I’m a proud British-Canadian who’s spent over 30 years engaging & listening to people’s stories, whether in the corporate world or as Men’s Captain at Thorpe Bay Lawn Tennis Club, where genuine connections mean everything. It’s a privilege to carry that same passion and care into working with families, listening deeply, and helping tell the beautiful, unique stories of lives, at whatever stage of life.
As an accredited (The Academy Of Professional Celebrants) civil celebrant, I specialise in creating ceremonies which are: Engaging, warm, heartfelt, meaningful and full of personal memories. I will work closely and listen to you and your family to understand your passions, values, and any special rituals or traditions you’d like to include. My goal is to ensure that your ceremony is an unforgettable experience for you, your family, friends and guests.
I am here to create, guide and deliver a ceremony which perfectly reflects you & your family’s unique stories and desires, with respect and dignity.
With a focus on authenticity, inclusivity, and respect for all beliefs and traditions, I am dedicated to making your celebration a truly special one. Let me help you celebrate life’s important moments with grace, joy, and love.
