Biography - Carole Caplin

    With an undimmed passion for her work, Carole brings more than 25 years of experience in treatment programmes including physical rehabilitation, nutritional re-education, and osteopathy

    Carole’s latest venture, Lifesmart at the Albany, is the culmination of a lifetime’s commitment to a highly personalised and unique approach to healthcare.

    Carole set up Lifesmart, a professional consultancy and hands-on health fitness and rehabilitative practice, 15 years ago and today, with over 25 years experience teaching and working with clients, extensive training and continued professional development, her original passion for her work remains undimmed.

    Twenty-five years ago, the personal fitness training industry didn’t exist as it does today, and Carole was unique in pioneering her multi-dimensional approach. Driven by her early experience of not being able to find effective solutions to a myriad of health problems, scoliosis and weight issues, Carole researched and devised her own treatment programme which included physical rehabilitation, nutritional re-education, and osteopathy.

    This led to Carole designing an integrated health system available for others, Holistix, which she taught in public classes at London’s Dance Works, and then at Pineapple Studios, The Place and Wayne Sleep’s Studio. She built up an extensive client base including journalists, media personalities and corporate clients, and published her Holistix book and video – one of the first of its kind – which sold all over the world.

    At Lifesmart at the Albany, the tailoring of a rigorous and individually designed schedule for each client includes a full health spectrum and nutritional consultation, followed by an in-depth biomechanical assessment. This information is then used to determine each person’s programme, ensuring they safely maximise the benefits of their training and lifestyle changes.

    This individualised approach has always been at the heart of her work and is Carole’s USP. “I don’t subscribe to a one-size fits all approach,” she says. “Every body is individual and if you fail to recognise this, you can’t make the sort of difference that matters. This is the reason Lifesmart gets results.”

    Not only is this approach reflected in her day-to-day practice with clients, but also through Lifesmart’s cookery, nutrition, fitness, health and lifestyle workshops, her public speaking and her writing.

    She wrote a combination of weekly health, fitness, problem solving and lifestyle columns for the Mail on Sunday for six years, and published her second definitive book, Lifesmart in 2005.

    She now writes on all topics of physical and emotional health for a cross section of national magazines and newspapers – her continuing campaigning with Consumers for Health Choice, and her Channel 4 TV series The Carole Caplin Treatment, plus her contribution to Teachers TV, both broadcast in 2006.

    Carole also teaches regularly at an inner-London secondary school, and is patron of two children’s charities Kidscan, which champions better cancer treatments for children, and the Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy, which pioneers the training of osteopaths in paediatrics and the provision of treatment for all children regardless of their family’s ability to pay; she also supports Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, a unique Arab-Israeli village in Israel.
