Step into who you truly are and live the life you’ve imagined.

Maria O'Hara

 

Welcome!

I'm Maria, a dedicated guide in the realms of psychology, mindfulness, and personal well-being.

My journey began years ago with a pursuit for inner peace, diving into meditation and yoga. However, it was the integration of psychological principles that deepened my understanding of the mind and its patterns. This fusion of mindfulness with psychology and yoga has become the cornerstone of my approach.

I've devoted years to studying and mastering these disciplines, enabling me to develop the MIBA method - a unique blend that enriches personal well-being by harnessing the transformative power of mindfulness, backed by psychological insights.

Join me on this enlightening journey and explore how mindfulness, infused with psychological wisdom, can unlock a deeper understanding of yourself and foster lasting change. Let's journey together on this path of self-discovery and growth!

 

My Story

For years, I found myself trapped in negative thinking patterns and behaviors that hindered my personal growth and held me back from living the life I desired and being the person I wanted to be.

As a trained psychologist, I delved into the study of human behavior and discovered the profound impact of stress and belief systems on our perception of the world.

Seeking a solution, I immersed myself in mindfulness practices, integrating them into every aspect of my life. The transformation I experienced was nothing short of remarkable—I became more aware of my thoughts and triggers, empowering me to choose my responses and live a more fulfilling life.

Inspired by this personal journey, I founded the MIBA method, a unique approach that combines psychology and scientifically-proven mindfulness techniques to enhance personal wellbeing.
