Services
Think of me as a spiritual architect for all of the important occasions that you wish to mark in your life. I work alongside you to create meaningful rituals and events for moments such as weddings, initiations, birthing, anniversaries, coming of age, midlife, menopause, blessings and end of life. I have over twenty five years of experience of working with varying creative, academic, event and spiritual frameworks in order to help you find meaning, especially if your spirituality or lifestyle are non-traditional or outside the mainstream.
​
I pull together from academia, the arts, spirituality and my knowledge of events to create with you a meaningful rite of passage that comes from your own inner spiritual wanderings, yearning and knowing. This is your story. We work together to help create an inspired event that is grounded, meaningful and specific to your own spiritual and symbolic landscape.

Arrivals
Arrival rituals often acknowledge belonging, bringing forth, conception and conceiving, inclusion and heritage. They can be times of coming together to welcome someone to community or the taking on of a new role. Arrivals are often a time of well wishes for good outcomes, blessings, gifting, seeding and planting, protection and sheltering new life that is stirring. Ceremonies for Arrivals include:
Birthing Rites and Blessings, Initiations, Coming of Age Rites, Adoption, New Venture Blessings, House Blessings.
Transits
Transits happen when we, like the planets, are moving from one place in our lives to the next. These are often rituals where we honor and make space for commitment, freedom, love, union and growth. They examine and tenderly hold what we have learned about ourselves, our decisions, our lives, the world around us and the path it took to get us to the present. These are times of growth and activation, encouragement, manifestation and the now ripeness of what was planted and seeded. Ceremonies for Transits include:
Weddings, Partnerings, Anniversaries, Vow Making and Renewals, Menarche, Midlife, Menopause, Becoming a Community Member, Graduations.
Departures
Departures are often a time of honoring and releasing. These ceremonies bring a recognition of what has been, what is, and what may come. They value, examine and make room for ending, evaluation, processing, mourning and grieving. They hold a door open for expression, humanity, story, support, meaning, remembrance, compassion, shifting identities and deep acknowledgement. Ceremonies for Departures include:
End of Life, Relocations, Relationship and Job Endings, Retirements, Completion and Releasing Ceremonies.
