You Know This Feeling, Don't You?
You Know This Feeling, Don't You?
The weight of carrying everyone else's emotions. The exhaustion that sleep doesn't cure. The longing for just a moment to breathe without someone needing something from you.

You've been taught that caring for others means sacrificing yourself. That being a good teacher, therapist, nurse, or parent means your own needs come last.

But what if there was another way? A gentler path that didn't ask you to choose between caring for others and caring for yourself?

What is TEA and Teachers?
What is TEA and Teachers?
TEA and Teachers is a breath of space in a world that asks too much.
It’s not another strategy. Not another thing to tick off your to-do list.
It’s a return — to yourself, to your breath, to the teacher you were before burnout, before overwhelm, before the world got so loud.
This is a Celtic-rooted journey of restoration, grounded in nature’s wisdom and shaped by the rhythm of breath.
It’s made especially for teachers who are tired of giving from an empty well — who long for more gentleness, more presence, more joy in how they live and work.
Through seasonal support, breath practices, storytelling, flower essences, reflective circles and soul-led teaching tools, The Teachers’ Exhale offers a new way forward — one that honours your nervous system, your intuition, and the sacredness of your role.
You’ll find no urgency here. Just grounded guidance, a touch of old magic, and a steady hand to walk beside you.
This is for the teacher who wants to teach from a place of calm centre — not exhaustion. For the teacher who knows they carry more than curriculum — they carry care, influence, and healing presence. And for the teacher who knows that when she exhales, everything softens — including the classroom.

An Scaoileadh Séimh – The Gentle Unraveling
An Scaoileadh Séimh – The Gentle Unraveling
For the soul who knows it's time for something deeper.
For the soul who knows it's time for something deeper.
You've tried the strategies, read the books, attended the workshops. You know all the right techniques for managing stress and finding balance. Yet here you are, still feeling like you're drowning while everyone else seems to swim effortlessly.
The Gentle Unraveling isn't another programme to fix you - because you were never broken.
It's a soft exploration of how our experience is created from within, and how naturally we return to peace when we stop working so hard against ourselves.
Over 6 gentle weeks, you'll discover the revolutionary understanding that your feelings don't come from your circumstances - they come from your thinking about your circumstances. This isn't positive thinking or mindset work. It's seeing something that's already true, something that changes everything once you see it.
What happens when you see this:
Stress becomes optional (not because your circumstances change, but because you see where stress actually comes from)
Relationships flow more easily when you're not trying to manage everyone else's reactions
Your presence transforms - and everyone around you feels the difference
Peace becomes your default, not something you have to create
This sacred journey includes:
Weekly 2-hour circles with teaching, breathwork, and shared silence
Daily breath practices sent to your phone
Private community space for gentle support
Personal 30-minute breathwork session with Marie
Integration circle 30 days after completion
Celtic blessings and nature soundscapes woven throughout
Limited to 10 souls for intimate, transformational work.

Sometimes the soul needs to dip its toe in the water before diving deep. These gentle invitations help you taste the medicine before committing to the full feast.
Sacred Pause Circles
Sacred Pause Circles
A soft space for breath, reflection, and gentle planning.
A soft space for breath, reflection, and gentle planning.
Once a month, we gather—not to strive or fix,
but simply to pause.
Each 90-minute live circle is a gentle sanctuary for teachers, where you are welcome just as you are.
We begin with a calming breath practice, letting the day settle and soften.
A quiet journaling prompt follows, inviting gentle reflection—no need to share unless you wish.
Then, the circle opens into peaceful space:
plan your month
prepare a lesson/ reflect on lessons taught
journal
simply rest in shared stillness.
There is no right way—only what serves your heart in this moment.
This is your time to tend both your teaching and your well-being,
without pressure, without performance.
A quiet place to belong, breathe, and come home to yourself.
€33 per gathering, or €111 for a season of 4 circles
Held live on Zoom | Cameras always optional |
No replays—just presence, just now.
You are invited to enter when you’re ready—each pause is enough.

