Honouring a legacy, celebrating a life
A Celebration of Life ceremony is about more than saying goodbye—it’s a joyful, heartfelt way to remember the person you loved and the unique story they shared with the world.
These ceremonies are as individual as the lives they honour, blending laughter, tears, memories, and hope.​​As a celebrant, I’m here to help you create a service that feels just right—a gathering that reflects your loved one’s spirit, passions, and the special connections they made. Whether that means sharing favourite stories, music, poems, or symbolic rituals, we’ll shape a ceremony that brings comfort, meaning, and even moments of lightness amid the grief.
​If you’re planning a Celebration of Life, I’ll guide you gently through the process, listening closely to your stories and wishes.
We’ll create a ceremony that truly reflects the person you’re remembering—whether that’s formal, informal, humorous, or quietly reflective. And yes, I'll even wear daffodil yellow if that's what works for you.

Supporting Advanced Wishes and End of Life Coaching
​
As well as leading ceremonies, I work closely with people who want to prepare their advanced wishes or need support in the final weeks and months of life. Together, we talk through what matters most to them - how they want to be remembered, what kind of farewell feels right, and who they want to be part of it.
​
This kind of planning can be incredibly empowering. It gives people a sense of control at a time when so much feels uncertain, and it offers real peace of mind - for them and for those they love. When the time comes, their wishes are clear, and honoured with care and respect.
​
I offer a blend of practical, emotional, and compassionate support - whether you’re facing a terminal diagnosis yourself or supporting someone who is. I’ll help you navigate the flood of emotions that often come with this territory: fear, anger, sadness, confusion. And I’ll guide you to clarify what’s most important to you right now, including how you want to spend the time ahead.
​
I can also help with the practical bits - those tricky conversations with family or friends about care preferences or legacy, sorting affairs, writing letters, or creating meaningful rituals. And I offer simple tools to help you stay grounded and present, whether that’s through mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, or simply by holding a steady, non-judgmental space for whatever comes up.
​
Talking about death and dying is never easy. It’s messy, human, and deeply personal. When you find yourself face-to-face with mortality - your own or someone else’s - it’s easy to feel lost, overwhelmed, and very alone.
​
But you don’t have to face it alone.
​
Sometimes the greatest comfort is having someone at your side who’s been here before. Someone who “speaks the language,” who listens without judgment, and who can gently walk beside you with honesty, presence, and kindness.
If that sounds like what you need, I’m here. Let’s talk about what support might look like for you.
