Women, Wellbeing & Awareness With Mary Woolley

Mary is an Ayurvedic Consultant and yoga teacher specialising in supporting women in navigating life's transition and creating the life they want to lead.

It was in Mary's early 40’s that she first realised that there was more to life than just ‘doing’ it. Reaching a crisis point in her life at that time led her to Yoga and Ayurveda, and 15 years later these 2 sister sciences have redesigned her and her life in a way she never could have even imagined.

When it all began, Mary was working as a Human Resource Director in major teaching hospitals. Now, after 15 years of personal practice and 11 years of study she is Newcastle’s most experienced and well known Ayurvedic practitioner. She has studied Ayurveda with both Western and Indian teachers in India, America and Australia, and along the way has also completed a 2 year (1600 hrs) Diploma in Satyananda Yoga.

On her journey Mary has also encountered many aspects of what this life has to offer as a woman: a mother, grandmother, a long-term marriage ending in divorce, working while balancing study and family; menopause; caring for elderly parents; and a sea change / spiritual awakening that saw her change her career and nearly everything else in her life…not once but twice!

Mary’s approach to working with women is very practical and compassionate. Her aim is to share what she has learnt through her own life journey, plus the wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga, in a way that inspires and empowers them to discover their own power to create a life that is meaningful and happy.
