About Us:
Kirstie Gran is a mother of two young free spirits and specializes in family health & wellbeing through holistic, natural care, having studied various supportive and healing modalities including nutrition and digestive health, holistic health coaching, neurodevelopmental movement, antenatal belly dance, supporting mamas as a doula, Closing the Bones ceremony, Reiki and mindfulness. She has a specific interest in mama’s health pre -pregnancy, during pregnancy and post natal care, alongside children’s health and wellbeing.

Kirstie is passionate about self-empowerment for mama’s and families, so they can take control of their lives through understanding the root causes of the body’s messages, building confidence in natural healing and creating balance with the changes they would love to see in themselves and their family. Kirstie works with families to overcome health challenges using the principles of natural health, conscious living and lifestyle medicine.

Carla Atherton: "My purpose in both my work and life (which are inextricable) is to show people (clients, loved-ones, and community) that they are not broken or ill or without the power to make change in their health, but to empower them with the vision, guidance, and inspiration needed to overcome dis-ease of any kind–physical, mental, and emotional. I aim to lead with love and without judgment, with passion without fear, without telling people what they SHOULD do and showing them what they CAN do."
