Understanding stress. Supporting nervous system regulation. Strengthening wellbeing.
I’m Maria Brosnan, a health and wellbeing practitioner working with individuals and organisations in high-pressure environments.
Science-informed. Human-centred. Grounded in real life.
At the centre of this work
This work focuses on how the nervous system responds to pressure, demand and uncertainty, and how that response shapes health, wellbeing and performance.
Whether someone is a school leader, a student, or working in another demanding role, the underlying physiology of stress is the same. When we understand it, we can work with it rather than against it.
The Work
My work is practical, evidence-informed and grounded in real-world contexts. It typically involves:
- Understanding stress – how pressure, workload and uncertainty affect the nervous system
- Supporting regulation – practical ways to restore balance, clarity and capacity
- Embedding wellbeing – approaches that are sustainable, evidence-informed and realistic
This work takes place across education, leadership and other high-pressure professional environments.
About Me
Much of my professional background is rooted in education, but the work itself is sector-agnostic. It draws on nervous system science, research and lived experience, and is designed to be accessible and applicable in everyday professional life.
Pursuit Wellbeing
I’m the co-founder of Pursuit Wellbeing, where we offer science-led, practical tools and training focused on nervous system regulation, stress and sustainable wellbeing.
While much of our work is rooted in education, the principles and practices are relevant wherever people are working under pressure.
