FAQ

What if I’m sensitive to scents?
While we use high-quality therapeutic essential oils from doTerra, the aromatherapy element is customisable. If you prefer a scent-free experience, you can simply enjoy the tactile process of the soy wax without the oils. Just let us know at the beginning of the class.
Can I bring my children to the workshop?
To ensure a relaxing and focused environment for all guests, this experience is designed for adults and teenagers aged 14 and over. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Hi, I’m Corina!
My journey into the world of artistic creation officially began in July 2024, following a redundancy from a life-long career in corporate banking. But that moment was my wake-up call and I soon realised I had been running on empty for far too long. I founded The Scent of Burnout as a way to heal myself and, ultimately, to help others find their own creative reset.
I started with the simple, soothing ritual of pouring soy wax candles, but soon discovered the incredible versatility of eco-stones like Jesmonite and mineral-based plasters. I became passionate about these materials because they are sustainable, durable and offer a grounding, tactile experience that is the perfect solution to digital fatigue.
I love teaching because I get to witness the "magic moment" when a guest moves from the stress of their day into a state of flow. There is something incredibly rewarding about working with your hands and seeing someone’s face light up as they unmould their first creation. I have designed my workshops to be a safe, supportive space for decompression and fun.
Most people don’t realise that "stone" can be so sensory! My workshops are unique because I integrate my expertise as a doTERRA Wellness Advocate. We start and end with "aromatic moments" to ground the senses. I also use a specialised revolving stage and photo light box for the finale, ensuring every guest leaves with a professional-quality memory of their achievement.
While my business is a new chapter, I bring a high level of professional excellence to everything I do:
  • Formal Qualifications: I hold a Corporate Wellness Coach Diploma with Distinction and am a Certified Mental Health First Aider.
  • Expertise: I have spent nearly two years perfecting the art of sensory casting and specialised mineral-based designs.
  • The "Burnout" Perspective: my decade in the corporate sector means I truly understand the pressure my guests are under, and I have used my distinction-level training to build a workshop that actually works for stress relief.
