In this heartfelt episode of Giving Grief Grace, wellness coach and yoga teacher Maria McKeon shares her powerful journey of transformation through grief, healing, and service. Maria opens up about the experiences that shaped her path—from founding a healing sanctuary for women with cancer to embracing holistic wellness as a way of life.

Rooted in mindfulness, movement, and deep compassion, Maria’s approach to grief is both practical and profound. She invites us to consider how connection, presence, and purpose can offer a path through pain—and how we might learn to heal our bodies and spirits in tandem.

Whether you’re a caregiver, grieving a loss, or simply navigating a season of change, Maria’s wisdom is a gentle, empowering reminder: healing begins within.
