I believe that ceremonies and rituals can change the course of our lives and offer us deep reflection, release, and intention-setting moments. In an increasingly ‘spiritual but not religious’ world, my Ministry is to offer that spiritual and ceremonial space to people for whom the established faith paths do not fit, or for interfaith families where more than one spiritual tradition needs to be weaved together to produce an authentic, heart-felt ceremony that feels truly ‘yours’. I offer child or baby naming, marriage blessings and bespoke ceremonies to celebrate or release big life happenings, such as divorce, career changes, moving, addiction recovery, menopause, illness, or ageing.
Every element of my own rich, challenging life has contributed to the way I hold space for others and meet them in a place where we are free, whole, and authentic. I am unusually comfortable with the uncomfortable, the shadow and the light.
Before becoming a Minister, I worked for 25 years as a business consultant and Chartered Surveyor, so I am an experienced, professional public speaker.
Creativity is the core of who I am, be it silversmithing, wordsmithing or working with fabrics and wood. I tend to find inspiration from the natural world – nature has all the best ideas! – to weave your ideas and experiences into a beautiful and moving ceremony.
