About Oonagh
Hi, I’m Oonagh — a nurse since 2006, a midwife since 2010, and mum to three girls. Alongside my professional experience, I bring real-life understanding to the families I support through pregnancy and early parenthood.
I’ve been teaching antenatal classes in the Newry area since 2014, training initially as a Perinatal Educator with The Daisy Foundation before expanding into Baby Massage, Baby Yoga and Sensory classes. In 2017, I was honoured to receive Antenatal Teacher of the Year at the MAMA Awards in Scotland.
I later qualified as a Reflexologist in 2018 and as a Lactation Consultant in 2020, the gold standard in breastfeeding support.
I offer holistic antenatal classes and workshops in Newry, Dundalk and Rostrevor, along with one-to-one and postnatal support in your own home. It’s a privilege to be part of such a special journey.
Antenatal Classes
A weekly class for women only, running over 4 weeks, designed to help you feel informed, confident and prepared for labour and birth.
Each session lasts approximately 2 hours, allowing plenty of time for discussion and questions.
Throughout the course we cover:
• Breathing techniques for early labour
• Breathing for active labour
• Breathing techniques for birthing your baby
We also explore the incredible work of the uterus during labour and how you can support your body through each stage of the process. We discuss the journey of the cervix and practical ways to help optimise and support its natural progression throughout labour.
This course is designed to help you understand what is happening in your body and give you tools to approach birth feeling calm, prepared and empowered.
Reflexology
Oonagh has always been fascinated about the benefits of reflexology. Oonagh attended reflexology regularly throughout her life and was so passionate about it she trained alongside her husband in 2018. Oonagh has continued her professional development by adding to her Diploma of General Reflexology with Courses in Advanced Reflexology, Pregnancy, Fertility & most recently Menopause with more courses coming later this year.
The Benefits of Reflexology are well documented with Reduction in Stress and Rebalancing the body. Oonagh believes that everyone can benefit from a reflexology treatment at any stage throughout their life. As a mum of 3 girls Oonagh is also passionate about helping Babies & Children through reflexology.
