Ayurveda consultations
"Highly recommend I went to Jo for liver problems and bloating and general health. I am amazed in 2 months. My liver is so much better my levels for alt have more than halved, and I have lost weight, which was impossible before . Her kindness and understanding and the first time in a very long time I have felt heard . This has improved my life so much. (Steph Mc Veigh, Liver issue)
"I have now seen Joanna several times in her health clinic and found her amazing. She puts you at ease while she listens to why you've come and then discusses with you what she feels would be your best way forward. Her massages are also amazing." (Marilyn Botterill, chronic skin issue)
"Thank you so much for the session and treatments yesterday. It was exactly as I hoped, but have never found before - immensely informative and deeply nourishing wrapped up in kindness and beauty. The massage was so relaxing and I really appreciated your care with the petals in the foot bath, the warm bed ... all of it was just lovely" (Jo Fuller, Frome)
"After sitting down with Jo, everything seemed to fall in to place. The bloating, cramps, rollercoaster moods, had a reason. For so long we’ve been bombarded by the media over what to eat and how to exercise for optimal health, without taking a minute to step back and ask if this is right for ME. What works for someone else, won’t necessarily work for you, and this is the most important thing that I have learnt. With my symptoms greatly reduced since making lots of small changes, I have no doubt that following an Ayurvedic lifestyle will help me on my path to achieving the best that I can be." Clare Farthing, Coach and Mentor
"From my first consultation with Jo, I felt sure that I had come to the right place. She has a lovely calm energy and listens and asks questions with just the right balance of care and professionalism. Just six months down the line I was sleeping soundly, my energy levels had increased and overall I was feeling so much better. I am so glad I made the decision to take the Ayurvedic route to improving my health and can highly recommend Jo as an Ayurvedic practitioner." (AM)
“I really wanted to get more healthy so I could make sure I gave myself the best chance to live into my 80s or even 90s so I could see my 4 grandchildren through their teenage years and happily into their 20s. (I'm 75).I have always worked very hard. I was feeling quite a bit of stress. I was overweight and often felt breathless when climbing hills. My sleep was erratic. It wasn't that I ate really badly. I've always had plenty of fresh veg and very little processed food. Throughout my life I had dieted on and off, fasted, done all sorts of things, only to find I would lose weight but not be able to maintain it. I learnt from Jo that how I eat matters as much as what I eat and I had never really taken much notice of how I felt before or after eating. Now it has become a much more conscious process and I am enjoying cooking again. Sugar has become more or less a complete no-no and I have to say I don't really miss it. I think all the delicious spices really help.I have found the Ayurvedic principles very sound and they have stood the test of time. In changing what I eat and how I eat, I have lost 3st and gone down two sizes. I would still like to lose another stone so am staying with Jo at least until I reach my target. I enjoy the massages too so I'm sure that will continue beyond then. “ (Barbara M, weight loss, energy )
“I really enjoyed this [first consultation], a very warm welcome, a sense of being able to talk in a non judgemental, confidential atmosphere. I left inspired and clutching some great advice. I am one stone lighter now then when I had my first consultation, I’d like to have seen this weight reduction be significantly more, but I think it is an appropriate reflection of the effort I’ve been able to put in so far…This has been a very enriching and beneficial experience so far.”
” Thank you so much for the consultation yesterday I feel so much better and very positive about finally dealing with my health problems and becoming really well. I was sent a very full and useful assessment of my problems and what I need to do about them- a plethora of fantastic information. I have just printed it all out and am looking forward to settling down and reading it”.
