Baptisms
Funerals/memorial services
Same sex marriages
I perform Christian baptisms/christenings at the location of your choice - backyards, parks, halls, living rooms, chapels. I believe it is the parents' responsibility to bring up the child with love. They are the child's first role models. Every person needs to feel loved. Every person needs to feel secure. Every person needs to feel they have a purpose for their life. I will baptize more than one child at a service. I also baptize adults.
When the going gets tough, it is often a strong faith that keep the tough going! Part of my philosophy of life is that there really are no answers right now to those tough, tough questions, only faith....
And I accept that not everyone has that same philosophy as me. It's all good...
approx fee $85. Fee also depends on travel.

I gladly perform weddings on short notice if I am available. I perform ceremonies any day of the week. Give me a call! My fee for a Monday - Thursday ceremony is usually less because usually there is not as much involved in creating the ceremony and, of course, it is not at peak time. Decisions need to be made quickly for a short-notice wedding. Usually there is no meeting and no rehearsal. Some weddings don't need elaborate planning. The above wedding was a small, intimate, lower budget wedding held in a side dining room of a restaurant in January 2018. The lady in red was actually in hospice and a few weeks earlier had been given about a month to live. Her wish was to see her son marry his long-time girlfriend. The bride and groom were ready to get married anyways and put their wedding together in 2-3 weeks. The bride bought her dress off the rack and it fit! I was available that Saturday, and performed their customized ceremony. So sad to say, the groom's mother passed away 17 days later. She had a very aggressive form of brain cancer.
Young Living Essential Oils

Essential oils have enhanced lives for thousands of years offering a variety of benefits from cosmetic and dietary
to spiritual and religious use. Young Living has always been at the forefront of bringing this ancient tradition to modern
users, introducing millions to emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness that can be truly life-changing.
Extracted through careful steam distillation, resin tapping, and cold pressing, the purest essential oils are more
powerful than the botanicals from which they come. Any time you hold a bottle of Young Living’s powerful essential oils,
you hold nature’s pure essence.
You can access the power of essential oils many ways, but the most
common practices include aromatic diffusion, topical application,
and dietary consumption. These methods bring the pure essence of
health-promoting botanicals to your home, family and life. Contact me below.
About Reverend Jane Stewart
Let me create and perform a beautiful and meaningful ceremony for you for any occasion
Since my ordination in 1999, I have worked with several hundred happy and wonderful couples! I perform customized wedding ceremonies, vow renewal ceremonies and anniversary blessings, Christian baptisms, memorial services, home blessings, and guided meditations in a variety of locations. I am delighted to provide suggestions and coordinate all the ideas and details from start to finish for your special ceremony which reflects your personality and will be enjoyed by your guests. For almost 19 years I performed these services in southeastern Wisconsin. Now I have the good fortune to serve southern California, mostly in Riverside County. Sometimes my ministry has been full-time, often it has been part-time. This website is a new website for me since my old website was created for my Wisconsin clients. In 2018 my daughter and son-in-law and my two adorable grandsons relocated to Menifee, CA to purchase a dental practice. They are now proud owners of Oak Valley Dental in Menifee, CA. (Dentistry was also a big part of my life from 1981 - 1999.) I decided to relocate from Wisconsin to California with my live-in mother to be close to my daughter and her family. Sadly, my mother passed away in 2019.
Sometimes when I tell people I am a self-employed, independent, interfaith minister, all they see me as is a minister. I like to think of myself as more than an officiant, or an ordained minister, or a celebrant - use whatever term you would like. I am also a mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, caregiver, and friend. I believe I am also more than those roles too! I have done many different jobs and have an entrepreneurial spirit. With this website I will also be sharing about some wonderful products I have used through the years. I was first introduced to Young Living essential oils in 1999. I thought the oils were "interesting," but now I use the oils on a daily basis for my own well-being. I would love to share my experience with Young Living essential oils and knowledge of aromatherapy with you.
I am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee with a major in political science. I am also a graduate of Pathways of Light Spiritual College and Milwaukee School of Massage. I am a Reiki Master and had my own practice as a licensed massage therapist in Wisconsin. I have taken extensive continuing education courses in oral and written communication, human resources, business management, personal development and different healing modalities. And I love public libraries!
I grew up with the saying, "health is wealth." I heard recently that being healthy is the new marker for success. Oh gosh, what a concept! LOL My interest has always been in prevention and wellness. Besides good nutrition, exercise and sleep, I believe faith and hope are big components to keeping a healthy mindset about life and the purpose for your life. A healthy mind helps us to make good choices to keep us physically healthy.
I was also introduced to meditation way back in 1974! Yes, I am that old.... It started me on the path I am still on today.
If there is a term that many people use to describe me, it is "down-to-earth."
I also enjoy driving. Have wheels, will travel! But, I will be happy to fly to Hawaii to perform a ceremony if you pay my way!! LOL
