    Jo Huey
    Jo is the daughter of an alcoholic father who passed away just before her 21st birthday. She subsequently had an older sister who became addicted to alcohol and a younger sister to drug addiction, both now in recovery. Jo has spent the past 26 years improving and recovering from her childhood, starting up a business supporting daughters of alcoholics and supporting charities such as Adfam to help family members of addiction. Jo now works full time for the police and runs her own crystal business and has learnt that spiritualism has a huge place in her heart and life. There is hope and Jo shares her story to inspire and open the hearts and minds of her audience.
