Ceremonies of Change, Courage, and Becoming.

Life Transitions

Some moments in life defy simple definitions. They are thresholds between what was and what is becoming.  A Life Transition Ceremony is a way to pause, witness honour and give shape to change.

As your celebrant, what you can expect

These ceremonies are created from the ground up, rooted in your story, values and vision. They can be quiet and reflective, or joyful and shared with others with intention and connection.


As John O’Donohue reminds us: "A threshold is not a simple boundary; it is a frontier that divides two different territories, rhythms, and atmospheres. To acknowledge and cross a new threshold is always a challenge. It demands courage and also a sense of trust in whatever is emerging."


If you are standing on the edge of something new, let’s mark it with intention, meaning, and ceremony. Let’s create something beautiful together.


Every ceremony I craft is shaped by listening to your story, your heart, your values and your hopes. I honour every person I work with and I believe deeply in the power of ceremony to bring meaning, connection and belonging to the event.


If you're planning a celebration, remembrance, or a personal rite of passage, I’d love to talk. No two stories are the same and your ceremony should be as unique as you are.


The Irish poet Seamus Heaney once wrote: "Believe that a further shore is reachable from here."

The ceremony may include:

  • Coming of age.
  • Retirement.
  • Gender affirmation or name changes.
  • Starting a new path or closing an old one.
  • Recovery milestones.
  • Personal transformation or inner awakenings.
