"The cure for anything is saltwater... sweat, tears, or the sea..." ~Karen Blixen (as Isak Dineson)

As a certified Life-Cycle Celebrant®* l work with clients to create joyful weddings and uplifting memorial services. In addition, I am here to help mark other milestones throughout life—home blessing, baby naming, new business, coming of age, retirement, and more—with heartfelt ceremonies.

The Celtic Pagan traditions of my Irish ancestors especially inspire my reverence for sacred, earth-based ceremony, and the ocean inspires my love for nature, its elements, and its creatures.

The hallmark of a Celebrant ceremony is complete customization, no templates with names and dates filled in. Whether love story for a wedding or life story for a memorial, my background as writer and storyteller will inform the process of weaving words as we collaborate to create your unique ceremony.

I am an initiated priestess with the Rosa Mandala Collective of El Cerrito, California, undergoing the traditional year-and-a-day priestess training with eclectic and varied spiritual influences. I also serve as a lay leader in my congregation, the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara.

I am proud to serve those of all orientations and backgrounds, including the LGBTQ community. Always customized just for you--it's your ceremony your way.
