This is the start of something truly amazing & I cannot wait for you to join me. c x

said desperately & fearfully to my mum at my sickest.

CUE: body ‘zaps’, dizziness, a weird spinning feeling, ‘dropping’ through the bed when trying to fall asleep, heat sensitivity, ringing ears, brain fog, poor eye sight, sensory sensitivity, heart palpitations, not being able to get words out, a sensation of pure panic in my body, ‘ants’ crawling over my skin, pins & needles in my arms & legs, & throw in an impending feeling of fear & terror… What a farking delight!! Let me tell you - I have NO idea how I was functioning while working a fulltime corporate job & ‘looking’ like everything was a-ok.

To be honest only my mum & sister really knew how bad I was. I was terrified I was sick, really sick, as I was doing so much work trying to shift this anxiety & just couldn’t change how my body was feeling. My GP at the time just kept saying ‘we’re still learning about the after effects of c***d’ & apart from running bloods & offering medication & a referral to a psychologist… that was about it. So where to next??? Well to be honest… Patience AND being my own client.

The sweet spot started for me when I really stopped & took control of what I needed to do to start coming back to SAFETY in my body. I formed a ‘magic formula’ of stillness & safety that my body started to marinade in & I lingered & lingered & lingered in that state…. Slowly building my tolerance.

Witnessing what worked & how my body reacted, I could see what ‘triggers’ interrupted my flow (insert caffeine, unstable blood sugar, the wrong people in my world, my capacity to say ‘no’) & I had to go slowly slowly.

My system & my body needed to TRUST we were safe. And that took TIME. But now I spend 95% of my time regulate & feeling amazing!! Does my body still try to get my attention to keep me ‘safe’ when she thinks I’m not (insert some small symptoms - increased HR??) well yes, because life right? But does my system now regulate within a small window … YES.

We’re never free from a body giving us signals because they’re meant to alert us & symptoms are clues something is up… but when we listen … life feels different & I promise if you’re ‘in it’ right now… it can get better!! c x

Said to my mum as I was sitting in a chair getting reflexology of all things! My nervous system was so disregulated after being sick, that something I used to LOVE & made me so totally relaxed was now making me feel panicked & wanting to escape! Picture a nice low lite space, beautiful relaxing music, mum who I easily co regulate with & some awesome reflexology… heaven right? Ahhhhh NOPE.. anything BUT for my nervous system at that time.

You see as soon as I had to sit still & the lights went dim, my nervous system freaked out. Dizzy, an ‘off feeling’ & heart palpitations were my main symptoms. My mum looked over & smiled asking ‘are you relaxed’ 🤪 I whispered ‘I can’t get my heart rate down I think I’ll have to leave’. She kind of gave me a weird look, as she knew to well how this used to help me, & then I said I’ll leave it 5mins. I sat there for the next 30mins self talking that I was in fact ok, while feeling dread, doing ALL the things to calm myself as I didn’t want to get in the habit of ‘leaving’ a space every time I felt ‘off’ but honestly it was torture. It had become my new ‘normal’ every moment of every day. So what did I do to help regulate in that space???

• EFT (which is just as powerful imaging the spots you’re tapping on) reminding my body I was SAFE
• used my fidget ring up & down my fingers
• sipped on my cold water (being hot made my symptoms worse)
• tapped on my thighs which was a weird comforting way I used to be connected to my body
• oriented: I looked around the room slowly
• ear acupressure

And guess what… I can now go SUCCESSFULLY!! Calm, relaxed & with NO signs of a disregulated nervous system. Now I know for some you may think ‘who cares love’ 🤪🤪🤪 but you know what… throw someone into the depths of despair with full blown chronic anxiety & then regulate to be back doing everyday things with ease & let me tell you… THAT’S TO BE CELEBRATED!!!

So for any of you struggling right now with anxiety, strange body symptoms that don’t make sense or feeling frightened that you won’t feel YOU again, hang in there… you got this! c x

NEVER give up. Anxiety can be a beast. Tune in. Learn what your system needs. Put tools into practice to come into regulation. Be patient. Do PARTS work. Learn Somatic tools. Find your tribe to co - regulate with. Trust your body knows how to heal. Work with practitioners you trust. I promise you’ve got this! How do I know this? I lived it day in day out for about 12mths 😞& am out the other side!

