It will be my honour to assist you in planning the celebration of the living and leaving of your life, or the life of a loved one.

When faced with the reality of life’s end or shouldering the loss of a loved one, we may feel overwhelmed by emotion and the many decisions that lay ahead. The emotional upheaval, mixed with such ambiguity, can often diminish our sense of direction and internal peace. This is where engaging a personalised end-of-life planner and dedicated celebration of life celebrant can make such a difference. As an experienced celebration of life celebrant and end-of-life doula and in Perth, I offer personalised, compassionate services in advanced care planning and support services throughout the dying process. My mission is to lighten your load, guiding you through this challenging time with respect, dignity, understanding, and expert care.

The past few years have seen me celebrate the lives of many family members unexpectedly. It was in the planning, writing, and conducting of the ceremonies for each that I developed a passion for wanting to assist the family and friends of loved ones in honouring and celebrating their lives by walking beside them and guiding them in the co creation of an individually crafted ceremony, that captures their loved one's essence. I sought and acquired formal qualifications to further assist me

In addition to my experience and formal qualifications in Funeral Celebrancy and as an end of life doula, I bring decades of professional skills and knowledge in a diverse range of fields including disability, education, aged care, consulting, writing and lived experience, in addition to the core values I hold of compassion, respect, acceptance and the ability to utilise intuition and instinct, honed over a lifetime. Together they enable me to create a ceremony that reflects and honours the uniqueness of your loved one.

I am available to:
• officiate at funeral ceremonies in any location of your choosing
• conduct memorials to celebrate your loved one in any location of your choosing
• prepare eulogies, tributes, life stories
• assist with end of life planning at any stage of the life journey

We’re all just walking each other home.
