SWIISH: Wellness Unlocked

Join hosts Sally Obermeder and Maha Corbett with special guest Dr Sarah Jane Perri – founder of Spinal Energetics – as they explore how our bodies hold stories, stress and emotion, and how releasing them can bring you back to who you really are.

From grief and illness to “involuntary” movement on the treatment table, this conversation goes deep into trauma, conditioning, purpose and the power of life force moving through the body.

✓ What spinal energetics actually is – and how it differs from chiropractic, Reiki & talk therapy
✓ How grief, loss and hardship became the “breadcrumbs” that led Sarah to create this modality
✓ Why our bodies store unprocessed emotions as tension, pain and protective patterns
✓ What those big, involuntary movements really are (and why it’s not an exorcism)
✓ How the body can process trauma without needing to re-tell or re-live the story
✓ Why talk therapy alone often can’t reach the unconscious layers of our pain
✓ Guilt, shame & conditional love – and how they shape the nervous system
✓ The link between family trauma, unspoken pain and nervous system/brain conditions
✓ Why safety, unconditional acceptance and non-judgement are key to deep healing
✓ Social conditioning, “being acceptable” and how we lose our imagination and play
✓ Life force, purpose and why we need something bigger than ourselves to feel truly alive
Whether you’re carrying old heartbreak, feel disconnected from yourself, or are simply curious about energy work, this episode invites you to see your body as wise, intelligent and capable of profound change.

Mentioned Practices & Ideas
✓ Spinal Energetics sessions – working with the body’s own life force to unwind stored patterns and responses
✓ Body-based trauma release – allowing shaking, sound, movement and expression to complete old fight/flight/freeze responses
✓ Letting the body lead – trusting which “layer” your system wants to work on, rather than forcing a specific issue
✓ Co-regulation & working with parents – supporting children by first addressing the nervous systems of the adults around them
✓ Safety strategies vs “blocks” – seeing protective patterns as once-necessary survival strategies that can now be updated
✓ Connecting to meaning & purpose – orienting life around what truly matters, not just achievement or external success
✓ “Putting the backpack down” – releasing the emotional “rocks” we’ve carried for years while keeping the lessons

Join host Maha Corbett with special guest Alexx Stuart – founder of Low Tox Life – as they unpack what it really means to live a low-tox life in a world where chemicals are everywhere.

From food, water and plastics to perfume, candles, cleaning products and bedding, Alexx shows you how to lower your toxic load in simple, realistic ways – without spiralling into fear or perfectionism.

✓ What a “low-tox life” actually is – and why it’s about reducing overall load, not aiming for “chemical-free”
✓ Why toxins are now unavoidable globally – and how to focus on biggest bang for your buck changes instead of trying to fix everything
✓ Alexx’s health story: chronic tonsillitis, antibiotics that stopped working, a naturopath who actually asked questions – and how removing gluten changed everything
✓ How food led her into beauty, personal care & home – and why she coined the term “low tox” (and didn’t trademark the phrase so others could use it)
✓ The huge gap in chemical testing – why most man-made chemicals are not tested thoroughly (or in combination) before they hit the market
✓ Glyphosate, sprays & coatings – what might be happening to your food long before you pick it up at the supermarket
✓ Why “real food is hard” is a myth we’ve been sold – and how to flip your trolley from mostly packaged → mostly produce
✓ How branding kids’ food wires lifelong habits – from lunchbox treats to “I’ve had a stressful day, I need a Tim Tam”
✓ Why bottled water in soft plastic is a major source of microplastics – and how heat, transport and storage make it worse
✓ Alexx’s #1 low-tox swap: filtered tap water (for your cells and the planet)
✓ Synthetic fragrance & phthalates – the chemicals that make scents “last all day” and why they’re a hormone-disruption red flag
✓ Hidden fragrance sources – perfumes, candles, air fresheners, fabric softener, toilet cleaners and “fresh” sprays
✓ How to simplify cleaning like our grandmothers: castile soap, bicarb, lemon, vinegar & less “specialty” products
✓ Pillows, bedding & mattresses – why what you sleep on matters, and how to upgrade to natural fibres without doing everything at once
✓ The low-tox mantra: “We do what we do most of the time so we can go with the flow some of the time.”
Whether you’re low-tox curious or already deep in the journey, this episode will help you feel empowered, not overwhelmed – and give you clear starting points that actually make a difference.

Mentioned Practices & Ideas
✓ Low-tox, not “no-tox” – focusing on reducing exposure instead of chasing impossible purity
✓ Trolley percentage check – noticing how much of your shop is packaged vs fresh produce, and slowly flipping the ratio
✓ Simple food swaps – packet snacks → fruit + cheese; commercial chocolate → high-cacao options with fewer additives
✓ Start where you eat most – upgrading the foods you go through fastest (like carrots, apples, berries) to better quality first
✓ Filtered tap water – investing in a good water filter and reusable bottles instead of relying on single-use plastic water
✓ Reducing soft plastics – choosing glass or sturdier packaging where possible and avoiding hot-stored bottled drinks
✓ Fragrance awareness – switching to fragrance-free or essential-oil scented products for cleaning, laundry and personal care
✓ Home fragrance swaps – trading plug-ins, aerosol sprays and heavily scented candles for beeswax candles and fresh air (hello, open windows)
✓ Simple cleaning toolkit – castile soap, bicarb soda, lemon, vinegar, borax and a good-quality multipurpose concentrate like Sal Suds
✓ Bedding upgrades over time – replacing old pillows with natural fibres (latex, wool, cotton, bamboo) and choosing natural sheets when next on sale

Join host Maha Corbett for a heartfelt Ask Me Anything episode as she answers your most requested questions on low-tox living, supplements, autism parenting, mindset, business, egg freezing and what it really means to feel “behind” in life.

