Supporting people to celebrate and mourn is a role I love and cherish. As a professional celebrant I am called upon and invited into some of life’s most sacred and intimate moments. Being an experienced marriage celebrant, funeral celebrant, and naming ceremony officiant, I help families and couples in Bellingen and the Mid North Coast craft personalised celebrations that reflect their stories, aspirations and values, and nurture them moving into new phases of life.
Whether you’re planning a wedding ceremony, celebrating a new life with a baby blessing, saying farewell to a loved one with a memorial service, or marking another of life’s milestones, I work closely with you to create a ceremony that supports you in celebrating your important life event in meaningful and enriching ways.
With expertise in both traditional and contemporary ceremonies, I bring warmth, professionalism, and care to every service. From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, from joyful unions to tender farewells, I would be delighted to guide you through life’s most significant moments with care and compassion.
About Me
For over three decades, I’ve been fortunate to call the beautiful Bellingen region home, weaving myself into the fabric of this remarkable community.
My approach to ceremony creation is deeply influenced by my rich background in the performing arts. As a flautist, choir director, and lead singer, I understand how music and artistry can create a compelling emotional landscape that brings people together. My experience in cabaret and burlesque performance has taught me that ceremonies can be both deeply meaningful and delightfully playful – it’s all about striking the right note for each unique occasion.
Whether I’m crafting a wedding ceremony that sensitively captures a couple’s love story, creating a farewell service that honours a life well-lived, or designing rituals for other significant life events, I bring deep listening and presence to the process.
Being a mother to three wonderful sons and a grandmother to three adorable grandsons has deepened my appreciation for life’s precious moments and the importance of marking them with intention and care. These personal experiences enrich my understanding of family dynamics and the power of celebration in strengthening bonds between generations.
My deep roots in the Bellingen area mean I can offer invaluable local knowledge to help you find the services you need to create a ceremony that resonates with our region’s special character. From intimate gatherings by our pristine waterways to celebrations in our historic venues, I can help you create the ideal setting for your special moment.
I look forward to creating with you a ceremony that reflects your story, honours your values, and supports you in living a life you love.
