Jo Baker is the founder of the Believe Lifestyle Centre. Since beginning the company in 2006, Jo has taught countless women who feel trapped by their to do lists how to break free and live purposeful and passionate lives on their terms. She works with her clients to help them energize and balance their busy lives, deepen their personal connections and establish purpose in their lives and work.
Jo works with women who are trying hard to have it all. They’re working really hard at juggling everything and keeping it all up in the air. They’re running themselves ragged trying to keep everyone happy. They’ve become lost in their own schedule.
Jo works with them to bring more balance back into their life. They begin by simplifying things. Together, Jo and her clients start by working on the things that the client likes or doesn’t like. What makes her strong and what makes her weak. They put some boundaries in place. They work on strategies to manage the guilt. Jo teaches her how to say no. Then they work on what having it all means and surprisingly it’s often simple and elegant. A beautiful reflection of her. When they have finished their work together, she is happy, content and connected to what’s important to her. Her life is much more colourful, yet much simpler.

A Note from Jo
I woke up on my 31st birthday and there was something different about this birthday. Something that I hadn’t felt or experienced before. There was a restlessness. An unfamiliar feeling that something was missing. Yet, looking around, my world appeared complete. I had worked hard to get to where I was. Made many sacrifices. Done the hard work. Yet I found myself at a place where I was unfulfilled. I searched for answers in many places. Food. Shopping. Each time, stretching out, trying to find the answers. Trying to find the drink that would quench this thirst.
My search took me to my doctor. She referred me to someone who would help put the light back into my world. It had become very dark.
In this place, I was able to say all the things I had always wanted to say. Things I had never said because I was afraid to hurt someone. All the things that for many years remained secret and private and only for me to know. This person provided a safe space of trust and respect, of the like I had never experienced before. The biggest question he asked me was “what do you want?” and when I found that I couldn’t answer that, I began my journey to find myself. My true self. The self that was destined for greatness. The me that was meant to do more with my life. Through the time working together, I discovered so much about myself. As my trust in myself grew, so did my confidence. My ability to make a decision and back myself was strengthened.
Looking back, it’s like I was the butterfly emerging out of the cocoon. With colours so bright, my whole world was shining like it never had before.
Why do I do this?
Great question. Someone actually took the time to sit down with me and helped me see my life through new eyes. They didn’t give up on me when it got hard. And it did get hard at times. The hardest part of this work is being open and suspending the judgments that you already have created. Yet once you get past the fears and the negative beliefs, you can begin to focus on your strengths, your passions and what’s important to you. It’s at the intersection of these things where you will find your bliss – the life that you were meant to live.
