My only wish is I’d learned meditation long before I began my tennis career. It would have helped me be calmer and clearer in tough matches. But while I’d thought about meditating, I honestly never thought I could do it. But Joh explained it’s not this crazy “zen thing” that you have to be perfect at. Meditation has given me the calmness and clarity I’d always wanted and my reactions are more thoughtful and less reactive."

— WILL RAHN - Journalist
“Before learning to meditate with Joh, I was a little skeptical that it would work. But in the first 30 minutes of the first session I was given the tool to access an incomparable openness and clarity”
EDWARD GOH - Engineer
The appeal was its simplicity. It’s not hard, there are no guidelines about how to breathe or how to think during the meditation. It was this simplicity that was most appealing to me with such a busy, stressful life. The daily meditation practice has made me feel focused and productive while calm and reflective.
— PETER RITCHIE - CEO
After years of trying various meditation techniques, something finally clicked after my meditation course with Joh. She has given me an invaluable skill for life which has made me noticeably more resilient and calm in the hectic bustle of New York.
— SIMONE LEE - Associate Director
“I’m still meditating twice a day and it’s really helping. I can’t believe in two months it will be a year since I learned! I love the calm brain feeling and it’s made quarantine during the pandemic so much easier to deal with.”
— NOEL MACDUFFIE - Theatre Director
"I don’t think I’ve undertaken anything more valuable for heart and soul and mind. Joh is a great teacher and superb woman."
— SOPHIE TOWNSEND - Broadcaster, Writer
“If you’re living a busy, high power life, juggling a lot of balls in the air, or just battling stress … I’d recommend this meditation taught by Joh Jarvis. I’ve known her for decades through several incarnations.
In each, as a broadcaster, journalist, writer, photographer, producer, manager or artist, part of Joh’s core mission always has been to help heal the world. Now one person at a time, she’s helping individuals find peace, through teaching this method of Vedic Meditation.”
—VALERIE GELLER - International Trainer & Media Consultant
“I’ve been dabbling with different kinds of meditation for years now, and nothing has stuck. But during my first meeting with Joh something clicked. She’s a brilliant teacher and this is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself.”
— JESSICA BINETH - Podcaster, Business Owner
“Initially I didn’t have much faith that this new technique could improve on the clarity of the mindfulness meditation that I’d been doing for years.
But I was surprised to find that Vedic Meditation delivered a huge range of benefits, the most significant of which was the complete ‘cure’ of my asthma that I had lived with since I was six weeks old.
As long as I continue to meditate twice a day, I am symptom-free. The practice has also helped me to think far more clearly which has made my life more manageable. Joh is a very clear, down-to-earth teacher who has been particularly helpful in encouraging me to keep it simple.
I also appreciate that over the years she’s remained available as my teacher for questions and check-ins whenever new questions arise.”
— JANE CASTLE - Film maker
“I first met Joh working at the ABC in Sydney. Now, in Manhattan, we meet again. I’ve spent the past four days coming to her meditation studio in Midtown. Amongst the chaos of NYC, she’s taught me to meditate.
I feel calmer and happier than I have in years.
If you are in New York I can’t recommend her highly enough. I’m so excited by what’s to come. Thank you Joh!”
— SARAH MCVEIGH - Journalist
“Joh’s conversational and simply fascinating teaching style accommodates many individual reasons for attending.
I came for mental wellbeing in a time of bereavement.
Our minds can be noisy with plans for the future and worries about how they’ll unfold; sometimes there are moments of trauma mixed with mundane nuisances or rumination about the past.
Joh Jarvis provides a friendly, gentle and informed way to find a daily reprieve.”
— TOMMY MURPHY - Playwright
“I often feel like I cannot make decisions, now after learning to meditate I feel I have a clearer outlook on life. Also problem solving seems much more relaxed, instead of me instantly stressing.”
— LESLIE O'KELLEY MAIDEN - Business Owner
"My sister had been telling me I should learn Vedic Meditation but I didn’t think it would fit into my hectic NYC lifestyle.
But I was extremely worn down by some key relationships and I felt depleted and out of touch with myself and thought I would give it a try. Learning was simple and pleasurable and Joh is a relatable, straightforward, inspirational teacher.
Since I learned meditation, I have a stronger sense of confidence and peace, I look forward to meditating twice a day as a time of solitude. I feel more able to tackle the challenges ahead of me, as well as able to enjoy the here and now. I also feel an incredible sense of support from my meditation practice and from Joh personally.
I’m pretty surprised and proud of myself for picking up this habit and sticking with it. Habits are not easy to make but this is so effortless and rewarding."
