Siobhan Maher

Siobhán Maher is an Irish photopoet, photographer, complementary therapist, and Doctor of Food Science whose work brings together nature, healing, and mindful awareness. Raised on Montpelier Hill in Dublin, she spent her childhood roaming forest paths, riding horses, and writing her first poems beneath the trees that shaped her lifelong connection with the natural world.

Despite dyslexia and years of unexplained health challenges, Siobhán pursued science with determination, earning a Higher National Diploma and degree from Aberystwyth University, a Master’s degree from the University of Aberdeen, and a PhD in Food Science and Technology from University College Cork in 2004. Her scientific career included research, product development, and technical work within the food manufacturing industry.

Living with fibromyalgia eventually led her beyond the laboratory and into a deeper exploration of healing. Through kinesiology, meditation, mindfulness, and breathwork, she discovered practical ways to live well with pain while restoring balance and resilience.

Today her work brings together photography, poetry, and contemplative practice. Through her photopoetry and books on mindful living, Siobhán invites readers to slow down, reconnect with nature, and rediscover the steadying power of breath and awareness.
