Did you know….
That for every ceremony I host I will donate $5 of my wages to Greenfleet to help offset my own carbon emissions?
I love love in all its forms.
Seeing people holding hands whilst walking, or falling asleep on each other's shoulders on the train, watching my dogs playing, or listening to children laughing, watching a good romcom and sharing a giggle with my friends. These are some of the things that bring me joy.
My favourite saying in life is, ”it’s nice to be nice,” and as you can probably gather, I’m a glass half full type of person.
I was born in the UK and grew up in the crazy hair 80’s, and all I wanted to do was travel. In my 20’s I backpacked around most of the world. visiting some amazing countries and absorbing cultures and lifestyles into my soul. I realised that you don’t need money to be happy, you just need love, (mind you if I suddenly became a squillionaire now I wouldn’t complain!) I emigrated to Australia in 1996, lived in Melbourne for 6 years, then married my husband in 2002 and moved to Sydney to be with him, where we now have 2 beautiful teenage daughters, and 2 fluff ball dogs.
Life is good.
Professionally I’ve spent many years demonstrating a variety of products at events and expos internationally, with lots of public speaking and MCing at different ceremonies and occasions, including TV and video. In Melbourne I worked for a construction company in residential sales, helping to design and sell new homes to clients. Once I moved to Sydney my main focus was on being a Mum, with some part time administrative work and writing books amongst other things, to keep me occupied.
I am a stickler for organisation, I love writing and expressing myself through words. I am thorough with my work, making sure everything is considered, and nothing left out.
Becoming a Celebrant has been such an exciting journey as it incorporates everything that I love to do, and it has truly opened up my heart and made me excited about my future.
Helping you create your dream celebration really is a dream of mine too, so if you want to celebrate your love with a ceremony, be it a wedding, naming day, renewal of vows, or simply just because.....I'm your person!
I will virtually hold your hands through the whole process of designing and fine tuning the ceremony that you require. We'll get to know each other along the way so that your service is personal, loving, fun and simply beautiful.
Whatever your vibe, rustic, modern, kooky or elegant and stylish, I will create your story that reflects who you are, with whatever rituals you would wish to include, (the chocolate and champagne one is my fave!)
Whether you want to elope and have a private ceremony, or have a huge "do" with all the family, friends and pets included, I'm here to make sure your service goes to plan, is perfect, and one that will leave you with a lifetime of fabulous memories.
My core values are:
Empathy and kindness to all.
Respect for all.
Equality for all.
Honesty.....
And a sprinkling of giggles.
