About me

When a loved one dies, it can change the entire trajectory of your life and often, the funeral ceremony is the first step on your grief journey. That's why it's important when choosing a celebrant who can lead the ceremony in a way that fully captures the uniqueness of your person and the life they lived.

My professional background is in corporate fundraising, and I have been lucky enough to work for a range of wonderful charities including the NSPCC, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity and Sands (Stillbirth & Neonatal Death Charity).

Everything changed in 2021 when my Mum was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer that had spread to her brain and spine. My beautiful, vivacious Mum rapidly deteriorated, and to see her pain and loss of dignity was heart breaking. When she died just under a year later, it felt incredibly important to organise a funeral that captured the amazing woman that she was, so that her life was not defined by her illness.

I had attended funerals, but having to organise my Mum's felt different and the responsibility was overwhelming. The need to pour love, tenderness and care into every element of the ceremony felt crucial, and our celebrant worked with us to do just that.

I became a funeral celebrant because I want to help people in a way that I know really matters. I wish my Mum were still here with us, but her death was the catalyst that brought me to this place, motivating me to become a celebrant and to bring authenticity and heart to every funeral ceremony that I am privileged to lead.

I live in south east London with my husband, son, daughter and our two cats.
