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.
The focus
My focus is on how people respond to pressure, demand and uncertainty, and how the nervous system shapes those responses, influencing health, wellbeing and performance.
Whether someone is leading an organisation or working in another demanding professional role, the underlying physiology of stress is the same. When we understand it, it becomes possible to work with the nervous system rather than against it.
In practice
As a counsellor and coach, my approach is practical, evidence-informed and grounded in real-world contexts. It involves supporting people to understand stress, strengthen regulation in everyday situations, and develop ways of sustaining wellbeing over time that are realistic, accessible and meaningful.
Much of my professional background sits within the education sector, but the principles and practices I use are sector-agnostic and applicable wherever people are navigating sustained pressure.
Alongside this
I’m the co-founder of Pursuit Wellbeing, which I established together with Dr Carla Stanton. Through Pursuit, we offer science-led tools, resources and training focused on nervous system regulation, stress and sustainable wellbeing.
While much of this activity sits within education, the principles and practices are relevant across a wide range of professional environments.
Science-informed. Human-centred. Grounded in real life.
