Unique one of a kind crafted ceremonies to mark the significant milestones of your life

The essential ingredient of my being a Celebrant
is being connected with others by suspending all judgements
and living in the moment with them,
being in sync with their emotions,
while helping them create life-affirming ceremonies.

Welcome

I invite you to honor your life's milestones and the new thresholds you are stepping through

Weddings

One of the most fundamental differences between a ceremony from any other source and a ceremony created by a Lifecycle Celebrant is the importance of Story.

Funerals

When a loved one dies it is an emotionally painful time. I feel a special calling to compassionately assist families during this life-changing transition.

Transitions

Ceremonies help us mark the transitions in our lives and move us into the next phase of our journey with consciousness, meaning and connection.

Ceremony & Ritual...

help us make sense of our past, gives us a sense of peace for today, and provides us with a new vision for our future.
My work as a Celebrant calls for all the experiences that have made me what I am today – sorrows and failures as well as joys and successes.
My story helps me understand others in
crafting the expressions of what they are experiencing
into a cohesive, joyful, even perhaps healing form.

Kevin was wonderful to work with. We had so much fun collaborating with him on creating the perfect wedding ceremony. He really listened to what we wanted and provided us with great ideas for different rituals to incorporate into our ceremony that provided so much additional meaning. He is a knowledgeable professional who is outstanding at what he does.

We appreciate all the support you gave us through the entire process. We thought the ceremony was beautiful and very well put together. Your diligence in reaching out to so many folks was so appreciated. The ceremony was very heartwarming and it gave me peace hearing from all those whose lives were affected by our son. Thank you very much. Many of our friends and family said it was the most beautiful service they had ever attended.

Kevin recently helped plan and officiate a celebration of life ceremony for my husband who recently passed away. I had no experience with a celebrant previously so I did not know what to expect. Kevin assuaged any concerns I may have had during our very first meeting. I knew my family and I were in the right hands. In every step of planning for and undertaking the ceremony, Kevin displayed great care, sensitivity and respect. My family and I felt very comforted by his kind presence and the loving guidance that he provided.
