About Jo

Hi my name is Jo Carter, and I’m the heart and hands behind The Holistic Shebang - a space for healing, realignment, and gentle transformation.
My approach is grounded, compassionate, and often sprinkled with lightness and laughter. I believe that true well-being begins with presence, compassion, and connection - not just with others, but with your own energy, emotions, and inner wisdom. Whether you’re feeling stuck, soul-weary, or simply craving a reset, I’m here to support your journey back to balance.
​
Through Reiki, Tong Ren, Sound Healing, Crystal Healing and Intuitive energy work, I offer a sanctuary where you can breathe deeply, release what no longer serves you, and come home to yourself. These sessions are more than just treatments they are sacred pauses in a world that often moves too fast.

My Approach

I started my adventure into Reiki in 1999 and over the years, I’ve worked with people navigating all kinds of transitions from everyday stress to deep emotional healing, and even End-of-Life care.
​
What I’ve learned is this:
~ There is a quiet power in simply being with someone, energy to energy, heart to heart.
~ Healing doesn’t always look like fixing. Sometimes, it’s about holding space, deeply and tenderly, for what is.
As a Holistic Practitioner, I offer deeply intuitive, energy-based healing to help you reconnect, rebalance, and restore.
​
At The Holistic Shebang, I work holistically - addressing the emotional, spiritual, mental and physical aspects of well-being. The name isn’t just a catchy phrase - it reflects my whole-person approach. You could say I cover the whole shebang!!
​

End-of-Life Care

I hold a deep passion for End-of-Life Care, offering Reiki as a compassionate companion during life’s most sacred transition. It is a profound honour to sit with someone at this threshold - bringing comfort, calm, and presence.
I am currently training as an End-of-Life Doula, expanding this offering to provide deeper, ongoing support for individuals and their loved ones through this tender journey.
This work isn’t about fixing - it’s about being present, holding space with gentleness, and honouring the moment with love and respect.
​
If you're ready to release what no longer serves you, rebalance your system, and reconnect with your inner wisdom, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
​
With luv, Jo ✨

During the final days of my dearest friend Mandy’s life - she was only 50 - a very special person Jo Carter came to visit and offer Reiki. Her presence was gentle, respectful, and deeply caring. She spent generous time with Mandy, holding space and gifting her the healing energy of Reiki. The sessions were truly beautiful. Mandy, though nearing the end of her life, cherished every moment. She would often speak of how soothing and peaceful she felt afterward. It was clear that the Reiki brought her comfort - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Something remarkable unfolded during those visits. The room at Hospice where Mandy was transformed - it became very sacred. The energy shifted. There was a sense of deep peace and presence that lingered, embracing all who entered.
I believe this offering helped Mandy soften into the process of dying with more ease and grace. The connection, the care, and the energetic support made a profound difference - not only for her, but for those of us who were walking beside her.
I will always be grateful for the way Reiki was shared so compassionately at such a sacred time.
