Welcome to Mary Bradley Wellbeing
Where mindfulness and meditation are more than just practices – they're pathways to transformation. I believe in crafting workshops tailored to the specific needs of each school or organisation, fostering an environment of growth and wellbeing that extends far beyond the session itself. Specialising in workshops for schools, my aim is to equip students with the essential tools to navigate the fast-paced and ever-evolving challenges they encounter daily.
Empower students to overcome exam anxiety, enhance study skills, and nurture well-being. For teachers, find balance and stress relief with tailored mindfulness sessions.
Let go of responsibilities and worries as you immerse yourself in peace and calm through breathwork and meditation.
Work with me to empower your employees and to let them know that their wellbeing is a priority in your organisation.
Mindfulness at your fingertips: Online or in-person sessions tailored for organisations, community groups, and gatherings

Exam Anxiety Workshop
Supporting Your Students in Reaching their Full Potential
Overcome Anxiety
Your students will learn the causes and impacts of exam anxiety. They will understand how anxiety affects their thoughts, behaviors and body in the run up to exams and leave with strategies to confidently manage these challenges. This workshop was developed with Dr Alison Mc Fadden, Child and Educational Psychologist whose thesis explored strategies for overcoming exam anxiety.
Overall Wellbeing
This workshop teaches students how to mind their overall wellbeing. We will look at healthy sleep routines, mindfulness and managing unhelpful thinking habits. These are skills that will stand to them during exam time but also throughout life.
Study and Test Taking Skills
Studies found that 63% of Irish students felt anxious about exams despite being well prepared. This workshop teaches study and exam taking skills that will ensure students approach their exams feeling focused, prepared and with a positive mindset. We will also address perfectionism and procrastination which are often barriers to effective study.
Additional Resources
Students will receive downloadable audios such as guided sleep meditations, breathing exercises and stress reducing mindfulness practices. They will also receive a downloadable workbook to support them in maintaining positive wellbeing as exams approach.

Mindfulness Meditation for Students
Empowering students with the tools to unwind and conquer stress.
Relax
Teenagers live incredibly busy lives. Their days are filled to the brim with academic demands, social interaction, extra curricular and screen time. Even when they are relaxing they are still busy. This session allows teenagers to disengage entirely, tuning into their bodies and tuning out of the mind.
The Benefits
Meditation allows teenagers to become entirely present in the moment, leaving behind all stresses and worries. The skill of being able to focus on the present moment has many benefits such as improved memory and concentration, better quality sleep and more compassion in dealing with others.
Tailored for Teenagers
After 10 years teaching in a secondary school I am familiar with the unique needs and wants of teenagers. I am also accustomed to the challenges that may arise in teaching mindfulness to teenagers and have some tried and tested strategies up my sleeve!
Additional Resources
Students will have access to a wide variety of downloadable meditations to support in their mindfulness journey such as; guided sleep meditation, self-confidence meditations and gratitude meditations.

The Busy Lives of Primary School Students

Even their relaxation time is often filled with screen time and other engaging activities. This session helps primary school students to completely unwind, connecting with their bodies and taking a break from constant mental stimulation.
The Benefits
Meditation helps primary school students become fully present in the moment, learning to cope with the stresses and worries of life. This skill of focusing on the present moment offers numerous benefits, including improved memory and concentration, better sleep quality, and enhanced compassion in interactions with others.
Specifically Designed for Primary Schools
With over 10 years of experience in an educational setting and a diploma in mindfulness for children, I understand the unique needs and preferences of young children.
