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.
