Hi, I'm Emma

“Live life fiercely and fearlessly.  

Wake up and grow up to this big beautiful and bold adventure called your life.  

Welcome to finally living it.”

That’s how I aspire to live — and how I guide others to do the same.  

Through expressive, joyful, and deeply personal ceremonies, I help people celebrate the full spectrum of life — from birth to death, and the whole adventure in between.

Just incase you're interested this is my professional blurb:

Psychotherapist and Facilitator, 

BA (Hons) Drama | PGCE | MEd Psychology | MBACP | MBPS |

Member of Humanists UK | International Association of Trauma Practitioners

My professional journey spans education, psychotherapy, and creative facilitation.  

From teaching and therapeutic work to my ex role as a Supervising Hoffman Facilitator and Grief Educator, my path has always centred around helping people grow, heal and connect.

After creating and leading my mum's natural and deeply personal funeral, I trained as a Humanist Celebrant — a vocation that weaves together my creativity, compassion and belief in living honestly and joyfully.

“For years I was adept at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Now I live — mostly — a joyful life. Through celebrancy, I share what I’ve learned about honouring every part of being human: birth, love, loss, and everything between.”

Whole Human Happenings: marking life’s moments with heart, meaning and joy.

HUMANIST CEREMONIES™ is the network of more than 550 celebrants, trained by national charity Humanists UK to a gold standard to provide memorable and meaningful humanist ceremonies to non-religious people. Operating throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, we deliver authentic, tailor-made and heartfelt ceremonies for life’s key moments. They are always inclusive and welcoming, regardless of the beliefs of those attending.

You can trust Humanist Ceremonies celebrants: We are DBS-checked, fully insured, and regularly peer reviewed for quality assurance. We are committed to a code of conduct, and have a transparent and robust complaints process in the rare case of a problem. We all pay a monthly fee to Humanists UK to further support the work of the charity, and are part of a regional network for like-minded celebrants for support and learning.

Humanist weddings

A humanist wedding ceremony is a wonderful option to celebrate your wedding in the way you choose: without religion but with meaning, and totally true to the two of you. They are uplifting and heartwarming occasions, personal to each couple to reflect your personalities and interests, and your love story. Sincere and significant, your ceremony will be crafted to create an occasion which is unique and fitting to you both.
