Supportive spaces for women to reconnect, grow and reclaim through embodied practices and mindful living.

FREE DISCOVERY CALL

Hello, im maria, welcome.

Hello!

My mission is to create supportive spaces and nurturing containers where women can feel seen, held, witnessed and supported as they reconnect with themselves. Spaces that invite growth, self-reclamation, nourishment and flourishment.

Drawing from my own journey, lived experiences, studies, inner work and travels around the world, I offer a holistic approach that weaves together breathwork, yoga, meditation, movement, sound, nervous system awareness and reflective practices.

At the heart of my work is the belief that everything we seek already exists within us wisdom, resilience, love, abundance and an innate capacity to heal and grow. Sometimes we simply need the space, compassion, presence, awareness, support and safety to remember.

Whether through 1:1 support, group programmes, classes, workshops, or retreats, my intention is to help women reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives that feel more grounded, aligned and fulfilling.

oFFERINGS

  • My 1:1 sessions offer a deeply personalised space where we move at your pace and work with whatever feels most present and important for you.

    My approach is holistic, supporting the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of wellbeing. Sessions are designed to feel grounding, safe, and supportive, allowing your nervous system to gradually settle while helping you reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way.

    Together, we explore what may be contributing to challenges such as anxiety, stress, recurring patterns, difficult life experiences, or feelings of disconnection. Through compassionate exploration and embodied practices, we begin to understand the roots of these patterns so that you can move forward with greater clarity, self-awareness, and self-trust.

    Drawing on nervous system regulation, somatic practices, breathwork, mindfulness, yoga, and reflective inquiry, I support women in cultivating a deeper connection to themselves and creating lasting change from a more grounded and empowered place.

    I am currently training in Compassionate Inquiry®, the trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, which informs my work through curiosity, awareness, and compassion.

    The intention is never to fix or rush the process, but to create a supportive space for growth, self-reclamation, and flourishing.

  • A 12-Week Journey of Reclamation. FLOURISH is a 12-week online sanctuary for women designed to support you through the autumn and winter months with connection, community, movement, reflection and deep personal growth. FLOURISH is an invitation to experience this season differently.

  • "I genuinely feel that I have made more progress and gained more understanding about myself in these few sessions than I did in all my previous years of therapy combined." - Andrea, Ireland

    “I had previously done some of Maria's breathwork and sound bath sessions and some other classes, and I found them all very beneficial. The 1:1 and Compassionate Inquiry sounded interesting as it was something I had not tried before. It's great that Maria can offer a bit of everything in one session. 

    I also prefer 1:1 rather than group stuff so I knew that would work better for me. 

    Over the years, I have tried different types of therapy and worked with four different therapists. I felt like I never got to the root of things and didn't find any of them very beneficial. Working with Maria has been a completely different experience. In just a few sessions, I have been able to open up more than I ever did before in all those years. Maria creates a space where I feel completely safe to be myself. She is incredibly compassionate, understanding and non-judgemental, which has allowed me to talk openly about things I would normally keep to myself. I never feel rushed, pressured or judged while I am there.

    I have already learned so much from our sessions that have made a big difference to my day to day life. I genuinely feel that I have made more progress and gained more understanding about myself in these few sessions than I did in all my previous years of therapy combined.  

    I would highly recommend working with Maria to anyone who is looking for a compassionate and supportive experience.”

  • "For the first time in two decades of therapy, I experienced a genuine sense of relief" Aideen, Cavan, Ireland.

    “After 20 years of various talk therapies that never seemed to provide the healing I was looking for, I decided it was time to try something different. I had heard wonderful things about Maria through friends, so I reached out to learn more about how she might be able to help.

    From our very first interaction, I felt a level of comfort with Maria that is unusual for me, especially with new people. She made me feel heard, understood, and accepted. There was even a sense of belonging that I hadn’t expected.

    What stood out most was how quickly Maria recognized my tendency to intellectualize my emotions. For years, I had become very skilled at talking about my feelings without actually feeling them. With great care and compassion, Maria gently guided me back into experiencing and processing those emotions rather than analyzing them from a distance.

    For the first time in two decades of therapy, I experienced a genuine sense of relief. With Maria, I was able to speak openly about past traumas, anxiety and the challenges I face, without fear of judgement. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine care create a safe space, while her gentle encouragement helps you grow beyond what you thought was possible.

    I would wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck. As someone who is autistic and has ADHD, I also found Maria to be incredibly neuroinclusive. Not only was her somatic approach deeply helpful, but I always felt understood and supported as a neurodivergent person.

    Working with Maria has been one of the most valuable therapeutic experiences I have had, and I am incredibly grateful for her support.”

  • "The benefit as learning from each session grew beyond the session.  I found myself noticing patterns in how I perceived situations and my role in situations" - Anne Marie, Ireland

    “I attended four group sound baths sessions with Maria and was blown away by how beneficial these were.  The nurturing way Maria guided these sessions enabled me to gain awareness of how busy my mind was and how I was carrying so much tension in my body. At the end of sessions I would feel such a sense of calm that would boost my energy and focus for the week - whao!

    This sounds bath opportunity came at a time when my life had improved in many ways.  I had increased self awareness and I was keen to prioritise my own wellbeing. 

    When I learnt Maria practised Compassionate Inquiry I was excited to avail of it with her. I had witnessed Maria facilitate the sound baths with a large group in a way that made every woman feel safe and supported. So I had complete trust and confidence in working with Maria on a one to one basis doing Compassionate Enquiry.

    The Compassionate Inquiry sessions were powerful beyond my expectations. Within the one hour sessions I was supported with addressing the intentions I set.  I discovered, or was supported with acknowledging and releasing emotions and learnt ideas that were established in childhood and actively impacted my current life. For me this entailed tears and emotional courage.  It was wonderful to be comfortable and supported to release tears and emotions in a safe compassionate environment.  

    The benefit as learning from each session grew beyond the session.  I found myself noticing patterns in how I perceived situations and my role in situations.  This enabled me to adjust my responses and behaviour away from automatic responses to conscious choices.  I found the communications and resources shared by Maria post session supportive and beneficial.

    I would highly recommend Maria and both her work with Sound Baths and  Compassionate Inquiry”
