Testimonials

Jo performed remote Tong Ren therapy on me twice. Both times she called me first and discussed my health issues. I noticed after each therapy a lighter feeling and calmness. Slowly and steadily I have started to feel better, and I have more energy. I found that I now want to get off all of my medications that have been prescribed by my doctors, and have begun taking control of my diet and exercise routine. It’s almost like I have a mission now to do these things and be a healthier version of me. I can’t say enough good things about Jo. She is a very caring person who truly wants to help people. I highly recommend her therapies. ~ Annette Dudley Wright, USA

Jo is an angel. My son in law was in the hospital suffering from an issue with his heart. He and my daughter have two small children and I was very upset. I saw someone that I trust very much post Jo’s offer to perform Tong Ren to see if it could help heal people. I reached out to her and she responded right away. She performed Tong Ren that evening and he started feeling better right away. She did another session on him the next day. He was released from the hospital a few days later, and has been steadily improving since then. I highly recommend Jo. She is very caring and you will not regret having her perform a Tong Ren therapy on you. ~ Annette, USA

Before my session with Jo I was experiencing lots of pain in my back, jaw and neck. Also tooth issues. And a dysregulated nervous system. We had a lovely chat first thing. Jo went out of her way to better understand the issues I was dealing with. So very light hearted and witty and humorous yet super compassionate and empathetic. We hung up the phone and she started her magic. I felt energy being moved and transmuted and removed as I relaxed. Truly a unique and gentle experience. Never been so relaxed before. After she finished she followed up with another chat on the phone to analyze and explain the work. Since this healing I truly feel sooooo much better. Pain went from a 10 to a 1. Everything feels better. Blockages we're definitely removed for good. I am so incredibly grateful for the amazing healing I had with Jo. Highly recommended!!! ~ Patrick Butler, USA

I have had 2 sessions of Tong Ren and Ultrawave with Jo and can honestly say I have felt some big shifts already.
After the initial one, she explained the areas that were weak and had worked on, this really resonated with me as one particular area had been pointed out to me by two other practitioners in the past. In the following days I was very emotional and had some realisations and clarity on things from the past. Then after the second session I began to get alot of energy in my body and creative ideas and solutions to problems started to come to me. It feels like she has cleared blockages and stagnant energy that was holding me back from getting into action. I'm excited to see how it all transpires and am very grateful to Jo for her help. She is such a genuine person with a kind heart and I feel she is very gifted at what she does. I would highly recommend you give it a try. ~ Amy, UK

I received Jo's information from a friend of mine. After recently losing two very important people to me within five days of one another, I knew I needed some help! Jo was amazing! First of all, she did a very lengthy intake call to really understand what was happening to me physically and emotionally. She was so empathic and I felt instantly that she cared about me as a person and wanted to help. It was amazing to me that she could do reiki remotely as I live in the US, but she did! It was therapeutic and unbelievable! After, we chatted for a while to go through how both of us felt. The next few days I just felt lighter! It is hard to describe but it had a major impact on me! I will definitely use Jo again, she has an amazing gift and wants to help others. She has a beautiful light about her. ~ Kaylene, USA

Jo is amazing at what she does. I've had an ongoing problem with my leg which has made standing for long periods of time very difficult. After 2 treatments of Tong Ren and Ultrawave (remotely) I have been pain free for the majority of the day and been able to go on a long walk with no bother. I haven't been able to do that in over 3 years. Thank you so so much! ~ Krista I, UK

Just had an Ultrawave and Tong Ren session done remotely (Jo is in NZ and I am in PHX, USA). I could literally feel the healing energy right away, and am feeling wonderful afterwards! Jo also did the technique on my cat, Marshall. He, too, is feeling so much better! Thank you Jo The Holistic Shebang! We love you and believe in you. ~ Kristi C, USA

This was GREAT, I was laying in the hospital bed when she worked her magic. I could feel the energy, and warmth flowing through my body, when she got to my heart I could feel it patting ever so gently it was so cool. ~ Holly Messier, USA

I highly recommend The Holistic Shebang. The Reiki healing I had was very relaxing and I felt amazing afterwards, I went to see her for a shoulder injury while I was pregnant, and Jo was super careful and made me feel so relaxed. Jo is very passionate and professional at what she does. Can’t wait for my next appointment. ~ Courtney, NZ

I was introduced to Jo from a dear friend of mine who had just experienced her Tong Ren and Reiki program and she was ecstatic with the results. I followed up with Jo the following week and after a 10-minute conversation she suggested I start with Reiki. I was a bit skeptical on the procedure as Jo was in New Zealand and I am in the US but 2 days after the session I am a true believer in Jo and her abilities to zero on what you need! Everything Jo said after doing my Reiki and what I felt the next day was incredible and I must say I feel completely different i.e. calm, relaxed and looking forward to my next session with Jo. ~ Sue, USA

