“Every moment is sacred.  Your life is a ceremony. Your life is a prayer. It only happens once.  You can try to recreate it, but it only happens once.”

- The Story Medicine

These words inspire my work as a Life Celebrant.  Creating ceremonies started as a creative way to unite the folks in my community around the cycles of the seasons and to celebrate the turning of the wheel.  It has evolved into an offering of guidance and through life’s rites of passage, including:

• Birth

• Menarche

• Coming of Age

• Acceptance of Self/Coming Out

• Transition from Maiden to Mother, Mother to Crone

• Marriage

• Divorce/Dissolution of Relationship

• Surgery

• Moving to a New Home

• Parent’s Blessing Ceremony

• New Business

• Menopause

• Retirement

• Death of a person, animal, or belief

With each ceremony, I provide:

~ One in person meeting or virtual call with the organizing host to understand the vision for the ceremony.

~ One personalized digital invite to share with your guests.

~ Preparation of the space with adornments on the appointed day.

~ Closing the circle by clearing and cleaning the space.

~ A follow up check-in that may precipitate ongoing support if needed.

I believe that in the same way that the body holds organs, thoughts, and feelings; or that a house holds memories, goals, and experiences - that the circle of people in a ceremony creates a container to witness the transformation of a soul.  I think our world is in desperate need of rituals to remind us of our connections to each other, the Earth, and our Creator.

The intention of a ceremony is to shine a light on the person experiencing a life transition and hold them in love and support. This special event offers an opportunity for the person’s friends and family to play an intentional role of care and comfort in their journey by creating deeper bonds and building the confidence to lean on them when needed. Ceremonies can also be done with no guests, just you and me, acknowledging and honoring your experience in a sacred space.

To prepare for a ceremony, there are some topics I offer you to consider which include: setting an intention, choosing a location, selecting guests, and deciding which rituals to incorporate.

When we gather together to share life experiences and inner wisdom with a clear intention it creates a beautiful bond of community. Bringing the art of ceremony back into the light of common practice, we are reopening a chapter in our collective history to celebrate all the seasons of our life journey.

It would be an honor to walk with you on your path.