Warm oil massage (Ayurvedic abhyanga)
"I had a hot oil massage with Jo and can honestly say it was one of the best massages Ive ever had! The whole experience-from the tea and the chat to the sumptuous oils and foot rub was just the best. My muscles were relaxed and I felt I was floating on air afterwards! I strongly recommend a Jo-inspired treat once a month for proper wellbeing in your life. I will be back!" (Zoe Schoon)
"Following my first massage with Joanna my immediate reaction was the rather inelegant 'all other massages are dead to me'. But it was honestly that good! I am very sensitive to environment and her lovely location in Batcombe, coupled with a very cosy and pretty treatment room allowed me to relax instantly. I loved the Ayurvedic oil massage and left feeling incredibly peaceful and very pleased that I had finally booked in." Camilla Parkes)
"I love going for massages with Jo. Jo is so warm and welcoming, it’s like chatting with an old friend. The foot bath at the beginning is a lovely extra to a wonderful massage." (Claire Orpin, Frome)
"Having had massages regularly for 20 years, different types and in many countries; JoJo’s massage was one of the best I’ve experienced at m a long time. Her calm and gentle manner due to her obvious experience was just what I needed. Her therapy room is absolutely beautiful and after I had my session, I felt like I had slept for 8 hours. I highly recommend her!" (Hennie Gosling)
"I had an Abhyanga massage with Jo. She was so caring before the massage even started, bathing my feet and giving me plenty of time. I had a cold and Jo offered me lots of options to be comfortable as I was so congested. I felt a lot better after the massage and will be going back asap!" (Poppy Altmann, London)
"Jo’s hot oil massage was deeply restorative for me. The atmosphere is very calm and nurturing. She has magic hands that ease away tension but also works to calm my nervous system. Always lifts me. Thank you!" (Sammy Mennell)
"I just wanted to let you know that the massage had a major positive effect! My body feels much less achy and uncomfortable, less cold, muscles more relaxed, and I have reduced tingling in my hands. This has been accompanied by an improvement in my walking, stability, and energy. Although there has been some 'fading' of this during the day, that's been happening daily for some time now. I feel very encouraged by my response to the massage both generally and in terms of my ability/resilience to travel to India." (Stuart Kipling)
"I had an Ayurvedic massage with Jo and felt so incredibly relaxed for days afterwards. The massage started with a warm footbath, and gentle chat about my health. The massage itself was wonderful – Jo used warmed oils that smelled amazing and infused my whole body with a feeling of comfort and wellbeing. We finished with delicious herbal tea. Will definitely be going back!" (Abi Siri Anderson)
"As a Ayurvedic massage practitioner myself, l really appreciate receiving the warm oil Abhyanga massage from Joanna. She uses some nourishing Ayurvedic oils and her space is very welcoming and relaxing. If you want a deeply relaxing massage l can highly recommend her." (Candida Valentino, Frome)
Pregnancy massage
"I had multiple pregnancy massages with Joanna in the lead up to giving birth. They were incredibly relaxing and she always made sure I was comfortable and checked in with any problems that week. Joanna gave lots of extra information and tips about pregnancy and birth and the cup of tea and snack after was always delicious (especially the dried apple from her garden)!" (Camilla Wordie)
"The best experience I could have asked for during my last week of pregnancy - so relaxing and in such a lovely environment. Jo was wonderful, insightful and carried out the most incredible Ayurvedic pregnancy massage. I totally switched off and felt blissful afterwards! I will be back for more lovely treatments." (Iona Keene)
Ayurvedic treatments
"Heart Dhara Treatment with Jo I was drawn to having a heart dhara treatment with Jo after having experienced a few roller coaster years of being a carer, family bereavements and some health issues. I had no idea what to expect but Jo was so lovely I felt that I could relax and just see what happened. During the session I began to feel a sense of calm as the warm oil was poured rhythmically over my heart area. It was so peaceful, all my senses seemed heightened, and I could feel my breathing deepen. I really felt like it was the beginning of nurturing and reconnecting with myself again." Jo Harris, Somerset
"Joanna combines the best of all worlds: deeply knowledgeable and yet able to share that in a very do-able way; treatments that takes you into the deepest relaxation; and a warm, nurturing treatment space. I can heartedly recommend Joanna." (Emma Donovon, Bruton)
"Jo not only knows her stuff but she is a lovely human. She took the time to really get to know my issues (sinusitus) and created a plan of action. The treatments were a joy to experience and through her recommendations my breathing has got loads better and in turn I am sleeping again. Highly recommended Jo, in fact I have to a few people already!" (Nisha White)
Yoga
"I had a 1 -1 session with Jo. We worked on some alternative positions in Yoga for me as I had fractured my wrists in the past and can't put too much weight through them. I found the 1 - 1 really beneficial for me. And would recommend it. Jo has given me the confidence to join her Yoga class on a Monday evening." (Fay Tucker)
"I attend a regular class at Ayurveda Health Clinic, Batcombe. Thank you Joanna for warm welcomes, truly satisfying and nurturing yoga classes and chai and snack before leaving. I heartily recommend Joanna at Ayurveda Health clinic." (Sarah Vaughan)
“I strongly believe the yoga helped release tension around my neck, and help with my headaches. The breathing exercises also helped release toxins out from my body as well as change my brain chemicals! The supper after was excellent. Today, you showed us your favorites super foods and let us sample them which was great. Thank you very much again for the class tonight!” Katie M, Bristol
“I loved the yoga which was pitched at just the right level. It was also good to learn how yoga can be incorporated into daily life, and after the weekend my general understanding of yoga has deepened”.
