Services
Life is filled with moments that deserve to be honoured—welcoming a new baby, renewing your wedding vows, celebrating a commitment, or saying goodbye to a loved one. These milestones shape who we are and how we move through the world.
As a celebrant, I’m here to help you mark those moments with warmth, meaning, and love.
Celebrations of Life
Honouring a Life with Meaning
When someone we love passes away, it can feel overwhelming to plan a farewell that truly reflects who they were. At a time when emotions run deep, creating a ceremony that celebrates a unique life—rather than just marking a loss—can be both healing and profoundly meaningful.
That’s where I come in.
As a funeral celebrant, my role is to help families craft a service that is personal, heartfelt, and entirely centered on the life and spirit of their loved one. Unlike traditional religious ceremonies, a celebrant-led service is not bound by specific doctrines or rituals. Instead, it's built around the person being remembered—who they were, what they loved, and the legacy they leave behind.
A Personal Approach to Every Life Story
No two lives are the same, and no two services should be either.
When I meet with a family, I take the time to listen. I ask about your loved one’s personality, their passions, the memories that make you smile—even the quirks that made them who they were. From these conversations, I craft a ceremony that weaves together storytelling, music, readings, and moments of reflection that feel authentic and comforting.
Whether it’s a formal chapel service, a garden gathering, or something more unconventional, my goal is to create a space where people can both grieve and celebrate—a ceremony that feels just right for your family.
Celebrating Without Religious Boundaries
For families who may not be affiliated with a particular faith, or who want something more flexible and personal, a celebrant-led service can be the perfect fit. These ceremonies can include spiritual elements if desired, or be entirely secular. What matters most is honoring the individual in a way that resonates with those who loved them.
Supporting You Through the Process
Planning a funeral is never easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. From the first meeting to the final words spoken at the service, I guide and support you through each step with compassion and care.
If you’re currently planning a celebration of life or would like to know more about what I offer as a funeral celebrant, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be honored to help you create a ceremony that brings comfort, connection, and a true sense of meaning.

Child Naming Ceremonies
What Is a Child Naming Ceremony
Welcoming a child into the world is one of life’s most cherished milestones. It’s a moment filled with love, wonder, and hope for the future. For many families, a naming ceremony is a beautiful way to mark that moment—a chance to pause, gather loved ones, and say: “You are here. You are loved.”
As a Child naming celebrant, I have the privilege of helping families create heartfelt, personal ceremonies that reflect their values, their stories, and their love for their child.
A Child naming ceremony is a warm, non-religious celebration that welcomes a child into the world and their community. Unlike a christening or baptism, there’s no religious component—just a heartfelt gathering filled with meaning and joy.
These ceremonies can include:
Sharing the story behind your baby’s name
Words from parents, siblings, or grandparents
Appointing guideparents or mentors
Symbolic acts like lighting a candle or planting a tree
Music, poems, or readings
Blessings or promises for your child’s future
There are no rules—just love, intention, and celebration.
What I Bring as Your Celebrant
Every family is different, and every ceremony I create is as unique as the child we’re honouring. As your celebrant, I work closely with you to shape a ceremony that feels authentic, meaningful, and truly yours.
Here’s what you can expect when you choose me:
Personal Connection
I take time to get to know you—your hopes, your story, the little details that matter. Whether it’s a quiet garden ceremony or a joyful gathering with music and laughter, I’m here to bring your vision to life.
Thoughtful Guidance
Planning a ceremony can feel overwhelming, especially in the early days of parenting. I’ll guide you through every step with care and calm, helping you choose readings, rituals, and wording that resonate.
Warm, Heartfelt Delivery
On the day itself, I hold space for you and your family. My role is to create an atmosphere of warmth, presence, and love—so you can simply be in the moment.
Inclusive & Respectful
I honour all family structures, cultures, and identities. Whether you’re interfaith, LGBTQ+, blended, or simply seeking a non-religious option, you are welcome here.
