# Mend and Extend
Mend and Extend is a specialist yoga and psychotherapy studio in Cockermouth, nestled on the edge of the Lake District. Founded by Jo Cook, a Post-Graduate qualified psychotherapist and experienced yoga teacher, the studio uniquely integrates somatic movement with clinical therapeutic practice to address both body and mind.
The business serves individuals seeking holistic wellness solutions, from those managing stress and anxiety to those recovering from trauma. Rather than offering standard yoga classes, Mend and Extend provides evidence-based therapeutic movement that actively regulates the nervous system and supports emotional wellbeing.
What sets this studio apart is its dual expertise. Jo's clinical training in EMDR and psychotherapy combines with nearly two decades of yoga teaching experience, creating an integrated approach that recognises how the body stores stress. The studio itself enhances this offering with bespoke infra-red heating technology designed to soothe tissues deeply, plus high-quality equipment enabling convenient drop-in sessions.
The service range spans from community-focused groups like the Morning Movement Club and Yoga for Every Body classes, to intensive therapeutic offerings including private psychotherapy and specialist trauma recovery programmes. An Anxiety Toolkit course equips clients with practical emotional health skills, whilst restorative classes and retreats provide deeper healing. This flexibility allows clients to choose what suits their current needs, whether seeking supportive community or private therapeutic work.