Somerset retreats
"I recently attended an Ayurvedic retreat with Joanna and came away feeling so nurtured and informed about the benefits of foraging and use of plants in creating holistic health. Her knowledge and enthusiasm were impressive! The massage by her was one of the best I have ever had. She was so in tune with my needs, and definitely has healing hands. Thank you Jo. You are Ab Fab! "(Bina Patel London)
Foraging workshops
"Thanks Jo for a Great Day foraging and making. Really enjoyed it. Learnt more from you today than 2 one day and 1 four day course. Will definitely be returning for Spring/Summer. Thanks for passing on your knowledge at such a reasonable cost." (Steve, Devizes)
"Can highly recommend Jo's foraging workshop - we had the most wonderful sunny Sunday in April - foraging plentiful wild garlic, cleavers, nettles and many other plants - most of which were new to me. We learned a lot. It was great back at Jo's delightful house for drinks and lunch - we got to sample a delicious wild garlic & nettle kimchi, wild garlic butter, an amazing foraged soup and many other foods, topped off with a lovely nettle cake & dandelion coffee in the garden! We took home foraged goodies and information/recipes - it was lovely to meet other interesting people in the group too. Thank you Jo, for a fantastic day! PS. Just to add Jo is a lovely guide & healer - so knowledgeable and helpful. I love the way she brings in her Ayurvedic knowledge to all that she does - inspirational." (Frances Free)
"I had the most magical morning foraging with Jo in the most beautiful village of Batcombe– totally worth the drive from Farnham. Jo was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making the whole experience feel relaxed, fun, and genuinely inspiring. We wandered through the woods and hedgerows, learning about all sorts of edible plants I’d have never noticed on my own. Afterwards, we went back to her lovely home, where she prepared an incredible lunch using what we’d found – everything was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully put together. Sitting around her table, chatting and eating what we’d foraged that morning, felt so wholesome and special. Such a unique experience – I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a little adventure, a bit of learning, and a really lovely day out in nature." (Nicola Budd)
"12/10 for a perfect perfect foraging day with Jo. Super knowledgeable, she welcomed my dog along too, and created a very relaxed and extremely informative space for all. The lunch and making session at her beautiful home was just perfect. I cannot recommend this highly enough" (Astrid Callomon)
"What a fantastic day out with Joanna Webber on her Spring foraging course. Her depth and wealth of knowledge coupled with her bright and bubbly energy made for an unforgettable experience. I’m excited to join her for another one as there is so much to learn and so many most recipes to try. Thank you for offering your love and knowledge of foraging and Ayurvedic living to us all." (Liz Barile-Page, Bristol)
"I have just been on Jo's Autumn Equinox foraging workshop and absolutely loved it. Despite the grotty weather, which meant we didn't manage the foraging walk, we hunkered down in Jo's beautiful, cosy home. Enjoyed delicious teas and seasonal treats and made our own autumnal tonics. Jo generously shared so much wisdom in such a joyful way. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and would highly recommend these workshops. Superb value for money and a nourishing treat to the soul. Thank you Jo!" (Rhi Hepple, New Forest)
