Rochana Moon

Rochana Moon is the Founder and Director of Wise Moon Wellness.

Born in Aotearoa, New Zealand she grew up with a deep connection to the natural world, particularly plants.

At age 28 Rochana developed an autoimmune condition leading her on a profound healing journey. When western allopathic medicine could help no more, it was the plants that healed her.

This process led Rochana on to formal studies, eventually completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Natural Medicine, a Diploma of Herbal Medicine and a Diploma of Horticulture.

Over her years of clinical and community work, Rochana has developed a passion for empowering others to reclaim their relationship with plant medicine. Knowing that our potential for truly holistic wellbeing is available through those connections.

Rochana is a local herbalist, naturopath and forager. Her business Wise Moon Wellness provides earth-connected medicine with a focus on teaching people how to develop a relationship with plants and nature.

Rochana offers Naturopathic Consultations, Garden, Lifestyle or Nature Consulations and runs regular hands on medicine making workshops where you can learn about some of the abundance of wild and cultivated plant medicine available in the Wanaka area, and how to turn them into simple yet effective remedies to keep yourself and your family healthy.

She also sells herbal products, including locally made herbal skincare and remedies.

Rochana will be holding a stall at the Festival of Nature, and running a plant foraging workshop.