12 + mths of debilitating anxiety, my nervous system totally fried in constant flight/fright… & what felt like THE slowest journey back to health I’ve experienced. One step forward then three steps back. Slowly slowly slowly, some days feeling frustrated & tearful doing all the things yet to no avail. In the throw of it was just fear, constant relentless fear simmering under the surface every single moment of the day. When I say to my clients I’ve been in the trenches, I’ve BEEN IN THE TRENCHES.

& that’s why I KNOW, there is an alternative.

❤️HR 145+ bpm just getting dressed in the morning >> BACK EXERCISING ✔️

😎 sensitivity to Fluoro lights, noise & movement >> able to go to shopping centres, cinemas, conecerts ✔️

🚙 panic attacks driving on the M1 to work >> driving 3 hrs with no issues ✔️

🤢 tummy/digestive issues due to high anxiety >> eating all foods again with a settled gut ✔️

😵‍💫 vestibular issues, dizzy, feeling of dropping through floor/bed etc, fear of being around people >> teaching all day to over 60 students teaching kinesiology regulated, happy, in JOY ✔️✔️✔️✔️

This is just a snippet… it was like living in a vortex. But hand on my heart I KNOW you can get well & regulated. Even when it feels like you’re not getting anywhere. 🤍

This is why I’m so passionate about working with my clients & teaching my beautiful students - we need an army of nervous system specialists out there doing the work to show the alternative & the reason why my ✨THE METHOD✨ session is my favourite tool to work with. A culmination of all my study & more… & the reason I continue to study, to be at the cutting edge for my clients, my students, my family & more so FOR ME! c x

Oh yes you are. Your body is so highly intelligent & has all you need to feel more energetic, calm, safe, pain free (alllllll the things). It’s just that sometimes we are in our own way, & need a helping hand. WANT TO KNOW HOW TO MOVE THROUGH THIS?? ⬇️⬇️

🤍How to tune into emotions

🙏🏻self test WHAT emotion it is

🧘‍♀️ then move through them with beautiful somatic tools to diffuse those stored emotions

🕊️then clear any limiting beliefs we may have keeping us stuck.

I got you!! 🎉🦋🙌🏻✨

One of my favourite things when working with clients is to find the stored emotion causes a physical pain, discomfort or limiting belief & diffuse it from the body. Track it to the exact age it was felt, was it towards self, others or a situation. Is it being held in a meridian, which is associated with an organ, is that meridian over energised or under energised. Is it attached to a past life, an issue or pattern you’ve repeated on your timeline. Is this causes a chakra to be blocked or your aura not fully sealed, where are you leaking your energy. Sooooo much can be looked out around ONE emotion in your body. I always tell my students it is like the body & subconscious gives us tiny threads that weave a tapestry of information. One of my greatest privileges is being able to view it. It’s truly MAGIC ✨ in our hands. c x

Kinesthetics: it’s in the touch. ✨

Hands on corrections with safe touch to soothe the nervous system…always a favourite for my students to learn & practice. 🕊️

✨magic in our hands ••• as many talk about closing out 2023 & stepping into 2024 with big goals about ‘getting healthy’ & all the rest….I encourage you to be gentle & spend time thinking about how you’d like to FEEL.

& then start to ADD!!!!!! Add more goodness then ‘removing’. Add more tools to your arsenal of wellness: kinesiology & homeopathy, more balance, more sunshine, more movement you love “, more yummy nourishing food, more good quality water, more rest, more laughter, more creativity, more connection, more space, more hugs, MORE GOODNESS!!! That is the 🔑.

When we work with our clients via kinesiology, first & foremost we are looking at all the ways we can assist bringing you back to BALANCE ie. How is your mind, body & spirit. Take a moment during today to actually do a check in around these 3 areas. Sometimes we don’t realise how far out of alignment we are. That’s where you start! & you don’t need to wait to start tomorrow - why not start now? ✨ c x

p a i n •••

how are you feeling today? any sore spots or aches & pains going on that you just can’t seem to shift? did you know we actually store emotions which we suppress & they then get trapped in the body causing pain, discomfort, anxiety & lots of physical symptoms! How insane is our body…. Incredible right??

one thing I LOVE about kinesiology is how we can tap into your subconscious & remove all the unwanted emotions that are causing your body concerns. plus we can infuse so many good emotions & have you vibing high & reducing the physical symptoms you no longer need to carry!

the metaphysical meaning for 3 of the most common symptoms my clients present with might just blow your mind… have a little read & see if anything resonates:

• neck pain — feeling stuck, inflexible, ‘weight of the world on my shoulders’, worry, anger, pressured, experiencing negative self image, inability to communicate, difficulty making commitments

• lower back — a storehouse for emotions: anxiety, stress, worry, sadness, discouragement, holding on to unresolved anger, focusing on limitations, worrying about financials, lack of emotional support & sense of security.