I want to express my appreciation for Jo. Yesterday I had a remote Tong Ren and Reiki healing session. My session goal was to release remnants of emotional trauma, and to start the healing of a skin condition that I’ve had for many years. Jo did a pre-call with me to get to know me, build a connection, and to understand my goals. She was able to ‘read’ my ailments without my telling her what they were. She is most definitely a medical intuitive. During the 2 hour session, I experienced one of the most profound emotional and physical releases I have ever had. She connected to me energetically from all the way across the globe, literally—as I am in Phoenix, Arizona, and she is in New Zealand. During the session I could literally feel my chakras clearing one by one, along with an incredible warmth all over my body. I sobbed loudly and uncontrollably and breathed heavily as things released. Then I went out of my body to rest as my body fell asleep. While there, I had profound interactions with an ascended master and a spirit guide and they helped to guide and reassure me. It was amazing! Post the session, I felt very tired, but in a good way, and I could tell that many years of pent-up pain, resentment and trauma had been released. The skin condition will be healed over time. This was step one. I look forward to our next session!! ~ Kristi C, USA

Before my session conducted by Jo, I've never heard of Tong Ren before. After hearing Rebel's experience which she shared on the podcast, I was stoked and connected with Jo for a session. I wasn't quite sure what to expect and went into the start of the process with an open mind. Jo was extremely thorough and asked many questions concerning my aches, pains, and the struggles I have had with my body throughout the years. When the initiatory process wrapped up and the session commenced, it was such a surreal feeling! I was able to see vivid colors with my eyes closed and even frequency patterns as the energy shifted and circulated throughout my body. To be quite honest, I fell into a deep sleep the entire time. When I was prompted to wake up, the stiffness that I previously experienced within my joints was gone and the entirety of my body had an intense amount of energy which I had been lacking. I can't remember the last time I woke up feeling so refreshed and rejuvenated. Jo is the real deal! I'll be utilizing her services as part of my own wellness/self-care routine. Thank you so much, Jo!  ~ Cael Wildheart, USA

I was so grateful to meet Jo recently and have a light Tong Ren session and Reiki session. I'm currently pregnant and Jo was amazing about how much energy/vibration could affect her so she suggested a light session until after she is born and we did a Reiki session to follow up my Tong Ren session right after. Jo was amazing and I could feel so much happening in my session. I even saw some of my guides and so did Jo and that was absolutely awesome to experience with her. The baby also enjoyed the session as she was kicking and moving! I can't wait for another session with Jo. I feel so good and I very much enjoyed the experience. Thank you so much Jo sending you so much love, protection and infinite abundance ❤️❤️ ~ Angela Walker, USA

Jo came into my life shortly after hearing about Tong Ren and I was curious about it. I asked her what it was and she gave me a summary and I booked a session! I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I have had reiki before. This was not at all like any reiki session I’ve ever had and it was INCREDIBLE! I went into the session with hip, back, and shoulder issues that I’ve had for a very long time. During the session I felt waves of energy on my skin and within my body. I felt a shift in my sinuses, which I hadn’t noticed being much of an issue, and some draining. I felt like a giant magnet was beneath me, pulling energy down. It was very pleasant and it left me feeling refreshed and relaxed. Over the next few days I noticed more energy returning and the discomfort I had experienced in my hips and back was virtually gone!
Jo is an amazing, caring, insightful, and kind individual who cares deeply about her clients and their experience. My experience was remote- yet it felt like an in-person session. I 1000% recommend her to everyone I talk to now! Thank you Jo for everything that you do and everything that you are 💜 ~ Kristin Carpenter, USA

As a professional woman who prioritises my holistic wellbeing, my experience with 'The Holistic Shebang' was truly transformative. The practitioner's 90 minute energetic healing session, incorporating Reiki, crystals, and singing bowls, provided a rejuvenating experience that addressed both my energetic and physical needs. The practitioner's generosity was evident as she channeled all her energy towards my wellness, creating a serene and caring environment. I highly recommend 'The Holistic Shebang' to anyone seeking a comprehensive and deeply rejuvenating healing experience. ~ Jo Allum, NZ

I’ve been blessed to have two distance Reiki and Tong Ren treatments with Jo and am so very grateful to her for giving me such relief within such a short time.  I’ve had severe sinus issues for months culminating in badly blocked ears, particularly my right ear.  I have been put on so many courses of various antibiotics with no real change apart from extra gut issues.  Within minutes of our first session ending, my right ear cleared and I could hear properly for the first time in ages!  We’ve just had our second session and the effects are just as positive- so relaxing and I feel I am definitely on my way to making a full recovery after months of pain, discomfort and misery. I would highly recommend Jo and her amazing healing energy… Thank you Jo. ~ Jennifer Bax, AUSTRALIA

