Originally from Albacete, Spain, Maria always knew that teaching was her calling.

She completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education in 2018, and afterward she moved to the south of Spain to study yoga and meditation for two years.

Seeking to share her knowledge and being inspired by nature, she moved to Ireland in 2021, where she has been teaching different age groups in creches.
