Centred Soul is the brain child of a Social Worker who wanted to marry conventional & alternative approaches to support women. Centred Soul started in 2011- back then it was just Rosemary, as a Complementary Therapist, taking on the feet of the world, one Reflexology treatment at a time! She was fed up with the role of Social Worker & wanted work to be something she really enjoyed. The support system in Northern Ireland, for women & families is minimal! In fact, NI only has one perinatal team in the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust & if you fall outside of that area, there is very little else. Thankfully new support networks, created by women who have experienced perinatal mental health are emerging, but there were no supports in the Newry & Mourne area, or Southern Health & Social Care Trust. Centred Soul has changed this. Centred Soul started as an idea & it has developed into a beautiful community of women, who supported me through tough times & now this continues for others. This isn't a space where you'll find them holding hands & singing kum-by-ya, but you'll find down-to-earth people, plenty of laughs, tears, expletives & it's guaranteed that genuine friendships are made. So, whether you come along to a monthly BTAPS (Birth Trauma & Perinatal Support) Meetup or call in for a cup of coffee, this space is for you.
