Welcome to The Ministry of Light. A place to pause – a haven for love, belonging & gentle renewal – a space to come together – to explore and discover. May you find peace here. May your Soul remember its radiant Light and feel the warm embrace of the Eternal Light.

My journey to ordination in July 2025 was beautiful and humbling. Along the way, I wandered the quiet pathways of my inner landscape and how I embrace the world around me. With each step my understanding deepened. With each step my connection strengthened with the eternal light that gently glows within me, and the divine Light that radiates beyond. This journey was one of discovery and remembering, a continual unfolding of inspiration and grace. One that invited me to listen more deeply… to trust the quiet whisper of Spirit… to honour all that is sacred in myself, others and in the life that pulses through everything.

As an Interfaith Minister, I am not affiliated with any single religion. Instead, I honour the golden thread of Light that flows through all faiths and spiritual paths, including those who hold no particular faith. My calling is to embrace all with compassion, in peace and harmony, as One Light – One Spirit. I walk this path with a heart devoted to peace, unity, and sacred service, rooted in love and compassion.

I am also a Hospital Chaplain, supporting patients, relatives and staff, drawing on my 30 years of service in the NHS; an accredited Meditation Teacher, trained and registered with the British School of Meditation; a Reiki Master-Teacher, registered with The Reiki Association, and an Intuitive Artist and Therapeutic Art Life Coach. I also have a certificate in Hypnosis, having trained with the Devon School of Hypnosis.

Following ordination in 2025, I formed The Ministry of Light. Guided by the Light, I walk alongside you in love, light and presence, with an open heart and a listening spirit, tending the sacred in each moment. It is my joy and calling to serve as a bridge of light, embracing all as One Light – One Spirit.

Through The Ministry of Light, I bring a compassionate presence and gentle light through all my offerings:

  • Spiritual Accompaniment – to support you on your spiritual journey
  • Personalised Ceremonies – for the celebration of all life events – baby naming/welcoming, weddings/unions/blessings, funerals/memorials/celebrations of life…
  • Spiritual Sharings and Services – in-person and online gatherings, services, development circles…
  • Meditation – group sessions and courses for beginners
  • Reiki – healing sessions, attunements and courses (levels 1, 2 & Masters)

Thank you from my heart to your heart for engaging with me and I look forward to our lights shining brightly together.

May you go in Love, shine in Light, and walk with Blessings upon your path.
