Personal Narrative and Time Honoured Traditions
Welcome. I’m a professionally educated ceremonial Celebrant. And when it comes to ceremony, I’m all about boutique style & bespoke experiences. [Bespoke: The difference between 'off-the-rack' and custom-made for the individual client.]
Mass produced ceremonies are not my thing. I’m cresting the first wave of what I hope will be a massive sea-change in the way we engage in ceremony in our fast-paced society. My intention is to shift the ceremonies we hold for the big moments of our lives back to when ceremony actually meant something… When ceremony really mattered… When ceremony had the power to inform, awaken, transform and heal.
When we experience a deeply meaningful ceremony what stays with us is how we felt. The look on a father, a sister, a child’s face. The expression of real, honest, open emotion. Formulaic one-size-fits-all ceremonies don’t awaken us to the poetry and mystery of our human lives. Very often they leave us feeling like we missed something important.
As BC’s first professional Celebrant, and one of the only ceremonial writers in Canada, what interests me most are your stories. Individuals, couples, and families trust me with their innermost thoughts and feelings when they experience big life changes like getting married, the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, or even divorce. That such amazing people trust me to create the ceremonies that commemorate these pivotal moments is an honour I do not take lightly.
