Maria is a Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, Coach and Trainer. Most of her work today centres around training others as she heads towards the end of her working career.

Maria is trained in various modalities, Nature Based, Meditation and Mindfulness teaching, Holding Space, Journalling, Counselling to name a few.

She is the founder of Mindful Connections where she focussed on both individual and group experiences to help increase balance, stillness and much needed rest.

Today she offers an accredited training ~ Certified Nature Connection and Forest Bathing Guide ~ As well as Supervision and in person group supervisions for ongoing support, connection and community.

It all started after a period of work related burn out in 2001 and 2002, Maria found a path to her own restoration during a solo journey along the West Coast of Ireland.

She has been dedicated to helping others find their own balance, stillness and rediscovery through the healing power of Nature and Connection, natural silence and self care practices. And now through training wants to pass this to others to be able to continue this work from the heart with competence, confidence and compassion.
