Well… fingers crossed 🤞 that my Starlink is finally up and running today!

This is hopefully my last time teaching from my studio while all this Wi-Fi drama has been going on. If it doesn’t work, I’ll be back in here again tonight! 😂

It’s certainly been quite an experience this week, whizzing from house to house to house to teach my classes. I have the most fantastic clients who have all been so generous in letting me use their homes — thank you so much! ❤️

But I have to say, I’m very ready to get back to my studio at home. I’m missing teaching from my own space… and I’m DEFINITELY missing my Wi-Fi! 📡

So, fingers crossed for today!

Take care everyone, and I’ll see you soon.

Well… I’ve had a bit of a rant with myself today because honestly, what a pratt I am!

If I’d actually gone and looked properly at the Starlink installation that was sent to me, I would have realised that it wasn’t suitable for what I’ve already got here.

So… I now need the proper comms people to come out, sort everything, install the right leads and get the whole thing up and running properly.

Never mind — it’s called life!

The only problem is that it means I can’t teach from home tonight, and my Studio is already being used, so I’ve got to find somewhere else to teach from this evening.

BUT… tomorrow is absolutely fine. I can be in the Studio for both of my classes, so normal service will resume!

And do you know what? If I’d only realised all this last night, I could have got my comms people out as quickly as possible.

Never mind. You live and learn!

Rant over.

Take care everyone, and I’ll see you in class! ❤️

Sometimes, you just need to slow things down and give your body a little confidence. ❤️

I’m back in my studio in Tavistock, and when I’m teaching from the studio, anyone who would rather come along in person is always very welcome to join me.

Today I worked with one of my clients who felt she’d hurt her leg coming downstairs. She felt it around the outside of her hip, so rather than pushing it, we started gently with some seated exercises.

Nothing complicated — no belt around the thigh, just a block between the knees and some simple, controlled movements. Then we added a couple of standing exercises.

By the end, she told me she felt so much better.

Sometimes it isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things gently, allowing everything to settle and, most importantly, rebuilding your confidence in your body.

That confidence can make such a difference.

If you’re in Tavistock and fancy joining me in the studio, you’re very welcome. And of course, you can still join me online too!

Classes on Tour!

Well… because I currently have NO Wi-Fi at home, my classes are going on tour!

For the moment, my evening classes are going to be around Tavistock — I may even be taking myself into clients’ houses for classes, because I don’t particularly want to be going to my studio on my own at night.

There will still be morning classes in my studio, and if you’re around Tavistock and fancy joining me for a class, just let me know! I don’t want 300 of you turning up at once though! So please message me if you’d like to come along.

I’ve actually got a 2pm class this afternoon, and do you know what? I’m just loving it!

Life is certainly busy at the moment, and sometimes you think, “Oh my goodness, what is happening?” when you can’t run your business quite the way you normally do.

But these things happen, and we just adapt, don’t we?

My new Starlink is on its way, so hopefully it won’t be too long before I’m back up and running properly.

In the meantime… classes on tour it is! ❤️

Take care everyone, and I’ll see you somewhere around Tavistock!

Oh my goodness… what a day! 😂

First of all, I had no electricity — and then discovered it was actually my Starlink that had tripped everything! 🤦‍♀️ Which meant… NO Wi-Fi!

So, what do you do when you’ve got clients waiting and classes to teach? You just get on with it! I had to leave my studio and somehow carry on teaching and working with clients this morning, then come back and try to sort out my Starlink.

The good news? They’re sending me a brand-new dish AND router because apparently mine are now obsolete — and they’re doing it free of charge! 🙌

The bad news? I won’t get them until somewhere between the 5th and 9th of September. 😩

So, for the next couple of weeks, I’m going to be whizzing from house to house, fitting classes and clients in wherever I can while my studio is out of action. It’s frustrating, but hey… we’ll make it work!

And amongst all of that, I’ve still been working with clients — including a couple from Ireland today.

One had a really achy back and, fingers crossed, I think we may have finally got to the bottom of it today.

The other has been incredibly frightened by her pain, particularly around her neck, head and legs. But today she told me she felt 85% better in her neck and head! 🙌

Now THAT is really, really good news. ❤️

So yes… lots going on, lots to sort out and probably lots of driving over the next couple of weeks!

