Essential Oils for Maternal Wellness© e-Course

I'm Stephanie McBride, the Founder of Daily Nectar.

It is my passion to educate birth professionals, moms-to-be, and wellness advocates about safe and effective essential oil usage, particularly during conception, pregnancy, labor, postpartum and infancy.

For more than 25 years I have dedicated myself to the study of herbalism and natural health - on three continents, in the field, and in postgraduate classrooms. During the last decade I have been an educator and consultant for the use of pure, high-quality essential oils from the moment of conception forward as a form of natural self-care and in Clinical Practice.

I am trained and certified as a Clinical Herbalist, Functional Nutritionist and Aromatherapist with extensive experience providing nutritional and natural health support for pregnant women.    I am a   published author in multiple languages and an international professional speaker for Universities, Wellness Events, and Midwifery Conferences. To date I have presented on this topic in the United States, Norway, UK, Ireland, Romania, Portugal, and Germany.

I live between my beautiful hometown of Portland Oregon, where I raise my three teenagers, and the west of Ireland, which is my European base.
