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. Carole has appeared, in her capacity as a health, wellbeing, and fitness trainer and campaigner on This Morning and GMTV, The Andrew Neil Show, BBC, ITV, SKY, Channel 4 and 5 news programmes.
