Mark the arrival of a precious child with a heartfelt naming ceremony that captures the joy, the hopes and the dreams you hold for their future.
Together we create a personalised ceremony that celebrates your child's uniqueness, strengthens family bonds and welcomes them into a loving, supportive community. Many families are turning to "guide parents" as an alternative to godparents, and naming ceremonies as an alternative to traditional baptisms — strengthening the ties that let children grow up surrounded by a community of loving adults, family and friends alike.
This same approach works beautifully beyond a child's arrival, too — naming ceremonies make a wonderful way to mark a new event launch, or to open a shop or business with real intention.
It's a great honour to help create a memorial after someone has died. This plays a real role for a community coming to terms with the loss of someone cherished.
But a celebration of life doesn't have to wait for an ending. More people are choosing to celebrate their loved ones while they're still here — the mood can be great festivity or quiet reflection, but the motivation is always the same: to honour someone we love while we still can.
Grieving is a journey that twists and turns through many stages. Grief mandalas can help us come to terms with the end of a chapter — the death of a loved one, or even an unfulfilled dream that needs to be released.
A grief mandala can bring closure and signal a new beginning. I help individuals and groups find peace through this beautiful, symbolic process, often held in nature — on a beach, in a forest, or wherever feels right for the people concerned.
Since my own parents went into residential care, I've taken to visiting care settings to deliver "Life Stories" presentations. Sometimes this takes the form of an open interview with a resident; other times I explore the fascinating trajectories of well-known authors, musicians or inventors as a way into the subject. The aim is always to combine moving moments with humour, creating something that becomes a genuine highlight of the day for those in care.