Morning Whispers
Morning Whispers
20 gentle wake-up calls for your soul
Start your school day with intention and steadiness, wrapped in gentle support that understands the weight you carry.
Each weekday morning for 4 weeks, you'll receive a short voice note (2–3 minutes) straight to your phone or inbox - like receiving a warm hug from a friend who truly understands the teacher's heart.
Each message includes:
A gentle breath practice to settle or awaken your nervous system
A simple thought, intention, or reflection for the day ahead
A soft reminder that you're not alone in how you're feeling
Celtic wisdom or Irish blessings to ground you in something deeper
Permission to be exactly where you are, exactly as you are
There's no pressure to reply, no login, no performance. No overwhelm to add to your already full days.
Just press play, listen, and let the breath guide you back to yourself before the day begins. Let these whispers become your gentle anchor - a moment of belonging to yourself before you give so generously to others.
Whether you're walking to your car, making your morning tea, or sitting in the school car park gathering courage for the day ahead, these voice notes meet you wherever you are.
This is for the teacher who needs reminding that her well-being matters. For the educator who longs for just a few minutes of being held before holding everyone else.
💫 4 weeks of weekday voice notes (20 total)
💫 Your everyday breath companion — rooted in nature and calm
💫 A gentle return home to yourself, one morning at a time
Go mall agat féin - take your time. You are always welcome here.

A Gentle, Breath-Led Sanctuary for Support and Guidance
A Quiet, Supportive Space to Come Home to Yourself
With over 34 years of experience walking alongside teachers and students, I offer one-to-one sessions that honour the fullness of your teaching life—its challenges, its joys, and the quieter questions beneath it all.
This is not just coaching, and not just mentoring—it is a gentle partnership where you are invited to:
Pause and breathe amidst the demands of your work
Reflect on your journey—where you’ve been, and where you’re being called next
Explore challenges with compassion, whether around confidence, boundaries, classroom presence, or legacy
Receive practical guidance and creative support when you need it most
Rest in a safe, confidential space—no judgement, no performance, just room to be yourself
Each session draws on my decades of experience and my extensive toolkit, but always meets you exactly where you are.
We may use breathwork, reflective conversation, gentle inquiry, and grounded tools—whatever best serves your unique story and season.
You are welcome to book a single session (€88), come for a season, or journey together as long as you need. (packages available)
There is no fixing here—only the invitation to come home to your own wisdom, at your own pace.
You are not alone in this work. You are already enough.
Let’s find your next exhale, together.

Supervision for Teachers
Supervision for Teachers
Confidential Reflection and Renewal
Confidential Reflection and Renewal
Teaching asks so much of the heart, the spirit, and the body. Sometimes, you need a confidential, non-judgemental space to lay down what you carry, be witnessed, discuss concerns or worries and gently process all that unfolds in your day-to-day work.
Supervision sessions are a softly held space—guided by my 34 years of experience—where you are welcome to:
Reflect on challenging situations, relationships, or moments from your teaching practice
Explore boundaries, ethical dilemmas, and questions of self-care with gentle support
Tend to the emotional landscape of teaching—its joys, sorrows, and quiet complexities
Receive perspective, practical guidance, and simple breath-based tools for resilience
Whether you come for a single session or ongoing support, supervision is not about evaluation or critique.
It is a circle of safety and replenishment—a chance to restore meaning, process with kindness, and find your own steady ground again.
Offered as individual sessions online
Teaching can be a lonely place to be but there is no need to journey alone.
Here, you are welcome just as you are—free to share, reflect, and renew in your own way and time.
Let this be your safe harbour, where your heart can rest, and your wisdom can grow.

My Mission
My Mission
My mission is to create a gentle, supportive space where teachers, carers, and space-holders can return to their own calm, resilience, and quiet joy.
After more than 30 years in the classroom, I I understand the deep pull of responsibility — the pressure, the overwhelm, the emotional strain that can slowly drain your light. The Sacred Tree Circle was born from my deep desire to offer not just techniques or tools, but a true sanctuary — a space where you are seen, supported, and lovingly encouraged to place your own well-being at the centre of your life.
My mission is to help you reclaim that calm, tend to your emotional well-being, and step gently into a life where you feel held, fulfilled, and thriving — just as you are. 🌸✨
