About Me & Traditional Wisdom
My name is Kirrah Stewart and I offer holistic antenatal classes, Birthing From Within workshops, pregnancy massage, placenta encapsulation, doula services and Australian made bengkung belly binds.
Pregnant women (and their partners) often find it difficult to sift through all the information out there. I help them understand their options so they can feel more relaxed and positive in their pregnancy and really look forward to birthing and becoming a parent.

I believe...
I believe that pregnancy and birth can be the most amazing and beautiful experience of a woman's life. It is a huge time of transition and evolution and I believe that the more supported a woman feels, the easier this journey is.
The journey is more pleasant when a woman has taken time to become educated about birth but she also knows how to trust her intuition. We remember our births for the rest of our lives and the experience effects the way we feel about ourselves and the way we parent.

How it all began...
Since primary school I knew I wanted to 'help people'. Back then, I wasn't sure exactly what this meant.
When I was 18, I started studying complementary medicine at university and became confident in nature's healing ability and also in the power of individuals to take responsibility for their health.
In 2007 I had the privilege of witnessing my friend give birth to her daughter in her home. I saw the therapeutic benefits of natural therapies and the strength and beauty of a woman in her element. This experience propelled me on a journey to learn all I could about birth.
I became a doula in 2008 and two years later was honoured to be initiated into the Birthing From Within philosophy by Pam England when she visited Australia in 2010. This changed my life forever. I now knew how I could help women prepare for the profound rite of passage of giving birth.
In 2013, I felt honoured to learn the art and science of placenta encapsulation. I know this amazing service can help ease the incredible transition to motherhood.
