Jo Miller

Jo is a Trainee Elder, Somatic Teacher, and engaged citizen who has specialist interests in developmental, collective, and systemic trauma and shame. She is a Board Member and Senior Trainer of the Focalizing Institute, a somatic training institute that trains therapists and healers in somatic skills internationally. Having trained directly with some of the leaders in her field, she is forever the student and a very grateful teacher.

If you meet her you will feel her relaxed style, hear her deep Northern accent and sense her grounded sense of being. She comes from a long line of working class, big-hearted folk from the north of England and home is currently the blue sea of Margate with her two cats, Zac and Poncho.

There is a deep belief that runs through her bones that when we become more intimate with our body's wisdom, we get to change the world around us from the inside out.
