Maria began her Druidic studies as a young adult, merging her childhood learnings and experiences with her exploration of ancient Irish sites, and any teachings she could lay her hands on. Finding similarities between the Druidic approach to learning & personal development, through its oral tradition, and her own individual teaching practice approach, as an Educator within the Irish Adult Educational system. The power of this storytelling tradition also weaved its way into her work, naturally, as a Registered Healthcare Professional, where a part of her care provision included the space for connection through storytelling where ever possible. "Where there are stories there are people & Visa Versa". Maria officially joined the Order of Bards, Ovate's & Druids (OBOD) in 2024, & is also a Member of New Order of Druids (NOD).
