Hello, I’m Maria — I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a certified Somatic Breathwork Facilitator and the founder of Mind Body Breath Healing.

This space was born from my own deep transformation over the past six years — through yoga, somatic therapy, breathwork, life-changing experiences and immersive time within Māori indigenous wisdom in Aotearoa (New Zealand), which so beautifully mirrors our own Celtic roots.

Alongside a fast-paced career in sales and marketing in the corporate tech world, I was quietly walking another path — one of self-inquiry, inner healing and spiritual growth. After years of working in high-pressure environments — from corporate office life to the ever-on world of hospitality — I saw firsthand how burnout, anxiety and disconnection slowly wear us down. While I thrived on drive and connection, I knew something essential was missing.

That calling led me to breathwork, somatic practices and the healing power of presence. And when I finally chose myself — over burnout, people-pleasing and playing small — I began to come home to who I truly am.

Through unblocking and unlearning the pain, shame and programming we all carry, I found freedom, authenticity and joy. I discovered that healing isn’t linear — we ebb and flow, rise and fall, grow and return. But each time we come back, we return softer, stronger and more aware.

Now, I hold space for others to do the same — to pause, to breathe and to remember who they are beneath the noise. I guide transformative experiences using breathwork, music, somatic movement, meditation, cacao and connection. I also use my voice, along with crystal singing bowls, drums, guitars and other instruments, as tools for sound healing — creating vibrational frequencies that support emotional release, energetic balance and deep nervous system regulation.

This work is deeply personal, intuitive and rooted in both science and ancient wisdom. It’s not about fixing — it’s about remembering. Reclaiming. Realigning. It’s about choosing presence over perfection. Truth over performance. And love over fear.

The breath always brings us home — to centre, to stillness, to peace — no matter where we are, no matter the moment. It is our anchor, our guide, and our gateway back to ourselves.

After years in New Zealand, my journey has brought me full circle in 2024 — now back home to Ireland. And now, I’m here to serve, to share and to support you in finding your way home too.

“To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom.” – Eckhart Tolle
