Stefanie grew up in northern British Columbia, surrounded by nature. In her early 20’s she began her journey into the pre/postnatal world, working as a doula, a midwife, and then pausing to raise her own four children. 

While raising her children she started Mangata Apothecary- a brand of herbal products safe for families.

In 2024 she extended her business into Lactation and Herbalism consults, with a focus on fertility, perinatal and young families.
