Marie O'Mahony

Marie teaches mindfulness to a number of charity organisations in Cork. She has worked as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist in private practice since 2011, and for Cork ARC Cancer Support House since 2014, where she has also taught mindfulness since 2020, which includes: regular six-week Introduction to Mindfulness program; guidance of the weekly online drop-in Hour 0f Calm and, until Jan 2023, the weekly online Unwind in the Evening. She teaches in person and online 8-week MBSR / MBCT programs and low cost in person Introduction to Mindfulness. She runs regular one day retreats.
Marie was first drawn to mindfulness because of the evidence based, science backed approach. She believes that it has enhanced her one-to-one work with her clients. Working with people and witnessing the difference that mindfulness can make maintains her commitment to continuing her own education in the area of mindfulness and to continue to provide the 6 and 8-week programs.
She compliments and deepens her personal practice through attendance at annual retreats and regular mindfulness related courses. She has completed trainings with many teachers including Gerry Cunningham, Trish Bartley, Christina Shennan, Christopher Germer. She is part of a BAMBA Special Interest Group, MBCT-Cancer, which has an international attendance.
Marie has provided trainings to her peers on the Development of Mindfulness-Based Approaches.