But you know me… I love life, I love what I do, and we just keep going! ❤️

Here we go! 😂💪

What keeps you going? ❤️

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. What actually keeps us going? What gives us enjoyment, purpose and fulfilment?

I know I’m incredibly lucky with my health, and I’m also very lucky to have a fabulous man behind me. I honestly can’t believe I’ve been married for 46 years! And the wonderful thing is, I still love every moment of it.

Time is so important to us. Time together, time to relax, time to completely switch off, and time to expend lots of energy doing the things we enjoy. It doesn’t really matter what you do — it’s about finding what makes you happy.

For me, a huge part of that is helping people.

Helping my clients, watching them change, seeing their confidence grow and knowing that I’ve helped them in some way gives me an enormous amount of enjoyment and fulfilment.

I absolutely love what I do, and I honestly think that’s where I’ll always be.

So, what keeps you going? ❤️

Thanks for listening this morning! xx

Our bodies can change — and sometimes they really let us know about it!

I’ve recently given up sugar and meat. I don’t drink alcohol anyway, but changing what you put into your body can have quite an effect, and I’m definitely noticing changes.

I’m only just over a month into it and, at the moment, I’m feeling very, very strange! I’ve had more sweating than I expected and even a few flashing-light headaches. They have settled when I’ve taken Nurofen, but it has really made me think about how much our bodies have to adjust when we make changes.

I was hoping giving up sugar might eventually help reduce my sweats — and perhaps it will in the longer term — but my body clearly needs time to adapt.

And actually, it’s very similar to exercise.

When you start exercising, or start moving your body differently, you may feel a few aches and pains. You’re strengthening muscles, asking muscles to work that perhaps haven’t been working properly, and creating change throughout the body.

Therapy should not cause pain, but it can create change. And change can sometimes feel strange!

The important thing is understanding the difference between normal adaptation and red-flag pain or symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored.

Our bodies are incredibly clever. Give them time, listen to them, and allow them to adapt.

I’d love to know — have you ever made a big change to your diet, exercise or lifestyle and really noticed your body reacting to it?

And don’t forget to share this with your friends and family. ❤️

Pain is something we all deal with differently.

Last night I had two clients in class, and they couldn’t have been more different.

One spends a lot of her week sitting at a desk, but had been on holiday doing MUCH more walking than she normally does. Her back and the backs of her legs were really hurting because her body was simply being asked to do more than it was used to.

We worked on her lower back, glutes and posture during the class — and by the end, her pain had reduced to almost nothing. ❤️

My other client hasn’t done much exercise for around 30 years. She is now getting those achy, muscular feelings that can happen when muscles are being asked to work again after a very long time.

But here’s the thing…

She wants to Google everything.

“What could this be?”
“What if it’s this?”
“What if it’s that?”

And that can become really frightening.

Sometimes you have to trust the process. Your body is giving you feedback, and we need to learn to listen to it rather than immediately assume the worst.

Of course, there are times when pain needs proper medical attention — but not every ache or pain means something is wrong.

Give your body time to adapt. Listen to the feedback. Keep moving appropriately and let the process work.

That’s a huge part of what I teach through Heal Your Pain.

📚 My two books are now available!

I’m so pleased to be able to share both of my books with you.

📖 Heal Your Pain — my first book, sharing my approach and experience of helping people understand their pain.

📘 Train the Trainers — my training manual, ideal if you’re already a therapist or thinking about becoming one. It gives you a real insight into what I do and how I work.

Both books are available to buy through my website: www.carolinejclark.com

You’ll find Train the Trainers under Train the Trainers, and my other book under Books.

If you have any questions about either book, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m always happy to help! ❤️ www.carolinejclarke.com

Six years ago, I wrote my first book, Heal Your Pain 📖

I honestly never imagined then that I would go on to write a second book — but I have!

My second book is my Training Manual, written for therapists, or anyone wanting to become a therapist, who wants to understand more about what I do and how I work.

Both books are completely self-published, which has been a huge amount of hard work, but I’m incredibly proud of them.

They’re both beautifully produced with spiral bindings, so they’re really good-quality books that are practical to use and easy to keep open while you’re working.

And the best bit? Both have been very successful! ❤️

If you’d like to have a look at either book, they’re both available on my website:

Six years on, I’m still learning, still teaching and still sharing everything I can to help people Heal Your Pain. 💫
