As an experienced funeral celebrant, I bring all my skills including my listening skills to create a rich and authentic ceremony with you.

I trained as a Civil Funeral celebrant with the Sally Cant College of Celebrancy.

My professional training includes the Midwifing Death Course under the leadership of Dr Michael Barbato, as well as formal training in Clinical Pastoral Care. I continue my professional development through online training with Grief Australia. Since 2007 I have been a trainer in Mental Health First Aid and Suicide Alertness.

My early career was focussed in the performing arts. This has equipped me with skills in public speaking and audience engagement.

I believe I am an honest, sensitive and diligent person and I endeavour to develop a sincere relationship with the families I work with. From the time we first meet until the formal end of the service, you can be sure that I will always have your best interests in mind and at heart.

I look forward to meeting you.

"Honestly I have never experienced such an amazing funeral. Annette, this work is definitely your calling!"
