💫 How do I get to know my couples?

Every couple is unique, and that’s why I take the time to truly get to know you.

We begin with a relaxed conversation, often over a cup of coffee. It’s an easy, welcoming space where you can share your love story, your vision for the ceremony, and what matters most to you.

From there, I’ll guide you through a thoughtful questionnaire designed to uncover the meaningful, the subtle, and even the humorous moments that make your relationship unique. Together, we shape a ceremony that feels natural, heartfelt, and completely you.

There’s no pressure and no awkwardness - just a supportive, enjoyable process from the very beginning.

If you’re dreaming of a ceremony that feels deeply personal and truly honours your love story, I’d love to connect. Let’s start the conversation.

P.S. I know my way around a wedding ceremony, it's the selfie I have to practice 😉

⭐️ Share your story.

The Globe and Mail is looking to hear from couples about the importance of friendship in a marriage.

How do you cultivate friendship in your marriage? How does a foundation of friendship help you get through tough times and make the good times even better? What does it look like to have a true friendship with your partner?

Research has shown that life satisfaction is significantly higher among people who say their spouse is their best friend

✨ Today, we honour the women who shape stories, hold families together, and lead us with courage

I am inspired every day by women who love boldly and show up for one another in ways seen and unseen. Here’s to the caregivers, cycle-breakers, visionaries, elders, ancestors, and the next generation rising – may your voices be centred and your journeys celebrated.

Happy International Women’s Day. 💙

I am proud to be part of this Celebrant community. My training was gold-standard! 🤩

What if your passion isn’t something you have to “go find” … but something you’ve been living toward your whole life? 🌱

At Natural Transitions Institute, we help you name that quiet knowing and turn it into meaningful work at life’s thresholds.

With our gold-standard training, you learn how to shape ceremonies and rituals with care & intention. You don’t just gain skills; you claim a path you’ve been on all along.

✨ If you’ve been wondering, “Could this be my next chapter?” … this is your invitation.
