Welcome to Cnoc Na Rí ~ Art, Wellness & Spiritual Centre.

A note from the Founder.

“Hi, my name is Orlaígh (Or-la) and I am the creator and founder of Cnoc Na Rí. I have been on this journey of personal growth, spiritual accession and inner exploration for over 15 years. As a child I was always drawn to this energy and that draw never left me. As I reached my late 20’s I began really listening to my calling and started working with Angel Cards and working with Energy. I have studies Ancient Celtic studies at NUI Maynooth, Co Kildare, Ireland. I have also completed two certificate course in Integrative and Holistic Psychotherapy. In my current training I have completed my Functional Breathwork Facilitation Certificate, my Trauma Informed Coaching Certificate and I am currently completing my training as a Trauma-Informed Somatic Breathwork Practitioner.

I am also, a mum to four amazing children, a survivor of Domestic Violence and Abuse. Motherhood and the journey of a women is a deep passion of mine and I am a powerful advocate for women and survivors of abuse.I have shared my story publicly and in Women’s groups and support group for many years now, inspiring other women to begin their journey to personal sovereignty and inner and outer freedom from abuse and the legacy abuse leaves.

In my spare time I am a exhibiting artist, an avid running, I just completed my first Half Marathon in Aug ‘26, and I am a keen equestrian with a deep love and respect for horses, nature and the outdoors. My journey of healing as be complex, profound and transformative and I get to arrive where I am now, building the vision of Cnoc Na Rí into a reality. This is a honour and a blessing.

Cnoc Na Rí, Gaelic for ‘Hill of the King’. This name came to me long before I set up the business, it rattled around in my head much like a song does that you simply can’t forget. I knew its meaning, I loved that it connected to my home, and the place where I lived, Cloughree, another Gaelic name for Stone of the King. It was only recently that I did some historical research to discover that this name goes back centuries. The local townland name after this exact name. A place where ancient druids and celts and kings walked. I am living and creating a Centre of Celtic Spirituality in the shadow of the Ancient Irish before me. Chills!

That brings me to what Cnoc Na Rí is. Cnoc Na Rí is a Centre for Druidic and Celtic Spirituality, Energetic Healing and deep transformative Somatic & Embodied Growth. A place where ancient practices meet modern science and understanding. A fusion of the old and the new. A path that combines both Trauma-Informed and Somatic Breathwork approaches with Ancient Energetic Healing and Clearing. It is my goal to bring somatic, energetic and scientific healing into holistic union as a new form of real and profound support and change to all my clients.

I come from lineage of Irish Faith Healers; my genealogy ties me to the lands of Ireland and Scotland for the past eight generations. I grew up in the Boyne Valley, Co Meath, Ireland. Visiting the ancient sites of Tara Na Rí, Brú Na Bóinne & Loughcrew on Sunday afternoons, with my family. I remember tracing the triple-spiral and double-spiral carvings on the Entrance Stone of the Newgrange Monument with my little finger, when I was no more then 5 years old. I now live on the through-line from Rathcroghan to Úisneach to Brú Na Bóinne and Loughcrew. I spend my days wandering through the Corlea Bog, home to the Ancient Corlea Trackway. My life and my guides have kept me steeped in this beautiful, ancient, Gaelic energy. I have spent almost a decade learning, studying and understanding the stories, myths and ways of the Ancient Irish ancestors, the Tuatha Dé Danann and I am now weaving all of this knowledge and energy into my practice.

Welcome to my website, to my practice and to your journey home to yourself.
