In this episode Joanne interviews Kelley McLaughlin, a highly qualified bodywork and movement practitioner (certified in John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Therapy). The conversation delves into the concept of 'magic' in healing and fascia, highlighting the importance of intention, curiosity, and the intersection between science and mystery. They discuss their shared experiences in the scientific field, including a significant moment at Ohio State University, where interdisciplinary collaboration led to ground-breaking discoveries.
Kelley also explores her holistic approach to bodywork, emphasizing the integration of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects within a scientific framework. Everyone works in their own way and everyone they work with is unique - so it takes a combination of diligence, commitment and some other ingredients to really serve others…and ourselves.
Tune in for these insights and a discussion around how both scientific rigor and curiosity can lead to profound understanding and healing.
(And apologies for a couple of tiny moments of less-than-optimal audio due to tech issues, but hopefully you'll be so engrossed inthis fascinating conversation that they won't be noticeable!)

Discover the hidden language of your body, and how it makes SUCH a huge difference to your ability to enjoy moving and being in your body - if you learn to tune into it...
Fascia, as you'll discover in this week’s episode, literally signals to itself and to you 24/7 - ALL the time! If you know what you’re listening to, you can discover this hidden language of your body and learn to read its messages. It’s much more than a complex network of connective tissue. It holds secrets to optimal wellness on several subtle levels - and Joanne starts the conversation around this in this episode. It expands all we thought we knew about feeling things.
Subtle signalling (known as Haptic Perception) can sometimes reveal the root causes of muscle tension, chronic pain, and injury. If you can uncover the profound wisdom that your fascia is trying to share with you, you can develop a profound sense of self-awareness and move with greater ease, freedom, and joy. Tune in to discover how listening to your fascia can unlock the secrets to a more radiant, vibrant you - and realise how smart you already are!!
Can’t wait to hear your comments, enjoy!

If you’ve ever experienced muscle trembling during or after a workout or a class - you may have heard the idea that it’s “good for you”.
But, as Paul and Joanne discuss in this episode, it could actually be a sign that you’re overtraining, and it’s essential to recognize these warning signs to avoid injury. You can maintain optimal performance, if you understand when “more” is NOT NECESSARILY “better”.
In this episode, we’ll delve into some research in exercise science and explore the connection between muscle fatigue, overtraining syndrome, and the body’s way of signalling the need for rest and recovery. Check this out if you’re tired of feeling tired and want to ensure your personal fitness journey can grow to the next level, with intelligent listening - of you, by you. It’s worth listening to the end to discover the secrets and misconceptions behind balancing and building any exercise, movement and recovery - for your unique best.
