Welcome to Jade Moon Herbs!

What Can I Do for You?

As an herbalist and doula, I provide education, herbal and consultative services to women throughout the birth process. The birth process starts before conception and continues into pregnancy and child rearing. My aim is to help women begin preparing their mind, body, and spirit for birth and the years to come as a healthy and balanced mother.

What are My Views?

A woman's body and emotions undergo enormous change and to allow it with a relaxed and educated mind can make the journey a miraculous one. Partners and family are not only onlookers to this change, but an integral part. They will experience emotional shifts as well that are subtle and often overlooked in our culture.

I hope to join these internal and external shifts and bring together family and support teams for mother-to-be. Education and continuous support regarding nutrition, exercise, and herbal supplementation can ease many transitions to parenthood and child rearing.

What I Love:

Creating herbal remedies and products for children and adults! This journey has led me to understand the importance of balance and awareness when guiding people to their optimum state of health.

Every person has unique characteristics that contribute to personality, constitution, and balance. I love helping you to identify and address imbalances in emotions or the physical body. Through this process you can feel increased joy, a more comfortable pregnancy, and a more satisifying birth experience.

I hope to guide each individual at their chosen pace, and identify, with them, a specific and manageable set of goals that can be followed and adjusted throughout the length of their journey.

What is My Background?

I have completed over 500 hours of classroom herbal studies, with 2 years of herbal preparation, wildcrafting and distribution of herbal medicine. I have studied with Susun Weed and The Wildflower School of Botanical Medicine as well as many years of self study of herbs, Macrobiotics and food as medicine. I continue to work closely with the Wildflower School as the Apothecary Manager and Guest Teacher. Please visit the school's site for more upcoming classes and herbal education.

"More practical knowledge of birth and herbs comes from my experience in the birth of my daughter Kira Shan.  Kira was born April 2006 at home assisted only by mama Stephanie, daddy Joe and the universal energy. 

Together we labored for 9 1/2 hours and joyfully welcomed Kira at 4:30 a.m. Not only did I gain tremendous self confidence and self knowledge, I learned how to give and take, and listen to my partners. I prepared throughout pregnancy with the support of many herbs and many friends.  Ultimately birth is what you make it, and the molding can start when ever you decide."

I am a graduate of Vidaluna Doula Certification Program and is attending home births, hospital birth or birth in a setting of your choice.  She is also completing the Women's Herbal Educator course to further her knowledge of woman's health and herbal healing.

I have worked for 6 years as an educational aid to children with Autism.  During this time I have studied and used the Soma® Rapid Prompting Method as teacher and friend in the Autistic community.
