For families of all shapes, sizes and children of all ages: A naming ceremony can be adapted to suit different circumstances, joint celebrations, to mark the blending of new step-families, to welcome adopted children and to mark a coming of age.
Every name holds a story, a hope, a legacy, a whisper of the future. A Humanist naming ceremony is more than just a celebration: it's a beautiful heartfelt way to welcome your newest member into your family, friendship group and community - their circle of love.
Deeply personal and unique: a ceremony that reflects your family's values, beliefs, culture and heritage.
Inclusive and Joyful: gather everyone who will play a part in your child's life - parents, siblings, grandparents and chosen guide-parents to pledge their love, support and well wishes.
A lasting memory: we craft a meaningful, precious ceremony to treasure, focussed entirely on welcoming your child with love, care and attention.
Let's work together to create a day that's as unique and wonderful as the little one it honours.
A naming story begins with a conversation. I'm here to help you create a ceremony you'll treasure and a welcome as warm and caring as your love. Let's talk
3 simple steps

2. We agree to work together, sign a contract to secure the date and start planning the best naming ceremony you can imagine.
3. Naming ceremony day. I’ll be there early, by your side to ensure it's everything you want and more
Me in a nutshell ... I
* live in South West London and enjoy walking in the abundant green spaces it has to offer

* love music, literature, art, dance, film & opera
* believe storytelling is a fundamental form of creative expression - essential, enriching and helps connect us with others
* adore cityscapes, the hustle & bustle of city life + time in natural landscapes, seascapes, tranquility
