Our founder’s story

Seasons Coffee + Studio was started by Founder, Rosemary Deans in 2017.

Rosemary worked as a Social Worker up to 2017, when she experienced perinatal mental illness and birth trauma with her first pregnancy and birth.

Being unable to return to work as a result, Rosemary sought out other women who also felt isolated, due to lack of local support.

In June 2017, the first group of like minded women met in a local cafe, to have a genuine conversation about the challenges of being a new parent, with no judgement and the rest is history!

The first gathering of many was born and they've been going ever since!

What began as a journey of recovery, retraining, campaigning for better perinatal mental health services in NI and the creation of what was first called ‘Centred Soul’ — a Newry based social enterprise, has since evolved into a space for connecting with others, whatever season of life you are in.

Seasons is a public coffee house + studio for everyone AND one with a specific passion for encouraging women to amplify their voices, to take up space in society and not to apologise for it!

Seasons can be BOTH.

We are female founded, with a full staff team of women.

Seasons hosts a coffee house, an accessible yoga studio, with two adjoining therapy rooms, providing practical and affordable talk therapy, complementary therapy, classes, events and bloody great coffee!

We support other businesses, charities and voluntary organisations through collaboration, hosting events and selling their product in store.

It is not only a bricks and mortar building, but a community, a place to belong.

The Team’s Goal:

Remind women of their worth

You are not defined by your roles. You are not solely a mother, a child free woman, a boss, a manager, a sister, a daughter. You are not less than. You are enough, good enough, part of something meaningful, a bloody Goddess!

You deserve to have access to services, support, laughter, friendships, a community that respects the ebbs and flow of the seasons in a woman's life.
