Kia ora everyone

A little note for those who have reached out, and for anyone curious about my celebrant services.

I have the honour of officiating my very first wedding for dear friends in January 2027. They have asked that I don’t undertake any weddings prior to their special day, and I’m more than happy to honour that request.

This timing also gives me the gift of moving slowly and intentionally, organising everything with care, refining the small details, and ensuring I’m fully prepared to offer a seamless, heartfelt experience for all weddings that follow.

If you are interested in booking with me, please know that I am taking bookings from 16 January 2027 onward.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

My celebrant journey has been unfolding slowly, intentionally, and with great care. I know this vocation will see me through to the end of my working life, so I’m not rushing to fill my calendar, I’m welcoming couples who appreciate the depth of lived experience I bring and the genuine attention I give to every ceremony.

Behind the scenes, I’m preparing thoughtfully: selecting special pens for your signing, choosing elegant wedding folders for our appointments, and ensuring every detail is ready so your ceremony feels seamless, meaningful, and truly yours.

I’m delighted to share that my first wedding is booked for January, and I’m honoured to have been offered this opportunity. It marks the beginning of what I know will be many years of dedicated celebrant service.

If you’re interested in connecting, I’d love to kōrero.

Kia ora and hello beautiful souls. I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m stepping into a new chapter that feels like the culmination of a lifetime, living, loving, learning, stumbling, rising, and finding my way back to myself.

I hold space for life’s big moments and inner journeys. While I may be new to the celebrant world, I bring decades of lived experience, wisdom, and heart. I stand grounded and authentic in who I am, offering ceremonies that are warm, sacred, and deeply human.

As both a Celebrant and Chakradance™ Facilitator, I’m here to guide you through meaningful milestones and soulful movement experiences. Whether I’m officiating your most treasured moments or leading transformative Chakradance™ journeys, my intention is always the same, to help you embody your story, embrace your flow, and celebrate every facet of your being.

On paper, these roles look like two different worlds. In truth, they share the same heartbeat: the celebration of the human experience, the messy, beautiful, honest parts of being alive.

My celebrant calendar is now open and already filling for late 2026 and 2027. I would be honored to walk alongside you and celebrate life’s most precious occasions together.

Let’s kōrero about your plans so we can shape a ceremony package that truly suits you and your loved ones, a deeply grounded and memorable occasion held with care.
