Jo Stone - Mindset Coach, Founder & CEO of The Balance Institute
Hi! I'm Jo! I almost blew up my life in the search for balance.
I had it all! The successful corporate career, the brand new house, the wonderful husband and two gorgeous children. Yet, on the inside, I was burning out and wondered why I wasn't happy.
I spent 20 years in the corporate world, rising quickly to become a global organisation's Asia Pacific Chief Marketing Officer at 32.
I juggled this rapidly escalating career with raising two children, staying healthy by doing triathlons between babies and constantly pushing myself to be the best I could be. I even threw building my dream home from scratch into the mix.
While there were wonderful times, the juggle is real. Sick children. A husband with mental health challenges. Sudden deaths in the family. There was never a time when life was easy.
And while I had everything I ever wanted, I still wasn't happy.
I was constantly busy, felt guilty, struggled to switch off and was exhausted. Yet I was so full of adrenaline that I didn't even realise it.
So I began to change what I thought needed to change.
I quit the job, sold the house, even went as far as coming close to a divorce.
I thought blowing up my life was the answer, but it turns out, the common denominator in everything was me.
And so a long, soul-searching personal development journey began.
I wanted a fulfilling career, to be a great mum and to have the energy to enjoy everything I'd worked so hard to build.
I changed my mindset and unlocked emotions that had been numb for years. I reset my nervous system and gave it the nurturing it needed. Alongside the best mentors and coaches in the world, I tamed the behaviours that no longer served me, including my perfectionism, constant search for external validation, and obsession with logic and intellect. And it worked.
Despite thinking I was alone, I realised others felt like me. Those who looked like they had it all on the outside secretly knew there had to be more to life than this.
Others needed the toolkit I had discovered. They too, didn't have time on their side and didn't want to walk this journey alone.
Thus, the Balance Institute was born.
Today, we are blessed to have helped thousands of ambitious women break their burnout patterns and live a more present, successful and fulfilling life at home and at work.
Our Team
Jaclyn Urban Luna - Mindset Coach
Jaclyn has a beautiful complimentary skillset as a Body-Based Transformational Coach.
Her expertise is in helping clients get out of their heads and into their bodies, where they're able to access deep inner wisdom, let go of disempowering emotions and reclaim their power.
Jaclyn employs an integrated approach of creational and healing work, informed by psycho-spiritual and neuro-somatic principles, to support her clients to align their subconscious with their conscious body-mind, to create a life they love.
Jaclyn and her husband, Miguel, had their first child, Alejandro, in late 2022 and like all of us, is on her own journey to figure out how to live her best life with balance.
Jaclyn lives in Los Angeles, USA, and works with clients across all our programs.
Sabina Lawrence - Mindset Coach
Sabina is passionate about helping high-performing women in leadership create more meaningful impact by bringing more peace, purpose and passion into all facets of their lives - not just at work.
Throughout her corporate career and her own private coaching practice, Sabina has developed a unique approach to meet her client's needs, beautifully complimenting Jo's corporate background and Jaclyn's neuro-somatic expertise.
Guiding her clients through the mind and heart and inner and outer work, she blends practical experience and intuitive wisdom to help create transformation that is sustainable and gentle, yet potent.
Sabina has worn many professional hats over the past 30 years, including Kinesiologist, Hypnotherapist (RTT), EFT and QHHT practitioner, and most recently, a Global HR Manager and mix-media artist (after releasing the belief that she wasn't creative!)
Originally from England, she now calls the lush surrounds of Byron Bay home alongside her entrepreneurial teenage son and sweet-natured pooch.
Sabina works with clients across all our programs.
