The Creation & Story Behind Amrita Holistics

Corinne Cooke
Holistic Health Practitioner, NLP Practitioner & Wellbeing Coach, Ayurveda Consultant, Holistic Counsellor, Yoga & Meditation Teacher

With a background in corporate HR and occupational psychology, I know first hand the effects of stress and anxiety. My own healing journey using energy healing, meditation, and NLP inspired me to leave a 15-year career in the corporate world and focus on my passion: helping women unlock their potential through holistic wellness.

My practice is built on compassion, intuition, and a deep commitment to supporting women through life’s challenges. I work collaboratively, tailoring sessions to meet each client’s specific needs, whether it’s addressing emotional trauma, navigating a life transition, or simply finding more balance in daily life. Together, we will explore your mental, emotional, and spiritual landscape, using techniques like coaching, Ayurveda, and yogic practices to guide you toward transformation.

Clients appreciate my ability to create a warm, supportive environment where they can feel empowered to trust their own intuition and healing abilities. I help you connect with your deeper self, working to remove the blocks that stand in the way of your personal growth. My goal is to inspire meaningful, lasting change by helping you align your mind, body, and spirit in harmony.

More About My Journey - From Corporate to Holistic Wellbeing

"A Path unfolds to living a more conscious, connected and balanced life..."

From as early as I can remember I questioned my existence and purpose, and always had a deep sense and knowing that there was much more than just the physical dimension and a deeper meaning and mission in this life.  I always felt I saw the world differently, and had so many unanswered questions.  This initially led my path and study in psychology, human consciousness, philosophy and a continued, and deepening interest in mysticism and spirituality.

I have 15 years’ experience working in a Corporate HR Management field, with a focus on occupational psychology, consultancy, coaching, mentoring and development.  Working within challenging and complex organisations and business sectors in the Energy industry.  During this time I was well respected and known for communication skills, interpersonal and relationship management expertise and values of integrity and trust, with which I always work and live by.  I have a BSc degree in Psychology and am MCIPD qualified. Yet throughout this time there was an underlying sense of unease that I was on the wrong path, and uncomfortable feeling that I didn’t quite “fit in” to this world, and yet not quite knowing how things could be different.

Following several significant changes in my life, I left behind the corporate world, in early 2016.  Drawing on this background and experience, and my commitment to my own personal development and spiritual evolution, my focus has shifted and evolved to take a more spiritual and holistic path.  As this journey has unfolded I have felt called to deepen my knowledge in health and wellness alongside my spiritual practice, as taking a combined holistic approach to my own health and well-being has become more obvious and important to me than ever before.

I understand more than ever that the choices we make have such a profound effect and consequence on our mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health and well-being as well as on the environment and all that surrounds us.

I know from personal experience, during my corporate career and other life experiences the effects of modern-day life, and through disconnection from nature, how this can easily manifest in imbalance in one’s life on all levels.  How this can cause increased levels of stress, anxiety and lead to depression other mental and physical illnesses as well as general feelings of disconnectedness, dissociation, separation and hopelessness.

Through years of my own inner work, self-help and development, trying many different alternative therapies, and a prominently western psychology based approach, in a search for healing and a deeper meaning.  I eventually came to discover a meditation practice which gradually lead me to follow a spiritual path –since then my life has completely transformed in the most unexpected and profound ways.  And I have been blessed to have had the support of many incredible,  teachers along the way. I feel honored to now be able to support and guide others in a similar way.

Spirituality does not dictate or give us answers directly, it gently fosters and nurtures within us a deeper connection with the divine (our higher selves/ God consciousness).  In doing this it encourages the seeker of truth to look deeper within themselves and learn and grow from our own experiences.  It gives us a heightened sense of awareness and through yogic science the tools and framework to help us find and remember the answers and hidden truths for and within ourselves.

The journey has not been an easy one, and has taken a huge amount of effort, dedication, trust and faith.  It is an ongoing process and unfoldment, however I know I am on the right path  and that everything in my life has had deeper meaning and purpose which has led me to where I am now.

My spiritual practice has enabled me to stay more grounded as well as more connected to spirit so that I feel more guided – and choices in life have become clearer.  Through my own experience this has brought me an abundance of balance, peace and harmony to all aspects of my life, and enabled me to stay grounded and strong through even the most challenging times.  This in itself gives a sense of connectedness at soul level – or “immortality” (feeling of being much more than the physical body) and feeling that one can overcome virtually anything life throws at you as you can clearly see a higher purpose and deeper meaning behind everything.

My healing journey has also lead me to spend much cherished time in the beautiful Islands of the Philippines, immersed in nature and spending time with shamanic healers and at the retreat centre Bahay Kalipay and its conscious eco community, learning and experiencing the magic of Inner Dance.  It was here I also got the unexpected “calling” back to mother India.

Through spending much of the last 8 years, immersing myself in spiritual India, (the culture of  Sanatana Dharma – the universal “eternal law”).  I have pursued a spiritual path, which has fostered in me a profound personal learning and growth, I have deepened my knowledge of Vedic science, Ayurveda, understanding of yogic practices and how important energy and vibration is in terms of our health, wellness and indeed, all that we do in our lives. This ancient wisdom, when applied and practiced in our modern day lives with dedication and consistency can help raise our vibration, internally, externally and influence all we do in a profound and positive way.

Since I can remember I always had a love of nature, interest in and preference for natural plant remedies, which in my early years was largely inspired by and shared with my Grandmother.  Though, it was during my first trip to India in 2009 when my discovery of and interest in the ancient knowledge of Ayurveda was first captured.  I believe passionately in using natural, organic plant-based products in order to look and feel great, inside and out, for prevention of “dis-ease” in the body, and at the same time being kinder to the environment.

I am passionate about sharing a holistic approach and lifestyle through natural therapies, yogic principles and Ayurveda, which, if practiced and lived with dedication has the potential to have profound, awakening and lasting effects on your life on all levels.
