain from my body I’d be carrying for years. Highly HIGHLY recommend!
The depth of healing that occurs in one session with her has blown my mind every wtime 🤯 I have been seeing her for years when different pains and symptoms come up in my body and always leave feeling lighter, happier in my body and deeply relaxed.
Thank you Jo for your incredible healing touch & presence ♥️"

"At 80 years of age, Jo has helped me with feet troubles and all the things that come up since the loss of my husband. I am very grateful for the support she has given me over the last few years".

"Jo Fay has a true gift in what she offers
I attended a retreat held at the soul lodge and it was DIVINE!
You’d need years to receive the wisdom Jo has to offer, and she does amazingly at gifting as much knowledge and wisdom in the time available for immersive experiences with her
If you haven’t yet stepped into something that Jo offers AND if you have/haven’t been over to Stradbroke Island, this is a MUST".

“I feel so inspired. Jo Fay has such an amazing gift, I am so grateful she is willing to share it with us. It is easy to tell that she is natural born healer. In my sessions with Jo I have always felt very safe, very respected & grateful for her insights. Time with Jo is a valuable experience for anyone”.

"Jo is a healer of the highest calibre. When I see a therapist there are some things I hope they will pick up on, significant injuries for example. Jo is incredibly intuitive. She noticed every injury and ache and also tuned in so precisely to emotional issues. I was completely blown away by the depth of her understanding and compassion and the gentle guidance she offers. Jo is truly amazing".
