Meet Maria Brosnan
Welcome! I’m Maria Brosnan, an Educational Leadership, Health and Wellbeing Specialist, Counsellor, Author, and Coach.
Together with Dr. Carla Stanton, our mission is to empower Headteachers, leaders and teachers like you, to prioritise your health and wellbeing.
Through our platform, we offer research-based tools, resources, and training, designed especially for educators.
As a Headteacher, why is your health and wellbeing so important?
You might be here today because you feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or exhausted. Or you’re responsible for staff who are.
You’re not alone.
These are normal human responses to stress, but if left unchecked can harm your health and wellbeing.
Our research consistently shows that Heads who prioritise their health and wellbeing have higher job satisfaction, reduced burnout, improved mental health, and increased professional effectiveness.
This ultimately has a positive impact on your overall school community and student outcomes.
“The training from Pursuit Wellbeing has been transformational for our school and system leaders.
Improved wellbeing, reduced anxiety, and better impact in their respective roles have been reported across the board.”
Alex Russell, CEO, Bourne Education Trust

Our Flagship Programme:
Heart & Brain Health for Headteachers
Did you know that a staggering 89% of Headteachers experience chronic stress?
While Headteachers may know that stress negatively impacts their health, many don’t have evidence-based tools to address this efficiently or effectively.
That’s why we have developed the Heart & Brain Health for Headteachers programme, built on the understanding that chronic stress is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease.
It is designed to help you understand the impact of stress on you and to provide you with proven and practical methods that make measurable improvements to your health and wellbeing.
With this programme, we aim to help you:
- Reduce the symptoms of stress and anxiety that impact your daily life.
- Improve the health of your heart, promoting long-term wellbeing.
- Improve your performance, while working fewer hours.
- Enhance the quality of your sleep, fostering rejuvenation and vitality.
- Communicate more effectively, leading to improved relationships and collaboration.
- And much more, empowering you with a comprehensive toolkit for a sustainable career in leadership.
