Listening through my Hands by Carly Chamberlain

Listening through my Hands by Carly Chamberlain

Part memoir, part practical guide, 'Listening through my Hands' gives an insight into wellness coach, Carly Chamberlain's personal and professional life as a body therapist, educator and yogini.

Carly Chamberlain has 15 years' experience in holistic health, integrated therapy, and training. She is founder of the I AM WELLness community, online self-care course, and women's wellness clinic. Carly consults and educates for learning and development companies, wellness brands, and studies human psychology at the University of Oxford. She is a mother of two and hopes to inspire others to find their voice in life. From the women seeking support, purpose and growth to the therapists who spend hours in the treatment room, giving and giving and feeling like they get nothing in return. To achieve this, Carly has shared parts of her personal story, some real truths about life as a working mother, her anxiety and PTSD, her thyroid condition after pregnancy, her work in the spa and wellness industry where she has witnessed profound transformation in hundreds of people and herself. Carly's journey to wellness has been bumpy and disheartening. Especially when she realised that it was only her that could really choose to take responsibility of her life and the life she aspired to. One that embodies genuine fulfilment as opposed to ticking off the to-do list of achievements which supposedly defines success and happiness. "For a long time, anxiety ruled my life. Add in a debilitating knee injury, a major road traffic accident, a thyroid condition, and one might say my nervous system was shot to pieces! In this period of my life, I didn't know how to separate my best intentions from the thoughts and feelings that were influencing me. I realised that my anxiety had taken over and this was the cause of my body being in pain, my skin being unbalanced and my mood highly agitated. I was suffering with chronic stress. So, I went to my default settings - known as fight, flight, freeze. I switched off from being present! I would feel like everything was OK one week then find myself working 14-hour days in the wellness industry that aims to promote work-life balance. It made no sense to me. Throw in becoming a new wife and a new mum and enough was enough. I felt anxious, confused and completely sick and tired." Carly's private and professional world of self-development was ultimately triggered by a painful past full of self-doubt. When she discovered that we simply are what we do consistently it occurred that health and happiness are not something you magically get and keep forever, rather the gateway to real transformation is in simple daily rituals. This book is a journey to self-care, self-worth and self-love where the reader gets to discover their inner therapist using the elements as their navigation system!
