Friends of Wingate Studio
We believe in community, underdogs, partnerships and working together for the greater good. Wingate Studio has never been about simply selling shoes. We believe that small changes, micro habits, moving more, looking after our bodies, supporting independent businesses and making more considered choices can add up to something much bigger.
So we've created Friends of Wingate Studio: a growing directory of people, practitioners and independent businesses we think are worth knowing about. From foot health and natural movement to fitness, wellbeing and everyday health, these are people doing brilliant things in their communities. Some are barefoot advocates, some are simply barefoot-friendly, and others share our belief in helping people live stronger, healthier lives. Think of it as our little black book of good people doing good things.
... you are welcome!

Salutary Life
I am a qualified Acupuncturist, Naturopath and Iridologist based in Ringwood in the beautiful New Forest.
I have always felt strongly about using natural and holistic methods to achieve and maintain a healthy body and mind. By treating each person as an individual, rather than solely focusing on illness, I feel that this can be accomplished.
My training originated with Traditional Chinese Medicine, however my acupuncture style has since evolved and I now practice Neo Classical Acupuncture (NCA). This revolutionary style involves using predominantly one needle and has the potential to achieve immediate results. NCA uses a palpatory technique with diagnosis being reached in seconds, which is determined by patient feedback. It is also a fantastic treatment choice for those who may be nervous of needles!
Acupuncture has the potential to treat most conditions and illness. I have specialisms in fertility and pregnancy. I also treat pain and injury, mental and emotional health, women’s health, men’s health, and so much more.
As a Naturopath, I use several different therapeutic methods which include; Bach Flowers, Tissue Salts, Iridology, Nutrition, Homeopathy and Herbs. I regularly use Bach Flowers and Tissue Salts in conjunction with Acupuncture.

Wim Hof Method
My name is Corin and I’m a certified Advanced Wim Hof Method Instructor.
My journey with the method began not as a teacher, but as a seeker, someone searching for a way out of the grief that was affecting every inch of my life, the grief from losing 2 Brothers through Suicide in 2018 & 2020.
The method helped me form a deeper connection to both body and mind and most importantly allowed me to press pause on all the thoughts that plagued me so that I was able to process them constructively and move forward with my life.
I was originally drawn to the WHM by stories of people transforming their health, mindset, and resilience through breath work, cold exposure, and commitment.
What started as a personal experiment quickly became a profound shift in how I live, move, and relate to grief, stress, energy, and purpose.
Through the Wim Hof Method, I’ve experienced firsthand the power of going beyond perceived limits. The cold became my teacher, the breath my anchor, and the daily practice my path to strength and clarity.
As well as a tool for managing my grief, I used the method to overcome a heart attack, post Covid vaccine, and a diagnosis of Myocarditis in July 2021 - In 7 months I went from cardiac intensive care to bathing in frozen waterfalls and climbing mountains in minimal clothing as part of instructor training in Poland with Wim.
Since 2022 I now help others tap into their own inner power through workshops, guided sessions, and community experiences.
Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, boost performance and resilience, or simply to reconnect with yourself, I’m here to guide you with the same passion and authenticity that the method brought into my life.
