Hello and thank you for visiting my website.
I have many strings to my bow of life of which celebrancy is just one. My celebrancy career started several years ago when I was fortunate enough to be selected for a marriage registrar position for Cambridgeshire County Council. I spent a year with them learning the ropes of marriage and civil partnership registration and conducting ceremonies from a legal perspective before relocating to Norfolk where I took up the same position working for Norfolk County Council.
My interest in celebrancy grew from there. I loved officiating and registering weddings, interacting with people and coming home with that feeling of sheer job satisfaction, that I had made a real difference to somebody's life by being involved in their special day.
Being a naturally empathetic person, it was suggested that I might look into funeral celebrancy. Indeed, I had already lost my mother in 2012 before celebrancy had really taken off and I was always struck by how impersonal my mother's religious service was and didn't really reflect who she was at all.
I therefore decided to take formal qualifications to be an independent celebrant. I chose to train with the industry leader, Civil Ceremonies, and gained a formal NOCN Level 3 qualification in Funerals, Couples and Naming celebrancy.
I have never looked back. However, I now only specialise in funeral celebrancy. I can honestly say that I really do love my job. It is my greatest pleasure and an absolute honour to deliver a fitting tribute for your loved one and to assist bereaved families in their hours of need.
I am also a qualified bereavement support counsellor and currently run a bereavement support group on my local area. Please see my bereavement page for more details.
I have now added an online appointments diary so just pop over to my contact page and book an appointment online.
