Hi, I'm Kim

A new baby is most rewarding and important job you will ever have. Marking their arrival and welcoming them to the family is a really special occasion, and together we will create a bespoke ceremony that will reflect your family perfectly. Humanist naming ceremonies are a way to enable non-religious or mixed-faith parents to welcome their child in a way that is personal and relevant to the lives that they actually lead. It is also an acknowledgment of how important it is for a child to decide for themselves what they believe in as they grow up.

Every naming ceremony that I create and conduct is completely unique to the child and family. In essence , the ceremony is whatever you want it to be, it can have a very traditional formal feel, or be relaxed, fun and yes sometimes even a little chaotic! It can be themed or in a significant place to the family or child (outdoors or indoors).

I also conduct adoption naming ceremonies, after all what better way to mark the precious occasion of adoption, than a naming ceremony where the child takes on the new family name? These ceremonies are so beautiful, welcoming the child into the family and marking this new stage in their lives.  

Please get in touch for a chat and we can take it from there.

Humanist naming ceremonies

A humanist naming ceremony is a joyous event, and the perfect opportunity to gather friends and family to welcome your child into the world, with no reference to religion. It focuses on the child, their future and the circle of love and support around them, offering a sincere and personal alternative to a christening or other religious ceremony.
