"I would highly recommend a retreat with Jo, I had a wonderful couple of days enjoying delicious Ayurvedic food, having blissful treatments, and relaxing watching the ducks and baby chicks wander around the garden. Jo and her husband are very welcoming and I felt immediately relaxed and at home. I also loved her autumn foraging workshop and have since even done some foraging in a London park! Can't wait to come back soon." (Oliva Berthon)
"Jo's Ayurveda Clinic is a little piece of paradise. The garden is full of wildflowers, organic veggies, bees, butterflies, birdsong, medicinal herbs and you can feel the loving energy that has been poured into creating this place over time. There are not many authentic places left these days but this is definitely one. Jo is a long term practitioner with a degree in Ayurveda so she can read the pulse, diagnose and administer herbs. She can also offer all of the Ayurvedic therapies and I had all of them :-) I've had a lot of Ayurveda treatments over a couple of decades and these were excellent. I could really hibernate and let go of the world. The meals were freshly prepared by Jo. Fresh asparagus from the garden, quinoa, lentil dahl, date & ginger chutney and homemade buttermilk with rose and cardamom... yum. The whole thing has been heavenly and I feel so much more balanced and grounded after 4 days here. Very highly recommended!"

"I recently booked a residential Ayurveda package with Jo to help calm my nervous system. Afterwards, when writing to a friend, I said: “I feel like a bliss ball!” That truly captures it — I felt deeply nurtured, relaxed, and purposeful. My spirit was soaring after being made to feel so welcome. The day began with a detailed consultation — a follow-up for me, as I had seen Jo about a month earlier. The Ayurvedic treatment that followed focused on deep relaxation and nurturing my heart. It was absolutely heavenly. Warm towels, beautiful oils, and an hour and a half of being guided deeper and deeper into peace. The oils smelled so divine I bought some to take home as a reminder. Jo’s skill in both Ayurvedic assessment and therapeutic massage meant my nervous system let go easily. I genuinely felt each cell smiling. Having the space to myself afterwards was a gift. I could journal, stretch with some yoga, or walk straight out into the peaceful countryside. The next morning, as I ate breakfast, a pair of Indian runner ducks wandered up to the door to say hello. The autumn leaves were just turning, and the bright red crab apples glowed against the blue sky, rolling green hills, and organic vegetable garden. It was stunning, and my spirit welcomed the respite. Food is also an important part of the experience, and Jo brought me a fresh kitchari that was both delicious and full of Ayurvedic nourishment. I’ve already booked again for December!’ (Victoria Woodward, November 2025)
