Celebrant

I am an independent celebrant, based in north west England. I work with people to create authentic ceremonies to celebrate and mark their rites of passage in life.

I devise and deliver Commitment Ceremonies, Natural Burials, Namings, Vow Renewals, Birthdays and Launches. More details on my ceremony making are here.

I travel to Cumbria, Lancashire and  Yorkshire. I’m also able to travel farther, depending on the occasion. Get in touch and ask.

My work as a creative practitioner and coach underpins my approach to being a celebrant. I am an active listener and aim to clarify exactly what you want for the ceremony. The dynamic between me and you lays the foundation for making your ceremony. The process will be creative, engaging and energising, as enriching as the event itself.

I was trained in 2013 by Sue Gill and Gilly Adams, of the Dead Good Guides. They are both well-respected secular celebrants who promote the artistry and creative element of ceremony.

I have devised and delivered events and ceremonies for over ten years, for festivals and community events. Becoming a celebrant fuses my love for words, occasion and collaboration.
