Buail le Marian
Wellbeing Specialist | Breathwork Facilitator | Life & Executive Coach | Gaeilge & English
Fáilte. I'm Marian, founder of Thrive with Marian.
I support people who feel overwhelmed, stressed or disconnected from themselves to slow down, reconnect and create meaningful change through breathwork, coaching and nervous system support.
Whether you’re navigating the pressures of work, caring for others, moving through a life transition or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, I offer a safe, supportive space where you can pause, breathe and reconnect.
Based in Galway, I work with individuals, groups and organisations across Ireland, both in person and online.
My Approach
I believe meaningful change begins when we listen to both the mind and the body.
My work brings together coaching, trauma-informed Conscious Connected
Breathwork, movement, mindfulness and nervous system practices to support greater self-awareness, resilience and wellbeing.
Rather than simply managing stress, I help people understand what is happening in their body, build self-trust and reconnect with their own resources.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Every session is shaped around you, where you are and what you need.
My Journey
For over twenty years I worked in education, supporting adults in learning, development and personal growth.
Alongside this work, my own life taught me the importance of slowing down, reconnecting and caring for wellbeing in a deeper way.
Breathwork became a turning point, not because it removed life's challenges, but because it changed how I met them.
Experiencing its profound impact inspired me to train professionally so I could support others in finding greater calm, clarity and resilience.
Today, it is a privilege to witness people reconnect with themselves through the simple yet powerful act of breathing.

A Space to Pause, Breathe & Reconnect
Life can move quickly.
Sometimes we need a little space to step out of the doing, listen to what’s happening within us and come back to ourselves.
That’s what I aim to create through my work.
A space to pause. Breathe. Move. Reconnect.
And ultimately, to create more space for you to thrive.
