Maria is an ANFT Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide and Coach, EcoNidra Teacher, Therapetic writing teacher, story weaving facilitator and Mindfulness/ Compassion Teacher.

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

She works with public groups, 1:1 individualised coaching & mentoring and private groups to help promote wellbeing, balance and resilience.

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 is 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.
