Sound Journeys

I originally became an ordained minister online because I needed the credential for a cosmetics job opportunity, and then it organically grew into something deeper and more meaningful for me.

Over time, that “practical” step opened doors into spiritual coaching, life events like weddings and ceremonies, and a way to support people more holistically - not just in how they look, but in how they feel, heal, and move through major transitions in life.

I’m originally from the Puget Sound area in Washington State, and I grew up in Edmonds and Everett, where I’m now based as an adult.

With my online ordination, I hope to blend practical support and spiritual care by officiating life events, offering spiritual and life coaching, and helping people navigate major transitions with compassion, dignity, and a sense of personal empowerment.

I grew up Catholic and attending Catholic Schools including courses at Seattle University.

What makes my ceremonies special is how personal and intentional they are; I don’t just “perform” a script, I help create a moment that actually feels like the couple.

Personal connection

• I take time to learn the couple’s story, values, and vision so the ceremony feels like “them,” not a generic template.
• Because my background is in holistic support and coaching, I’m comfortable having deeper conversations that help couples clarify what they want their marriage to stand for.

Calm, grounded presence

• I bring a calm, organized, and reassuring presence, which helps nervous couples and wedding parties feel more at ease in the moment.
• My style is warm and approachable rather than rigid or overly formal, so guests feel invited into the experience instead of just watching it.

Blending practical and meaningful

• I’m very detail-oriented with logistics, timing, and legal requirements, so the couple can relax knowing everything will be handled correctly.
• At the same time, I focus on the emotional and spiritual significance of the day, using language that honors their beliefs-whether religious, spiritual, or more secular.

Focus on transitions and healing

• Because I see my ministry as helping people move through major life transitions, I treat a wedding as more than an event; it’s a threshold moment for the couple, their families, and their future.
• I aim for guests to walk away feeling not only that it was beautiful, but that it was meaningful, inclusive, and truly reflective of the couple’s journey.

I'm located within 10 minutes of the I-5 corridor and Downtown Everett. 30 - 50 minutes from Seattle depending on location in Seattle. As always travel times vary due to traffic and other environmental factors.

I’d love people to know that my ministry isn’t limited to weddings; I also support individuals and families through other major life transitions with both practical guidance and compassionate, nonjudgmental care.

I offer spiritual and life coaching, help people navigate seasons of change and healing, and can create personalized ceremonies for milestones beyond marriage (such as vow renewals or memorials). My approach is inclusive and adaptable to different beliefs or backgrounds, so people can feel seen, respected, and genuinely supported-whether they identify as religious, spiritual, or “still figuring it out.”
