About Oonagh
My name is Oonagh and I’m married to Gerald who works in Mortgages and Insurance, together we have 3 girls so as you can imagine I have a wealth of experience to help and support you through your pregnancy journey. I’m very passionate about providing a holistic approach to families, through my ante-natal classes and workshops in Newry and Dundalk.
I qualified as a nurse in 2006 & as a midwife in 2010 so not only do I have my own personal experiences to draw on, but my professional experience as well. I have been teaching antenatal classes in the Newry area since 2014, initially training as a perinatal educator with the Daisy Foundation and then following on with Baby massage & Baby yoga / Sensory classes. In 2017 I won antenatal teacher of the year at the MAMA Awards in Scotland which was a massive achievement and one I am so proud of.
I qualified as a reflexologist in 2018 & as a Lactation Consultant in 2020 - deemed to be the gold standard in breastfeeding support.
I am so excited to share in your journey and support you in a group or 1-2-1 setting. I offer ante-natal classes and workshops in both Newry and Dundalk. You will find details for both Newry and Dundalk venues on the antenatal classes booking page.
Antenatal Classes
A weekly class for women only which runs over the course of 4 weeks. Each class lasts 2 hours depending on questions.
We cover breathing for early labour, breathing for active labour and Breathing for birthing your baby. We delve into the work of the uterus and how we can support this Journey, the Journey of the cervix and how we can optimise this during your labour.
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.
