About this Retreat
Your Guides

For 13 years, MaryAnn has held different senior leadership marketing roles in a Fortune 500 company.
In 2010 she founded and successfully ran her own consulting company in Hong Kong focused on transformational change for leaders in Multinational Corporations through executive coaching, bespoke human centric leadership programs, mindfulness training and resilience.
Her client list includes Marriott, Schindler, Fidelity, Accenture, Microsoft, Citi and PVH among others.
Since 2017 she teaches mindfulness and compassionate practices for leaders to connect to their purpose and develop a human centric leadership style that focuses on personal and team wellbeing in order to achieve sustainable results.
In 2019 she moved to Portugal to create a land and people regeneration retreat center, Quinta Marugo, with the mission of bringing more peace, clarity and connection and therefore results, in the corporate world.
She is a certified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness Based Compassionate Living (MBCL), QiGong supervisor, executive coach and Transformational Breath coach.
Mary Ann under a tree, Quinta Marugo's retreat leader
She strongly believes leaders need to find time for deep pauses to retreat so they can reconnect with what is important for them, stop and get off the the busy being busy hamster wheel they are on (often times without realizing it). This way they can feel regenerated and reenergised to return to their roles as inspiring beacons with a purpose driven mindset and focus on wellbeing.