• tummy issues — difficulty digesting life, feeling stuck, fear, limitation, worry, guilt, despair. Feeling inferior or second best, rejected.

We literally carry everything we feel. So it’s important to take time to really clear what no longer serves us! c x

“Kinesiology - what’s that??” ….
So many people still have no idea what this magical modality is all about! ✨🤍

Well firstly it’s INCREDIBLE as we communicate with your body via muscle testing - this is how YOUR body lets us know where there is imbalance: spiritually, energetically, emotionally, chemically, structurally… we can find out so so much! It’s based around ancient Chinese principles - we work a lot on meridians & moving energy, when one point is low another will be high & it’s in the balance of the body in homeostasis that true health can be felt.

Stored emotions & traumas - We can diffuse & infuse emotions which is just amazing, we can track miasms (what have you bought with you energetically generation after generation), what limiting beliefs are holding you back, how is the health of your aura, do you have energetic ‘leaks’… what about your supplements, food, etc, does your body need to be balanced around the absorption of these or to utilise them better and sooooooo much more! How are you spiritually, do you need a chakra balance, some reframing of your thought patterns with some NLP!?

Really / it’s like having a magic wand that directly communicates with YOU! As kinesiologists we are essentially the ‘detective’ that goes to work with you, we help facilitate the change your body is ready for, we hold the space for you to feel safe to drop into regulation, and we allow your subconscious to be heard. YOU do the talking, we just listen (via the muscle test) & balance you as you need.

It really is incredible (it’s my goal to have everyone book their kinesiologist as their first thought & know the power of this beautiful modality)! ✨🤍 c x

Said to my mum as I was sitting in a chair getting reflexology of all things! My nervous system was so fried & disregulated after being sick, that something I used to LOVE & that made me so totally relaxed was now making me feel panic & like I wanted to get up & escape! Picture a nice low lite space, beautiful relaxing music, mum who I easily co regulate with who’s super relaxed & chilled beside me, & some awesome reflexology… heaven right? Ahhhhh NOPE.. no way not for this nervous system, it was anything but.

You see as soon as I had to sit still & the lights went dim, my nervous system freaked out. Dizzy, an ‘off feeling’ & heart palpitations were my main symptoms & as my mum looked over & smiled asking ‘are you relaxed’ 🤪 I whispered ‘I can’t get my heart rate down I think I’ll have to leave’. She kind of gave me a weird look, as she knew to well how this used to help me, & then I said I’ll leave it 5mins. I sat there for the next 30mins self talking that I was in fact ok, doing ALL the things to calm myself, as I also didn’t want to get in the habit of ‘leaving’ a space every time I felt ‘off’. What did I do to regulate in that space??? Some of the things:

• tapping (which is just as powerful imaging the spots you’re tapping on) reminding my body I was SAFE

• I had my fidget ring which I used up & down my fingers

• sipped on my cold water

• tapped on my thighs which was a weird comforting way I used to show my body I was safe & connected

And guess what… I went yesterday for the first time since then… another SUCCESSFUL experience. One my own after a day of teaching, took myself off to enjoy what I have always loved AND I sat there. Calm, relaxed & with NO signs of a disregulated nervous system. Now I know for some they may think ‘who cares love’ 🤪🤪🤪 but you know what… throw someone into the depths of despair with full blown chronic anxiety & then regulate to be back doing everyday things with ease and let me tell you… THAT’S TO BE CELEBRATED!!!

So for any of you struggling right now with anxiety, body symptoms that don’t make sense or feeling frightened that you won’t feel YOU again, hang in there… you got this! c x

Asked in desperation at my lowest of lows. The answer was pretty bleak if I’m honest. My bloods were fine, it was medication & off to a psychologist as the only option to start functioning again after months of horrible anxiety & panic attacks as I’ve shared before.

So that’s when I knew I just had to be my own patient. I also made some big life changes & put EVERY single thing I had studied into practice. I knew I had to do the work as no one was going to do it for me. So diligently every single day I crafted a routine of nervous system work, somatic practices & kinesiology and fused it all together. Patience, persistence & determination was key, sometimes 2 steps forward, 3 steps back, tears, fears & everything else you could imagine.

