I am a proud Humanist UK celebrant specialising in naming ceremonies - a role that fills me with joy and purpose as I help families create meaningful and memorable celebrations for their loved ones.
My journey as a celebrant stems not only from my belief in humanist principles but also from my personal experiences as a parent.
As a mother to three wonderful daughters, I’ve had naming ceremonies for each of them. These events were some of the most treasured moments in our family’s story. They were beautiful, heartfelt gatherings where we came together with friends and loved ones to celebrate the arrival of our girls, affirm our love for them, and set our intentions for the life we hoped to nurture with them. These ceremonies weren’t just milestones - they were reflections of the values, kindness, and individuality we hold dear as a family.
Having experienced firsthand how powerful and transformative a naming ceremony can be, I wanted to offer that gift to others. That’s what led me to train with Humanists UK, an organisation I deeply admire for its commitment to compassion, reason, and inclusivity. Becoming a celebrant has allowed me to combine my love for storytelling with my passion for humanist values, creating ceremonies that are uniquely tailored to the individual families.
When working with families, I strive to craft ceremonies that reflect their individuality, values, and dreams for their children. Whether the setting is a garden, a village hall, or a family home, I ensure every detail resonates with meaning and warmth. I take great care in getting to know you, your story, and your vision for the day, weaving these elements into a ceremony that truly feels like yours.
As someone who has walked the same path as many of the families I work with, I understand how precious and fleeting these moments are. It’s my privilege to help make them extraordinary. A naming ceremony isn’t just a celebration of a name—it’s a celebration of love, connection, and the promise of a bright future.
If you’re looking for a celebrant to bring warmth, creativity, and a deeply personal touch to your naming ceremony, I’d be delighted to help. Let’s create a day that celebrates love, community, and the uniqueness of your family.
