Read this if you're in pain


A big mistake I see people make is thinking that there’s one way to get rid of pain.

Let’s say someone has back pain.

They think that if they maintain good posture at their desk, they won’t have pain anymore. Or that they just need a chiropractor to put everything back into place.

So they do that, and it works for a bit, but... the relief is always temporary. And why would it not be?

You get treatment, and then you go back to sitting for 8 hours, stressed out of your mind because you have a household to take care of while juggling with a demanding job. Your nervous system feels like it’s battling a bear 24/7.

If you're in pain because you fell two days ago and you can already feel that it’s getting better, then ok, you’ve probably just teared a muscle and it’s healing.

But if you’ve had this pain for weeks, months, years… That’s chronic pain, and it’s likely to be a symptom of something larger, something bodywide.

I talked here about the fundamental fact that we don’t have pain receptors in the body. We have threat receptors. Pain is what the brain creates to tell you you are under threat.

Your brain is trying to tell you it needs something. And now your job is to figure out what it can be.

I've shared some ideas of what it could be, and what to do about it, in this episode of the podcast. A must-listen if you're in any kind of pain!


FAQ - Body & Mind Reset

I also wanted to share my answers to some questions I have received about my new 90-day programme.

  • Can I do it if I don't live in Germany?

Yes, it's all online! I currently have clients in Germany, France, England, Italy, Belgium... So no worries about this :)

  • Why is it 90 days?

Because to have a meaningful impact of your body and nervous system, it takes time and consistency. 90 days allow us to find exactly what works for you and to make sure you have the support to make it part of your daily routine.

I don't drop you after the 90 days, though. You can stay for as long as you want, with the same or less level of support.

  • When does it start? Is there a specific date?

I'm taking people in until the 29th of July, but if you sign up now, we can start right away! (and you get an early bird discount 😌)

Don't get me wrong, I love saunas and massages. But they are a specific type of self-care, and for most of us, a luxury. I want to share with you ideas of self-care routines that go beyond that, and that will inspire you to create your own unique routine! Stay to the end of the email for THE question that is the foundation of everything else in terms of self-care. 🤔 What even is self-care? For me, a self-care routine is anything that helps me move from overstimulation (high stress, anxiety)...

I received this question this week from one of my wonderful clients: "It's so hard to build a new routine! Does it have to be daily to be effective?" And you know what? I feel you. It is hard to build a routine, because we have to go against habits that have been ingrained in us for years, maybe even decades. A routine doesn't have to be a daily routine to be effective, BUT paradoxically, it's easier to maintain something you do every day. Because the goal is for the routine to become...

I was asked this important question last week by one of my wonderful clients. Picture this. You're barely managing a self-care routine as it is, and suddenly... 💀 Your son starts kindergarten💀 You have to travel for work💀 You have to prepare for an impending move💀 3 of your coworkers are going on holiday and 2 others call in sick during crunch time Any of these familiar? This is when I like to call in the Busy Mode Method. (I heard about from a mentor of mine called Ella, the Fitness Psych.)...
