More about Majella…
Majella grew up in Kilnamartyr County Cork on a dairy farm. From an early age, she enjoyed walking in the fields getting to know the plants and the nooks and crannies, making little potions from the herbs in her mother’s garden. She completed her massage and aromatherapy training in 2006 and added on training in Reflexology, Reiki, Indian Head massage and Hot Stone massage.
She went on a herb walk in Macroom in 2009 with Nikki Darrell and decided to do the introductory course and followed this with the Herbal Apprenticeship which she completed in 2013 and went on to participate in the Clinical training which she completed in 2016. Since 2014 she has been assisting with the introductory courses and Herbal Apprenticeship and is now a mentor on the Blended learning stream Apprenticeship.
Majella is also one of the tutors on our Aromatherapy and massage courses. She also runs a busy practice, incorporating all her skills. She holds workshops on kitchen medicine, cooking with herbs and herbal skincare. Her passion for good healthy affordable food has been a great asset as she has helped with the development of the recipes in the Wild Kitchen cookbook.
The birth of her baby Willow in January 2018 has sparked a great interest in helping other parents to know about healthy food, herbal medicines and aromatherapy blends to keep their children well. Another passion is taking photographs of the plants, finding it a great way to connect with them. Majella is involved with the Cork Herb Bike and has helped out with the Herbfeast and Regenerative Plant Medicine Gatherings.