Very grateful to Jo for comforting Baxter (12 yr old Miniature Jack Russell) with her gentle reiki. She has a deep sense of calm and a positive glow about her. I know Baxter felt loved and supported before he passed. Thanks Jo. ~ Amanda Niven, NZ

I can not recommend Jo at The Holistic Shebang enough. Was in a car accident in April, ended up with SEVERE PAIN in my shoulder and arm. Had many physio sessions and still had pain, if anything it was getting worse. One Reiki and Tong Ren session with Jo and haven't had pain or issues since. Jo’s care and beautiful energy is healing beyond words. I’m full of gratitude. Jo thank you. ~ Bernadette Hastie, NZ

After 7 years in the army and a couple of years wearing body armour every day, doing high intensity special forces training, my body was wrecked. I had a chat with Jo and she completed a Distant Tong Ren session for me to help my back. After one session, my back felt mint compared to the weeks before it. I’ve been able to sleep better and don’t need to wake up and stretch my back out straight away. She knows her stuff! ~ Anonymous

My husband and I just had Distant Tong Ren sessions with Jo. I have to say Jo is very professional and thorough with her approach and so caring. My husband had the best sleep he has had in months, along with a better colour in his face and his sinus is a lot clearer than when we started. Also the tinnitus in his ear has reduced immensely, so thank you Jo. Myself I loved the experience and would highly recommend Jo, she definitely has a gift. My tinnitus in one ear is so much better along with the constant swelling I have in my foot after an operation, it is slowly going down. I have also had a Reiki healing with Jo and have so say it was amazing, I don't think I have ever been so relaxed and felt straighter (posture) than I felt in years along with also the swelling in my foot and leg reducing. As I said previously, Jo definitely has a gift and we will both be back Thanks Jo. ~ Anonymous

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to watch Jo as she performed Reiki for the palliative care of my dear friend at the end of her life and battle with cancer.  I witnessed peace and healing that couldn’t be measured. The compassion and care in which Jo put into her healing hands, we will forever be grateful for. Mandy, her family and those who love her would highly recommend Jo from The Holistic Shebang for anyone who has friends or family who are in the end of life or palliative care. The peace she brings is priceless. Thank you Jo for everything. You are one of a kind. ~ Samantha Carter, NZ

After going down the track of traditional healing, getting x-rays which show spurs on my heal and securing a phone consultation 3 months after my x-rays the specialist was convinced it was Tabiofibular ligaments that join two bones so surgery was dismissed and the pain continued. By the end of a working day I couldn't put any weight on my heal, very painful. After talking to my sister in-law Jo Carter, she kindly offered to do some Tong Ren. To be fair I was a little skeptical of this hocus-pocus but I had nothing to loose. So yes we organised a suitable time. Jo waved her wand and performed her magic, I can only say WOW, that night I had a great sleep and the next day I was putting more weight on my heal. Surprised at the rapid result the days following it just got better and better. A few months on I have no pain what so ever in my heal, so many thanks Jo, you got me. ~ Anonymous

Once again I have had the most amazing experience with Jo. I had an afternoon of Tong Ren in regards to my high blood pressure.  We started and my blood pressure was high, ended with it being high but two days later it was down to a level I have not had for many, many years. It has consistently stayed down.  Jo thank you for facilitating this healing for me. I will be forever grateful. ~ Joanna Payne, NZ

Jo is amazing! I had the best Reiki experience with her. She definitely has the power and all vibes to give you the energy and alignments you are looking for. I went up with a bad headache and she’s did 1:30min Reiki front and back on me. When we finished I was feeling great and lighter… I highly recommend Jo. She’s the best!!!  Also… the environment is awesome!  ~ Vivian Messina, NZ

I had an amazing experience with Jo, while l was sick with a sinus infection, Jo offered to do distant Tong Ren on me. She was able to clear my sinuses up. It took a couple of hours to go fully through me but when it had, it freed everything up and l haven’t had any blocked sinuses since then. It was an absolutely amazing experience and would definitely recommend others to go reach out to Jo for her amazing talent! You definitely won’t be disappointed! The Holistic Shebang thank you so much for your work! Appreciate it so much. ~ Chloe Winton, NZ

It's hard to describe the experience you walk away with ... for you to fix my shoulder that was playing up ... was more than I could have hoped for. To take away the twitching which meant my anxiety was coming on ....
