Creating a ceremony that truly reflects a couple is always my goal.

Every love story is unique, and it’s such a privilege to listen carefully and shape a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and completely yours.

Thank you Cass for your kind words. Being trusted with such an important moment in your lives means the world to me.

It’s always deeply meaningful to walk alongside families during life’s most important moments.

Sometimes that journey begins in a time of loss, and later continues into moments of joy and celebration. Being invited to support the same family through both a funeral and a wedding is a privilege I never take for granted.

Thank you Stuart for your kind words and trust. It means a great deal to be part of such significant milestones in people’s lives.

If you are looking for a celebrant who will approach your ceremony with care, professionalism, and genuine warmth, I would love to help.

Every couple brings their own story, energy, and personality into a ceremony. My role is simply to listen carefully and then shape a space where you can relax, be yourselves, and enjoy the moment instead of worrying about what comes next.

Thank you, Rachie, for your very kind words. It was such a pleasure getting to know you both and creating a ceremony that truly reflected who you are.

If you’re planning a wedding and want something heartfelt, calm, and genuinely personal, I’d love to have a conversation with you.

Send me a message anytime 💛

One of the most important parts of a wedding isn’t just the ceremony itself. It’s helping couples feel calm, supported, and confident through the whole process, including the legal paperwork, the vows, and all the little details in between.

Thank you, Jarrod, for such generous words. Travelling to be part of your day was an absolute pleasure, and I’m so glad everything felt smooth and relaxed for you both.

Helping couples feel calm, comfortable, and truly themselves on their wedding day is always my hope.

A ceremony should never feel rushed or scripted. It should feel like you. Personal, heartfelt, and gently held so you can simply be present with each other and the people you love most.

Thank you, Hamish and Chris, for trusting me to be part of such a special day. It was an absolute joy to stand alongside you both. 💛

If you’re planning your wedding and would like a ceremony that feels warm, relaxed, and meaningful, I’d love to chat.

I'm always interested in the music choices made for end-of-life services.

Music is such an important part of a service – there are no rights or wrongs; however, the choices played will invoke a particular ‘vibe’.

Sometimes, loved ones who have passed leave instructions about what should be played; other times, it's up to the family.

I’ve analysed the music that the families I worked with in 2025. The following songs were popular when families wanted to convey a belief in ‘crossing over’ and a sense of peace, journey, and letting go.
• Sailing
• Moon River
• (Somewhere) Over the Rainbow
• We’ll Meet Again
• Never Walk Alone

My favourite version of Over the Rainbow is sung by Eva Cassidy

Do you have a favourite song for an end of life service?

As 2025 turns into 2026, there’s a lot of talk about fresh starts — but feeling of grief and loss don’t just go away at midnight.

If you’re stepping into the New Year without someone you love, and feeling a bit out of sync with the celebrations around you, know that’s completely normal.

Grief has its own rhythm. A new year can hold sadness and hope at the same time — and there’s no right or wrong way to carry that forward.

Be how you need to be. ❤️

How ironic... the author of Conscious Grit: From Stuck to Unstoppable was stuck.

For months, I was spinning my wheels, trying to launch an online learning experience to help others get unstuck. I couldn't get my head around the tech. The frustration? Real.

It took my own tipping point—a moment of clarity and courage—to shift from unconscious grit to conscious grit. That’s when things changed.

I have met so many families this year in my role as Celebrant at Funeral, Celebration of Life and Memorial Services. Some circumstances have been understandable though still difficult and for others - well there is just “no words” …. Just a lot of pain.

I know that for some, the thought of being able to “heal” is a concept they cannot contemplate at this time. To you, I send strength and love.

Others may find my “Recipe for a Healing Christmas & Holiday Season” that I wrote a couple of weeks ago, a source of comfort and inspiration.

Recipe for a Healing Christmas & Holiday Seasons (c)

• 1 cup of cherished memories
• 2 tablespoons of gratitude for shared moments
• 1 giant handful of courage to face the day
• 1 generous handful of love from family and friends
• 1 teaspoon of a meaningful tradition
• A cup of self compassion & hope for the future.

Instructions:
1. Begin by reflecting on the special times you shared with your loved
one. Let the warmth of those memories fill your heart. Honour the emotions stirring within you—they are
valid and deserve recognition. Speak their names, share their stories, hold onto their laughter in your heart.

2. Add gratitude, stirring gently to balance the sadness with
thankfulness. Think about the gifts your loved ones brought into your life—their wisdom, joy, and love. Let gratitude
infuse even the saddest moments with warmth and remembrance.

3. Mix in courage, allowing it to blend fully so you can take each moment
as it comes. Allow yourself to sit with the bittersweet feelings of
the season. This may mean shedding tears, writing your thoughts,
or simply embracing the stillness. Healing requires courage, and
every small step matters.

4. Fold in love from those around you, drawing strength from their
support. Choose your company wisely. You know who fills your cup with what you need.

5. Sprinkle in a small tradition that honors your loved one— cook or share a favorite recipe, play the music you would have played, go for a trip to the same special place.

6. Add self compassion , knowing healing takes time but love endures forever. Be kind to yourself. Release any
pressure to feel a certain way or meet external expectations.

Know that healing isn’t linear, your journey is unique to you - and it’s okay to move at your own pace.

In mid December, Millingtons Funeral and Cemetery Services held a Christmas Memorial Service. Those attending were able to hang a decoration in honour of their late loved one/s. I did the same.

Take care - I hope the recipe helps! 🎄💐❤️
