Episode 07: Corrine's Story

Today, Kristen and Kelly welcome a new friend, Corrine Kopp. Corrine obtained Bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Spanish with a concentration in Women’s Studies at Albright College. During that time, she also began Western treatment of talk therapy, nutritional counseling, and medication management. Later, with more desire to serve on a larger scale, she earned her Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. Finding only temporary relief with the Western services she utilized and trained to provide, she stumbled upon Eastern healing, including yoga, meditation, and energy work. Connected to her truth and heart, she has experienced “total transformation and healing of previous pain and suffering".” Corrine has worked across all mental health care levels, including her therapy practice, which she closed in 2020. She has specialized in supporting those with eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. Corrine is certified as a Reiki Master and facilitator for Heartfulness Meditation, Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT), and Eat Breathe Thrive groups. Practicing various forms of yoga since 2006, she is trained to teach both Bikram and Yin yoga. Incorporating mindfulness and meditation into her life since 2017, she has completed a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course and a silent retreat at a Theravada Buddhist Monastery. Corrine also has a passion for creativity, color, and mandalas. Usually wearing bright and bold dresses, she enjoys clothing design, coloring, drawing, embroidering, painting, sewing, and writing. Aligned with her work with individuals, she is also passionate about cleaning, organizing, and renovating spaces so they emanate love.
