GNI MAG ISSUE 62 - PRIDE

ulster pride back in 2019 i wanted to help people and end suffering within the rural areas for my community LGBTQIA I’ve lost many friends to suicide and i was honestly fed up with putting my friends and family into the ground so i decided it was time to help and all of a sudden coc my initials was born.

I created 5 different scents Pomegranate, Orange, Lemongrass, Natural ease and Coconut, i loved the entire process and journey, it honestly saved my life. Researching and developing everything from aromatherapy, mixing up different scents to see what works, what i like, my clients like and dislike etc. It’s honestly been the most fun I’ve had in years, I love being creative, doing up the artwork and images really gives me something to get up in the mornings for.

This has been a passion project that’s now finally coming to fruition. I work alongside a few celebrities who have been a great help. I like to call them my business Angels, they help guide me in the right direction and I am truly humbled and grateful for this. I never take my life for granted, I am very blessed and very lucky. My blood, sweat and tears have gone into this project, overworking a lot, but I wouldn’t change it for the world or have it any other way.

Hi my name is Cathal Ocianian I am the Founder of COC-OFFICIAL.CO.UK, i have been a Holistic therapist since 2009 specialising in Swedish Massage and adding to my therapies ever since i offer a wide range of services from hot stone therapy to sports Massage and even thai to turkish i incorporate a lot of different techniques and draw inspiration from all over the world touch is extremely important within all our lives in helping us feel relaxed and rejuvenated.

I first started this journey years ago as my mother suffered from arthritis so I took it upon myself to get proactive and do something in order to help her. unfortunately mum took her own life on may 3rd 2011 and my whole world changed i put my life on hold and was honestly lost i had been going through my own struggles with a diagnosis that i couldn’t wrap my head around at the time and on top of that i was grieving my mother and to be honest still am. I got inspired again when i helped Co find the charity mid

I’m currently working on my own special formulation which is CBD infused oil with Myrrh, Clove (bud and Leaf) and Peppermint. This is specially formulated to my Postcode Only which means Nobody can replicate my formula north or south of Ireland, England Scotland or Wales, i am extremely proud of this achievement, It has taken me quite a few years to get it right,

We all know the health benefits CBD has to offer, I have a friend with stage 4 cancer at the moment and the new gold edition will be called 12 gods. She has inspired this new range. I just want to help her in her very short life and make things better even if it is for just 1 hour of deep tissue or light effleurage.

I am also currently working on a new charity which will be named after my mother, it will be called Veronicas Haven i want people to feel they have a safe space to go to and be themselves free from judgment, i plan to have health pods, jacuzzi facilities, shower rooms, healing circles and more add ons in the coming months.

My instagram business page which is simply @ cathalocianian has a payment link on it if you wish to purchase the oils and help support a small business a % of the money will go to charity which is Veronicas Haven, Mid Ulster Pride and also Suicide Prevention @pipsni i look forward to meeting you all and hope you can follow me on this journey.

Review/ Testimonial

Cathal dropped off a sample of the Pomegranate Massage Oil, I have been training in the gym and my legs have been so sore, I used the oil with my massage gun. It is so lovely , smells amazing and feels great on the skin. It definitely relieved the tension in my muscles and made my skin smooth and hydrated. Also another big pro for me is discovering there are only 3 ingredients. Will definitely continue using it and highly recommend it. Best of luck in the new venture - Daniel May, GNI Director
