Before you hire me as your Life-Cycle Celebrant you will want to know my qualifications and talents for ceremony writing and performing. For details of my training in ceremony with the Celebrant Foundation and Institute you can browse their web-site (See Useful Links). My skills in public speaking also have been assessed and highly praised.

In my early life I gained a degree in English Language and Literature from Queen’s University, Northern Ireland, and a Graduate Certificate in Education. Over the years I have continued to develop my skills, and particularly my interest in human growth and personal development. I am a qualified Avatar Master, and I work part-time in the field of community education and facilitation. However I value most the caring skills that I gained in my role as a parent, and carer for a child with disability.

Whatever person or occasion you feel deserves to be honoured you will find that I can sensitively identify with your needs and wants in order to create a uniquely life-affirming ceremony. I bring to my work respect for all cultural and religious traditions, a deep love of Nature, and a reverence for the great mystery of life. I have a great love of words and writing, and I promise I will make my words work for you, reflect you, and move you.
