Get Real Connection
We start with being born and then the spiral rolls out, through childhood, adolescence to adulthood.
And from there, if we are lucky to live a long life, we walk into elderhood and finally death.
It’s for all the big moments of change, sometimes obvious, sometimes not, that I want to offer my service.
The value of creating a moment to pause, witness, and be witnessed in a certain moment in life creates a deepening of the shared experiences and clears away any leftover energy for the next steps to be taken.
Sometimes it’s valuable to go back into the spiral together.
Call it ritual, call it attention for the real stuff, call it marking life stages, I believe this is where the gold can be found.
For ourselves, our families, and our communities.
Some experiences that I have made bespoke ceremonies for are:
Baby blessings
New mama/papa blessings
Love union
Birthdays
Menopause
Career change
Divorce
Caring for someone who is sick or recovering
New beginnings after a crisis
Any situation, big or small - it is my job to create a way for you to celebrate the magnificence of life through it all..
And it all starts with a chat.

Life.
Death.
Death is the end. No one gets out alive. And yet, most of us still do not do as much planning for dying & death as we do for birthing a new life. And I believe that when we make death, and endings in general, more part of our day to day conversations, when we normalise our own demise, we will potentially come more alive.
I am passionate about death. I see it as a sacred event, our final rite of passage. I have trained as a death doula, facilitated death cafes and I enjoy having a playful, embodied exploration into anything that has to do with death. I am happy to get together with people who fear death, for themselves or someone close to them, so we can find more acceptance and relaxation about it. I am not a therapist. I am a mortal human who has lost loved ones and knows that grief means love. I am still practicing the art of letting go and I will until the day I die.
Dying is not a personal event only, it has an impact on work places, schools and the neighborhood. I am all for building networks of support and connection to share our humanness. If you want to talk about death in your organisation, let me know.
