As Life Changes, it holds moments of celebration and sorrow, sacred moments when gathering together, in ceremony, marks the occasion and creates a space for family, friends and community to acknowledge and honor an important transition.

Wedding, Elopement and Commitment Ceremonies are times of joyful celebration and personal choice. I collaborate with you and your Beloved, and together we'll craft a personal service that embraces your unique perspectives and favorite messages. There is much to designing a life-changing event - there is the deep bond of love and commitment you both seek to acknowledge, for one another, and perhaps including others.

Perhaps you have been committed for many years and acknowledging and celebrating this Journey of the Heart calls for a special get-away and intimate ceremony. I have facilitated and hosted island getaways for all kinds of groups and can assist you in finding the perfect venue and can connect you with the finest providers in San Juan County.

Honoring the loss and transition of death is also a sacred ceremony. As a Death Doula, I have worked with many, as they move through serious, terminal illness and death. Supporting the individual, and their loved ones, at this time calls for calm and compassionate care.

In these times of Covid, I am experienced working with families using Zoom technology and supporting digital tools. I have a team that can work with you to design communications and events that suit every occasion, including invitations, programs, and memorial celebrations.

I live on Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands in the Salish Sea, and have been a host, guide and celebrant for more than fifteen years. I am a professionally certified coach and Reiki master and connect in deep and heartfelt relationships with those I serve.

I look forward to talking with you about your ceremonial needs.
