Your Journey to Inner Strength Starts Now
Our Story
Return to BASE was born out of Jo's own experience. The moment she chose herself and went in pursuit of rebuilding her life.
This started the moment she stopped letting her inner critic drive, faced her doubt, her self-sabotage, her unhelpful behaviours, and poured everything into an unshakeable belief.
She could build an internal world strong enough to fly from.
True.
From that belief, Return to BASE was built.
Next we got wildly certain that a strong BASE doesn't just hold you up. It sets you free, to actually live, joyous and centred, instead of just getting through the day.
We proved it ourselves, in a real life rebuilt from nothing.
Then we proved it again, in the psychology behind why it works.
Also True.
Everything we do is rooted in the belief that we all deserve joy, freedom and self love.
This is not a theory Jo found
It is the one she had to build herself.
Years of high stress and unprocessed life events and pressure eventually caught up with her. She became so unwell that she lost the ability to walk, to talk, to function. She was told she would not walk again, and that she would not be able to continue working.
She did not accept that as the end of the story.
She relearned how to walk. She relearned how to exercise. She rebuilt her health, her strength, and her sense of herself, one deliberate step at a time. She went on to qualify for Team GB in triathlon. She built not one but two thriving businesses. She raised two children through all of it.
Alongside the rebuilding, she went back to study, completing a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology and Organisational Leadership Psychology as well as functional wellness, because she wanted to understand what had happened to her, and what had brought her back.
She lost her base. All of it. She built a new one, this time on purpose. She called it BASE.
We committed to the belief that humans are remarkable. That you can be kind, loving, heart led, free, and still formidable in the pursuit of the life you want to live, and the version of you living it.
Today,
we work across every domain of the human experience. The founder. The MD. The exec. The mum. The wife. The colleague. The friend. The athlete. The Teacher. Our Children. You. The seekers, the dreamers, the open ones, who truly recognise that their internal BASE supports, dictates, and directs everything built on top of it.
