About Me
Hello, I’m Corina— and I’m glad you’re here.I’m a trauma-recovery guide, creative healer, and straight-talking companion for people who’ve carried far too much alone.

I don’t work from theory.
I work from lived experience — the kind you don’t forget.What I Bring to This WorkMy approach blends:
✹ Grounded, attuned listening — the kind that hears what you couldn’t say out loud
✹ Somatic and emotional clarity — what your body has been trying to tell you
✹ Creative expression— art, metaphor, imagery that unlocks insight
✹ Cross-cultural understanding — shaped by a life lived across borders and identitiesThis is therapy-meets-truth-meets-creative liberation.
Nothing clinical. Nothing cold.
Just presence, compassion, and depth.Why I Do This WorkBecause I’ve walked the same path.
I know the weight of:âśą corporate burnout and toxic workplaces
âśą narcissistic family dynamics
âśą cultural dislocation and not belonging
âśą financial upheaval
âśą being minimised, ridiculed, or dismissed
✹ losing your voice in environments that demanded your silenceThese experiences don’t just hurt —
they fracture your sense of who you are.
But with the right support, they also become the beginning of something extraordinary:
a clearer identity, a stronger voice, a deeper truth.Straight Talk™ Is the Place Where That Transformation BeginsReal, warm, unpretentious, and honest in all the places that matter.
I won’t tiptoe around your pain, and I won’t smother you with platitudes.
You deserve someone who sees through the noise and meets you exactly where you are — without judgement, without performance, without pressure.
I know what it feels like to lose your voice.
And I know — with absolute certainty — how powerful it is when you take it back.That’s the journey we walk together:
truth, resilience, and the courage to rise into your own life.
