About Maria

Meet Maria: Co-Founder, Connector, Storyteller

Maria Healey is the heart behind Cozy Girls Getaways – a natural connector, storyteller, and champion of quiet joy. With a background in SEO and content marketing, Maria has spent years helping female founders get found online. But her true passion lies in creating spaces where women can unplug, unwind, and reconnect – with themselves and each other.

A lifelong introvert and avid reader, Maria knows the magic of a well-timed retreat. She co-founded Cozy Girls Getaways to offer bookish escapes that blend solitude with sisterhood, comfort with curiosity. Whether it’s a cabin in the woods or a cottage by the sea, Maria curates each getaway to be a sanctuary for rest, reflection, and a good read.

When she’s not planning the next cozy escape, you can find Maria sharing what she’s learned on mariahealey.com, connecting fellow creatives on LinkedIn, or capturing moments of everyday magic on Instagram @mariahealeywrites.

Join Maria and the Cozy Girls community for a getaway that feels like home…but with the scent of candles and cookies rather than your mom’s tuna noodle casserole.
