274 - Jo Darling - How to Honor Healing as a Collaborative Act

Self-care is a basic human right. Sadly, intuitive healing practices like acupuncture are often dismissed, especially in Western society, as woo-woo or pseudoscientific time-wasters. Thank goodness for practitioners like the delightful Jo Darling in Brighton, UK!  Jo is passionate about women's health and healing, and she's also co-host Anne Remy's acupuncturist, so we'll finally get to the core of Anne's cross liver sitch. Are you curious about how acupuncture works and why this Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has stood the test of time? Jo offers clear, supportive answers––and she does so with a delightful laugh!  GUEST BIO Jo Darling is an experienced acupuncturist based in Brighton & Hove, with a passion for supporting health and wellbeing through holistic practices. She specializes in fertility, cancer care, menopause, and pain relief, bringing a thoughtful and individualized approach to her work. Jo enjoys sharing her knowledge and insights to help others navigate their health journeys with confidence and care.