From gut health and chemicals in the home to the realities of raising a neurodivergent child and building SWIISH from scratch, Maha keeps it raw, practical and deeply honest.

✓ The life-changing habit: how going low-tox transformed her son’s gut health, development and the whole family’s wellbeing
✓ Autism, gut health & stress – what repeated appointments taught her about the gut–brain connection and inflammation
✓ How reading labels, ditching harsh cleaners and reducing chemical load became non-negotiable
✓ Why she believes a healthy diet alone isn’t enough anymore (soil, water, sprays, food quality)
✓ The supplements she’s obsessed with: NAD support, supergreens, calcium + vitamin D & K2
✓ Why fibre, plant variety and polyphenols are crucial for modern gut health
✓ The mindset she’s actively working on: “there isn’t enough time for me” – and how she’s rewriting that story
✓ Parenting an autistic child through intense dysregulation – headbanging, fear, and the hardest year of her life
✓ How she stays consistent when life is heavy: “do the things” first, let the feelings catch up later
✓ Freezing her eggs at 37 – cost, emotions, lack of information and why she still feels proud she did it
✓ Protecting her son’s dignity & privacy while still supporting other neurodivergent parents
✓ Starting a business: sacrifices, late nights, trademarks, legals and why passion alone isn’t enough
✓ Navigating disagreements with Sally as sisters and co-founders – and why love always wins
✓ What SWIISH has taught her about herself: strength, resilience, purpose and owning her worth
Whether you’re on a wellness journey, navigating neurodivergent parenting, considering freezing your eggs or dreaming of starting a business, this episode will make you feel less alone and more empowered to back yourself.

Mentioned Practices & Ideas
✓ Low-tox living – swapping out heavily fragranced and chemical-laden products for cleaner options over time
✓ Label reading & ingredient awareness – questioning anything you can’t recognise or would be told to “call poisons” about
✓ Plant-based cleaning products – using brands that disclose ingredients and avoid harsh chemicals (e.g. laundry, dishes, surfaces)
✓ Mediterranean-style eating – lots of lean protein, veggies, carbs, and a big variety of plants for fibre
✓ Targeted supplementation – NAD boosters, daily supergreens, calcium with vitamin D & K2 to support aging, bones and cellular health
✓ Infrared sauna ritual – 10–15 minutes in a non-toxic, at-home infrared sauna at night to switch off and support recovery
✓ “Do the things” approach – choosing small supportive actions (sleep, supplements, reaching out) even when emotionally overwhelmed
✓ Mindset reframes – challenging stories like “I’m behind” or “there’s no time for me” and choosing new narratives

Join host Sally Obermeder for a solo episode all about manifestation and goal setting – the practice she says has transformed her life more than anything else.
From identifying what you truly want (not what you “should” want) to creating an evidence jar for your wins, Sally walks you through her exact process – step by step.
✓ Why manifestation & goal setting aren’t just for January 1 – and how Sally uses them every single day
✓ How to get radically honest about what you actually want (beyond family expectations, society and “shoulds”)
✓ Future-you identity work – habits, boundaries and standards the “next-level you” holds
✓ Limiting beliefs: how to spot them, whose voice they really are, and how they quietly cap your success
✓ Why writing it down changes everything – and how one cheap notebook has tracked years of goals
✓ The “year in review” brain dump: what didn’t work, what did, and what that reveals about what you want next
✓ Building a vision for your life across key areas: body, family, relationships, marriage, work, money & home
✓ Getting specific with goals – revenue, partnerships, routines, feelings – instead of vague “be happier” wishes
✓ Why goals often repeat for years – and how that helps you see what’s really going on underneath
✓ The difference between setting goals and actually achieving them: aligned action (no one is coming to save you)
✓ Dealing with “failed” goals, timelines that blow out, and when it’s time to cross a goal out and move on
✓ Asking the universe for signs (rarely), building inner certainty, and staying the course when it’s hard
✓ The “evidence jar” – tracking every little manifestation so you don’t forget how powerful you are
✓ Gratitude as fuel: holding deep appreciation for now and big dreams for more at the same time
✓ How Sally manifested her TV career and SWIISH’s expansion into the UK (Boots & Health) over years, not weeks
Whether you’re brand new to manifestation or ready to refine your process, this episode gives you a clear, practical way to dream bigger – and then actually move towards it.

Mentioned Practices & Ideas
✓ Honesty check-in – asking, “If no one was watching, what would I truly want?”
✓ Future self journaling – exploring: What does future-me tolerate? How does she behave? What are her standards?
✓ Limiting belief list – writing beliefs like “I’m too old” or “I’ll never meet the right person” so you can see them clearly
✓ One dedicated goal book – using the same notebook year after year to see which goals keep repeating
✓ Yearly brain dump – “What didn’t work?” and “What did work?” across life: health, family, money, relationships, work, home
✓ Life categories spread – separate pages for: body, family, relationships, marriage, work, money, home & lifestyle
✓ Feeling your goals – visualising the moment (e.g. seeing SWIISH on a shelf) and anchoring that giddy feeling into your writing
✓ Daily/weekly review – keeping goals in front of you (not buried in a drawer) via your notebook and a notes list on your phone
✓ Evidence Jar – writing every manifestation “win” on a tiny note and dropping it into a cup/jar to revisit when doubt creeps in
✓ Aligned action – making sure your behaviour and effort actually match the scale of what you’re asking for
✓ Releasing misaligned goals – giving yourself permission to cross out goals that no longer fit and choose new ones
✓ Gratitude ritual – first and last thought of the day: “Thank you for letting me live to see another day”
