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 ResetI also wanted to share my answers to some questions I have received about my new 90-day programme.
Yes, it's all online! I currently have clients in Germany, France, England, Italy, Belgium... So no worries about this :)
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.
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 😌) Click the button to learn everything you need to know about the Body & Mind Reset:

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen the little rant I had after one of my clients came back from their physiotherapist. Long story short, my client talked to their physio about their pain, and the physio was very dramatic and alarming about it. My client came out of this session panicked, wondering if they could even get better. Disclaimer: I would never question a medical professional's diagnosis, that's not what this is about. My issue is with the way this physio talked to my...
We all know that sitting for hours is bad for our health. Not only physical (increasing our risk of getting a heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, persistant pain, etc.) but mental. We're simply not made to sit so much. So why do we suck at moving more? My theory is this: We were told in our 20s that sitting is bad, but “an increased risk of heart disease” scares absolutely no one in their 20s. It’s too far away, too vague. We were also told we should start planning our...
I have welcome a few new members in Yoga with Clem which is always a super exciting time! New routines are getting built and we want to make sure they stick. I thought I would go over some key points to keep in mind when we start a new routine. This is important stuff for my new members but also for anyone who wants to start a healthier routine. Make it Simple Start small and simple. It's tempting to go all in right away, but real change takes time. Begin with one or two new habits to prove...
