In our world today many people are developing their own ideas, values and beliefs about life, religion and philosophy and whilst
traditional ceremonies will continue to play an integral part in community life, more people are seeking alternative approaches. I aim to reflect the wishes and desires of those seeking support and
it is my privilege to bring to individuals and families an alternative but yet still a respectful and memorable occasion.
People often ask why I became a Celebrant and how. Not an easy answer really, given that
the role of celebrants is still not fully understood. I had worked for the majority of my adult life in senior management roles across private, public and charity sectors and very proud of all my
achievements, including gaining a Masters Degree in my 40s. Sadly, I experienced dealing with the loss of both my parents, including a dreadful funeral service in 2010 for my dad, and barely 18
months later mum died, and it was at her service we were offered a celebrant, and this was the first time I had heard of such a role. I cannot explain to you but amongst the tears and pain on that
horrible day, reading tribute words to my mum led to others encouraging me, and my head and heart telling me, this was something I should pursue. My life at that time was unexpectedly at a crossroads
professionally, so I took the steps to find out more and here I am in my 12th year still working as a proud and committed Celebrant and to be honest I have not looked back. Being able to provide
support and comfort to people at their most significant times in their lives means everything. Whether it is welcoming a new addition to a family, declaring your love and commitment to another, or
saying farewell to a loved one, I can be there for you.
