 About Maeve

Maeve Tonge is a meditation teacher and certified Forest Bathing guide based in the West of Ireland, offering heart-based, authentic wellbeing sessions shaped by years of personal development, self-inquiry and training.

For over 25 years, Maeve worked as a medical social worker in acute healthcare, supporting families and individuals through some of life's most difficult moments. That experience gave her a deep appreciation for the daily practices that build real, lasting wellness — in mind, body and spirit.

A lifelong nature lover, Maeve became a certified meditation teacher with Davidji in 2021 and went on to train as a Forest Bathing guide, weaving mindful time in nature into much of her work. She also draws on her own love of art, hill walking, sea swimming and yoga to stay grounded and inspired.

Today, Maeve offers a weekly meditation class, wellbeing workshops, and forest bathing sessions in the local woodlands, as well as bespoke sessions for hospital staff, and corporate and charitable organisations including Saolta Arts and the National Women and Children's Physiotherapy Annual Conference. She has also collaborated with blue mind specialist Aisling Lynch on the "Green Meets Blue" wellbeing sessions in Salthill, Co. Galway.

Maeve lives in the West of Ireland with her husband, Rory, and their two teenage daughters, and feels most herself with fresh air in her lungs and her feet on the ground.
