Jo’s Journey

Laughter is the language of the soul.
— Pablo Neruda

Hi, I'm Jo Carter ✨

My journey into the world of Reiki began in 1999 with my first attunement into the Usui Shiki Ryoho System, founded by Dr Mikao Usui. Fast forward to today, I am now a 3rd Degree Reiki Practitioner. Additionally, since 2022, I have been practicing the Tong Ren Healing System developed by Tom Tam. These two modalities are highly complementary and have captivated my full attention. I am constantly being amazed with the results and it makes my heart sing when I hear feedback and see the relief that it has given my clients and the positive changes that are occurring in their lives.

Outside of my healing practices, I am deeply involved in family life and continually explore holistic healing modalities to fuel my passion. My interests span a wide range of creative endeavours including fantasy art dolls, costuming, painting, sculpting and more. Infused with a touch of fantasy and glitter, these pursuits bring immense joy to my inner fairy child. Those who step into my Reiki hut, The Holistic Shebang, will experience a glimmer of my creative spirit. Creativity is a cornerstone of my life, providing balance and nurturing my soul, while humour is what keeps me bouncing along.

My little hut found her new home a few years ago and I lovingly renovated her with great passion and vision, creating an earthy, serene and enchanted space. Surrounded by nature and offering a peaceful view of the Bay of Plenty, it serves as the perfect sanctuary for my clients to unwind and relax.

I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet you, walk alongside you on your unique journey, and be a part of your healing experience. It is a true honour ✨
