My work as a celebrant is complemented by the many other hats that I wear. I have been employed as an education assistant for nearly 18 years helping mainstream and special need children.
For over ten years I was also affiliated with SIDS and Kids WA as a volunteer phone supporter; a role that assisted many families alongside their difficult journeys of bereavement.My hobbies are gardening, art, antiques and spending time with my dog, Temmie. I enjoy music of all genres and very interested in mental health and the use of alternative therapies to sustain a happy life. I love to meditate and play singing bowls for relaxation.My husband and I are happily married and have been together for well over 25 years. We have been blessed with a beautiful daughter. She is autistic and has helped me to understand the importance of being supportive and mindful of neurodiversity to sustain healthy, meaningful relationships.I have been fortunate to marry into an indigenous family which has really enriched my life and as a result I am very aware how cultural diversity in its many forms helps to shape society.I am also a firm supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community and believe that love is love in its many forms. I look forward to being a part of all types of happily ever afters and can't wait to make your ceremony extra special!

If you're looking for a fabulous venue, I can highly recommend Mulberry Estate and Aintree Cottage as I am a preferred vendor at both of these wonderful locations!

FUNERALS, WAKES AND CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE

To acknowledge those who have passed on is an important ritual to help those left behind manage their grief. Celebrating their life by holding an event, performing a funeral or a wake is something that helps to preserve the spirit of a person, friend, loved one or pet in a way that helps to keep their memories alive. Allowing me to be part of this important moment in your life will truly be an honour and privilege for me.

BABY NAMING ceremonies

A Naming Ceremony's purpose is to officially give a baby or child their name and to make the name known to all their friends and family. This ceremony has an extended purpose of presenting the baby to the community and to celebrate the arrival of a new person into the world. It is a wonderful way to celebrate a true gift to a family. I love performing this ceremony and, being a mother myself, I feel very connected to the acknowledgement of our little treasures.
