Introducing: Dr. Juliette Olivia “Jo” Harkins: visionary psychologist and creator of The Secret Sand Circle Therapy Tool.
Jo is an accomplished psychologist who pushes beyond the traditional boundaries of therapy, blending method with her intuitive, empathic insight.
She counsels patients in a comfortably furnished treatment space filled with blooming plants that she changes with the seasons. It is, by her design, a comforting atmosphere that supports patients as they face what they fear most: their own memories.
Jo extends her compassionate counseling through the use of unique practices and treatment tools she has conceived, including one learned from her grandmum.
The intuitive Irishwoman advised her granddaughter at a young age that “...every name tells a story.” She then shared the meaning of Jo’s first and middle names:
Juliette: a caring, intuitive soul
Olivia: a healer striving to make a difference.
Those meanings led the determined young girl to declare she would no longer be known by her given names. Instead, she combined their initials and rechristened herself “Jo.”
Years later, in launching her psychology counseling career, Jo incorporates her grandmum’s “every name tells a story” belief into her practice. She quickly learns that the meaning behind a person’s name can indeed reveal hidden truths about their character, their destiny and the secret memories they carry within them selves.
Jo’s belief is tested when, after ten years in practice, she decides to write a book about five patients who profoundly shaped her career—including the meanings of their given names. Yet with each story she writes, the edges of Jo's own identity begin to blur.