Day by day, things started to change. My nervous system started to regulate. Lights & sounds at the supermarket & shopping centres weren’t triggering (most days I couldn’t walk through these environments as I would feel like I was on a rocking boat), my intense heart rate started to come down (changing my clothes would see it spike to 135BPM & I ended up bruising my wrist from always checking it & being so hyper focused lol), the ‘dropping through bed’ feeling each night wasn’t there, turning my head & moving my eyes didn’t cause dizziness..let me tell you, the body symptoms were wild & scary!!

I lost count of the number of times someone would say ‘just get angry with it’ or ‘if you fall over you fall over I’ll pick you up’. It is as intense. BUT I did the work. I stayed the course. Even when some days I would cry to my mum telling her I just want to feel better & have the old Corinna back.

Little by little, I changed. My body become relaxed, my nervous system regulated, my window of tolerance expanded. I was back to the woman I was pre covid. And FARK it feels good. Like really good. Honestly I was at the end of my tether. And I had to dig in. It can be done I promise. So if you’re feeling like there is no ‘out’ of these body symptoms & anxious feelings… please know you can make a difference to your body. Learn the tools, and put them into practice. Slowly slowly. you got this! c x

Said sternly by the GP on the 4th visit back to her after trying to find answers to why I was still struggling after covid!

INSERT: Heart palpitations (just getting dressed would see my HR at 135bpm), dizzy, vision issues, sensitive to lights & sounds, lethargic, extreme anxiety & panics attack which I’d never suffered before.

It actually stopped me in my tracks as she snarled at me. I’m not anti medication, but she knew the health related anxiety I had would see it extremely unlikely I would ever go fill that script. We’d discussed this many times before. Credit to her she had run ‘the tests’ & nothing was out of order. So that was it. Her answer to my questions, tears, frustrations & hopelessness… ‘it’s medication & a psychologist THATS IT!’

I left vowing never to go back. And I vowed I’d always listen to my own body to heal. I decided there & then to do ALL the things & use myself as my own ‘Guinea Pig’. I couldn’t take myself for any healing work as I was too disregulated to even keep myself under control to get Accupuncture, a massage etc.

QUE: Kinesiology ✔️ EFT✔️Meditation ✔️ good water ✔️ somatic tools ✔️ REST ✔️ time with loved ones✔️more joy✔️grounding ✔️ weighted blanket ✔️ podcasts ✔️ audio books ✔️mapping my nervous system ✔️ boundaries

And slowly slowly slowly… I came back into regulation. I was able to SHOW my body I was safe & it didn’t need to be on high alert all the time. Were there set backs… YES. Does my body still react & give me messages when I’m at my capacity.. YES. Do I still manage some anxiety… YES (life right?). But let me tell you… I know that this formula above WORKS.

No blood test or pill could tell me what was wrong or what I needed to feel better. I learnt to LISTEN TO MY BODY. & be gentle with it. Nurture, nourish & tune in & lean in. Really tune in. And really lean all the way in.

And that’s why I’m so passionate about helping others. I know what it feels like to be told ‘your bloods are fine, there’s nothing wrong with your heart rate halter test, you just need some anti anxiety meds’ and know wholeheartedly your body & mind are not ok. So reach out if you need. I got you. c x

I was talking to a beautiful student yesterday about how full my cup is from teaching & she asked what else I’ve been doing outside of the classroom to fill other parts of my cup. And it got me thinking. Not a lot to be really honest. Teaching has sparked so much inside of me, BUT my week revolves around lots of it now 🎉🤍🙏🏻 (which I LOVE).

So after a full day in the classroom yesterday I drove home thinking about what puts me in absolute flow state…. So I booked my pottery wheel to get back into making shapes & getting my hands dirty & I’ll head back to my favourite deep peach meditation/Kirtan class.

So often I see clients racing out to do it ALL and putting extra pressure on themselves, which is so not necessary. One or two things JUST FOR YOU, to marinade in the ‘glimmers’ is perfect for the nervous system.

What are you planning in the next few weeks that’s just for you to spark JOY? c x

ain’t that the truth. checking in to see how you’re doing?

If it’s a rough day… just let it be what it is. Try to do a few nice things for yourself, regulate your nervous system, change your scenery, get some fresh air, have some guilt free rest, co regulate with someone who makes you feel safe.

