About
I’m Maria Brosnan, a specialist in educational leadership, health, and wellbeing, with over three decades of experience as a counsellor, coach, author, and public speaker.
Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and renowned companies, including British Airways, Burberry, and The Body Shop, as well as countless school leaders in the UK and internationally.
Passionate about promoting holistic wellbeing in the education sector, I founded Pursuit Wellbeing as a platform offering education, training, and coaching.
Prior to setting up Pursuit, I co-founded and managed two award-winning education technology companies; The Story Spinner and Striver.
I am host of the podcast, “Pursuit of Wellbeing,” and my acclaimed book, “Pursuit of Sleep for Teachers,” provides practical guidance for educators seeking to enhance their sleep quality.

Results & Testimonials
Bourne Education Trust has worked with Maria Brosnan from Pursuit Wellbeing for over the last year. She has provided hugely impactful resilience training to large numbers of our school and system leaders.
They are now able to better manage the daily workload pressures that characterise education and all report improved wellbeing, reduced anxiety and stress and better impact in the respective roles. Maria’s work has been transformational to those who have worked with her and I would recommend her to you without hesitation.
ALEX RUSSELL
CEO, BOURNE EDUCATION TRUST
Before I signed up to Heart Health, I believed that stress was part of the job and I just had to get used to it and accept that I would crash every holiday.
Since learning through the programme I have a completely different mindset. I understand far more about stress and what I can do to proactively manage my response “in the moment”. I would recommend all leaders (and anyone working in education) give themselves the gift of this learning.

EXECUTIVE HEADTEACHER, OTTERSHAW CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOLS
I recently participated in the Heart Health program and it truly transformed the way I connect with myself and consequently how I dealt with life personally and professionally. The coaching was exceptional, providing clear guidance and support as I navigated through the various techniques and exercises. As a result, I now feel a deeper sense of self-awareness and a greater connection to my inner emotions and thoughts.
The program has equipped me with valuable tools to manage stress and maintain a positive mindset, making a noticeable impact on my personal and professional life. I highly recommend the Heart Health program to anyone seeking to deepen their connection with themselves and improve their overall well-being.
