Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Corinna Baker. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Corinna , thanks for joining us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
I want to bring happiness and wellness to the masses. REAL happiness and wellness. Not the kind that comes from a “magic pill”, but from within. Once you find that, no one can take it from you and your entire life changes in positive ways. Then you’re able to show up for others in the same way. It starts a ripple effect. That’s how we change the world.
Corinna , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I really started out with Tarot because I found a lot of people are really drawn to get readings done. Some people do it just for fun, some people have questions and some are genuinely desperate for direction. I got my first deck at a metaphysical shop in Colorado around 12 years old, so I already had them and was familiar with them. I started reading for friends and family members when I was a teenager but didn’t offer paid readings to the public until about 2017 or so, after about 20 years with them. In 2018 I had what I refer to as a medically induced breakdown and almost ended my life. My sister got me into fitness and nutrition and that helped me a lot. I had no idea how much that type of thing really tied into metal health, but it does. More people need to be familiarized with that. That’s what got me interested in nutrition coaching and just spreading the word to anyone who will listen, that what we put in our bodies is more important than just how much we weigh.
Reiki training was another thing that really helped me through my depression. Reiki helped me clear and work through some blockages both mentally and energetically. After that I just kept going to other modalities like meditation and breath work. I had learned a little about breath work in therapy before but there is more to it. I also recently partnered with two lovely ladies at Breathe Healing Studio; Jessica Bakalar and Olivia Zito. We all get together to do trainings and discuss new modalities we’re interested in and how to incorporate them into our practices. It has been a great help to the three of us and our clientele.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
I really like to do local events and network with people in person. It really gives me a chance to meet people where there are with their understanding of these ‘new’ or ‘strange’ methods. It helps to be able to answer questions in real time and in-person, so that any misunderstandings can be kept to minimum. I also do some free events for people who are still a little skeptical. Once they experience reiki or get a great reading, word of mouth travels.
Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?
Any books, presentations or any media at all by Wayne Dyer has profoundly impacted my life in a personal and professional manner. His teachings are just so amazing and insightful. I haven’t been able to put them all into practice yet but I am working on them all the time.