And remember that within the next hour you may feel so different, that it’s ok to pause & take time for you, that all feelings are warranted & not to be pushed down, sit with them, then let them pass & witness without judgment as even a small change to your nervous system is a massive win. c x

💭One of the things I just love about KINESIOLOGY is having the ability to help your nervous system come in to a more regulated state.

It’s a funny thing to try & explain… but in a balance your body tells me exactly how it’s feeling: physically + spiritually + energetically.

Our body stores so much from our past experiences - good & bad & lots of emotions get ‘stuck’ in our body causing all sorts of physical symptoms which we sometimes can’t put our finger on. When we start to muscle test, your body sends subtle signals which respond with positive or negative feedback. Anything that your subconscious wants to bring up is also ‘felt’ by this incredible muscle testing & we then ‘balance’ it.

These many corrections can come in the form of NLP, chakra balance, reiki, essential oil support, food intolerances, acupressure, massage, meridian work, affirmations, drawing & free movement, specific stretches, even colour therapy.

It’s seriously such an incredible modality. & the best part is, we can diffuse any negative emotions & replace them with beautiful positive ones. It may take a few days for the balance to integrate, sometimes you’ll leave bouncing off the walls, & other times you’ll be more calm & relaxed & in need of some turning inwards to let the work settle.

All in all, it’s like a super big warm hug for your whole being, you simply lay back & your body & I do the work.

Bookings are open for next week (link in my bio) & I would love to see you for some nourishment & time out. c x

1. DISCHARGE the energy in your body to regulate your nervous system. Shadow box, flick your hands & feet as if you’re releasing that panic energy, tense & shake your muscles from your thighs to your biceps. Discharging this energy reminds your body you do not have to ‘fight, flee’ you are HERE in this moment SAFE.

2. cup one hand at the base of your skull, cup on hand over your forehead & sway your body back & forth. This brings the blood flow back to the prefrontal cortex (a big region in the front of the brain). It can be called the control center of our brains because it helps to control our thoughts & actions. The main job of the prefrontal cortex is to control our emotional responses to stress. We’re usually not in our rational mind in the mindset of panic or anxiety.

3. Place one hand on your chest & one hand on your tummy (keep swaying) & count your breath in, then count your breath out. Firstly try to equal out your breath: ie. in for 4 out for 4. Then extend the exhalation as you gain control of your breathing.

Remember a small change is such a positive. Regulate each day so your body knows how to feel SAFE. Then in the times you need it, your body AND nervous system remembers & it will bring you into regulation much faster. sending love. c x

My greatest gift is teaching my gorgeous clients to map their nervous system & share tools they can use to come into regulation. I hear so often how frustrating it can be dealing with anxiety & panic but let me tell you… YOU CAN FEEL BETTER. We just need to SHOW your body you are safe & allow you to come into a regulated state more often, and stay there longer.

>> these are some of my favourite tips..

1. DISCHARGE the energy in your body to regulate your nervous system. Shadow box, flick your hands & feet as if you’re releasing that panic energy, tense & shake your muscles from your thighs to your biceps. Discharging this energy reminds your body you do not have to ‘fight, flee’ you are HERE in this moment SAFE.

2. THE HOLD.. cup one hand at the base of your skull, cup on hand over your forehead & sway your body back & forth. This brings the blood flow back to the prefrontal cortex (a big region in the front of the brain). It can be called the control center of our brain because it helps to control our thoughts & actions. The main job of the prefrontal cortex is to control our emotional responses to stress. We’re usually not in our rational mind in the mindset of panic or anxiety.

3. CONNECT… Place one hand on your chest & one hand on your tummy (keep swaying) & count your breath in, then count your breath out. Firstly try to equal your breath: ie. in for 4 out for 4. Then extend the exhalation as you gain control of your breathing.

Give yourself time to come into regulation. Body up is where we are at. SHOWING our body we are safe. Remember even a small change is such a positive.

Practice some of the somatic tools that make you feel good (remember some will work better for YOU). Do them each day so your body knows how to feel SAFE & you start to build resilience in your nervous system. Then in the times you need it, your body AND nervous system remembers & it will bring you into regulation much faster.

If you’d like some support, I’m in clinic Tuesdays plus distant sessions are available so I can see you from the comfort of your own home via zoom. sending love. c x
