About
Hello!
I became a celebrant/officiant because life cycle events are the truly magic moments that make the DASH worth it. Not familiar with the DASH, you say? Yes, you are, trust me.
Here it is: BORN DASH DONE as in 1978 - ?
See what I mean? So your opportunity to honor each of the many important choices we make in our lifetimes is where I come in, with your choice to marry being on the top of the list of life's incredible transitional events.
It's a big and bold step that takes you into the next part of your journey in your life now sharing it with someone and you have invited your family and your friends and sometimes your pets to be there to witness it.
Having me as your celebrant will insure that your vision of yourselves as a couple, as a family, as people is well represented in the most honest, fun and heartfelt way possible to make your celebration one that is warm, special and unique to who you are.
My background as a Public Relations practitioner with experiences that have taken me from the Grammy's to the Oscars and everything in between informs my work as a celebrant. My path to becoming a celebrant became clear and dear to me when I realized that I could combine my love of people, creating a great story and my attraction to all things spiritual.
While I am not clergy, I am trained to honor the divine by recognizing the importance of each couple's journey and how to bring that forward in your ceremony.
I am honored to have gotten my degree from the Celebrant Institute and Foundation (www.celebrantinstitute.org) as a certified Life Cycle Celebrant in 2012 and since that time have conducted weddings, namings, and other lifecycle events.
I proudly marry and support LGBTQ, multicultural and multi religion couples in their quest to tie the knot.
In the end, as a great poet wrote, "It's not the breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away."
Make your celebration one of those times that does just that: takes your breath away with joy, happiness and love.
