About Us

SRB are the initials of Stephanie Rose Bird. Bird is the author of seven published nonfiction books including “Sticks, Stones, Roots and Bones,” and the more recently released “365 Days of Hoodoo.” Bird is a life-long educator, author, fine artist and healer.

A Botanica is a plant store with spiritual offerings, well-known in the LatinX and African diaspora cultures. SRB Botanica grows out of Stephanie Rose Bird’s work over several decades, as an herbalist and aromatherapist. It incorporates the pervasive healing energy of her internationally exhibited paintings, along with the energy from the rituals and recipes shared in the pages of her books. Olivia Bird brings a body-centered emphasis to SRB Botanica, through anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, soothing essential oils and analgesic herbs, in her unique multi-purpose herbals. 

SRB is built on the love of family. Olivia Bird a gifted young actress and stunt woman in many entertaining television shows and movies. Olivia Bird is also an avid herb gardener, herbalist, healer and nature-lover. Her Ashe is expressed in every aspect of SRB Botanica. In addition to being Stephanie’s partner, Olivia is a maker, product developer and, most importantly, Stephanie Rose Bird’s daughter.

The Bird’s take great pride in their multicultural and African ancestry. SRB Botanica carefully sources ingredients that hail from Africa and the diaspora as much as possible, in places like Haiti for example. The Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter, Abyssinian Oil, Argan (Moroccan) Oil, Frankincense and Myrrh are from the Motherland. While the base essential oil for many of the aromatherapy blends, Vetiver, comes from Haiti and Castor Oil is from Jamaica. The rest of the herbs and essential oils are responsibly sourced from across the globe. A special effort is made to feature USDA Certified Organic Base and Essential Oils.
