Maria Schmidt

Sea - Air -Fire and Life


Two years have passed since last I saw Maria Schmidt, and, in these last fast twenty-four months, very much has changed in the life of this lover of nature and green. Two years ago she was living in the middle of a built up concrete jungle in the middle of Vienna; she was practising Shiatsu and being bio amongst the nature of man in great numbers. Now she is in the green!

Her new life in the green is herself; but without last summer, it still – maybe – wouldn’t be quite what it should be, for this year, Maria went down to the sea!

Maria has always had an affinity with the oceans and all that live in them; and her summer on Hawaii brought her into contact with the ones she loves most, the dolphins!


By day she swam in the ocean; accompanied, not only by the dolphins, but also the turtles as well. Her dream, it seems, had also been her destiny. And, as if that wasn’t enough, her nights were full of the magical natural show of an erupting volcano. Sea, air, fire and life in one tremendous greatness!

Upon her return to Vienna, her new house in the green more or less presented itself to her, and now, she is happily continuing her life in the place that found her!

“Continuing” is a good word. Two things have happily remained the same, She still practises her Shiatsu, and she still bakes her bio Christmas cookies (Weinachtsbäckerei).

Perchtoldsdorf, the village where she lives, isn’t far from Vienna, and if you are interested in Shiatsu or really delicious Weinachtsbäckerei (Christmas cookies) give her a call. Much has changed, even the impossible, her baking has become better!
