Welcome, and thank you for visiting Notes from a GP.
I’m Maria, a GP, teacher and one of the founders of a private medical practice. Throughout my career, I’ve been privileged to care for patients and families through many of life’s most important moments.
I’ve always loved writing, especially poetry, but like many people, life became busy. Between family, work and caring responsibilities, writing gradually slipped into the background. For a long time, I wasn’t sure I had anything to say that others would want to read.
Recently, after creating a little more space in my life, I decided to start writing again.
This blog brings together two things that matter deeply to me: helping people understand their health and reflecting on the experiences that shape us. Here you’ll find practical health advice, thoughts on wellbeing and lifestyle medicine, reflections on family life, caring, resilience and the importance of human connection.
Whether you’re here for health information, personal reflections or simply because a particular article resonated with you, I’m delighted you’ve stopped by.
Thank you for reading.
Maria
