For 43 years she was a well respected teacher in Killarney Community College but not one to completely retire - Marcia Kissane has set up a new business.

Marcia, who retied in June, taught thousands over the four decades and is now ready to offer support and encouragement to any individual seeking emotional well-being at her new practice in Killarney.

She has trained as a Co-Creational Parent and Relationship Mentor over the past number of years and is now offering one to one, caring, supportive relationship mentoring.

"I believe that we live in a relationship world; relationship with mother, father, daughter, son, partner, friend, brother, sister, boss, co-worker, team-mate, neighbour, shop assistant etc. Relationship is the medium of human living," she said.

"The most important relationship in all our lives is the relationship with ourselves. Being unconditionally loving, compassionate and caring of ourselves is the foundation of our well-being. A crisis offers the opportunity to examine and understand the life we are living. Frequently we need support. It is an incredible privilege to offer and provide such support to adults who need to discuss and reflect on any challenges they are experiencing."

Marcia can be contacted by text or a call on WhatsApp on 087 9584060 or by email at marciak09@hotmail.com.
