I am a Glasgow native with a background in performing arts, health advocacy, and charity
leadership, I bring a calm and thoughtful approach to crafting ceremonies that reflect the unique lives, values, cultures, and beliefs of everyone I work with. My early training and career in theatre taught me the power of storytelling and presence—skills I now use to support families and communities through some of life’s most challenging, meaningful moments and milestones.
Much of my professional life has been dedicated to inclusion, compassion, and ensuring people feel seen and heard. Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked in sexual health and rights, supporting diverse communities across the UK and internationally. This experience has shaped my ability to create a safe, inclusive and supportive space for people from all walks of life.
I am committed to working closely with individuals, families and friends to co-create ceremonies, rituals, and goodbyes crafted with care and compassion that meaningfully celebrate life and honour each person’s individual identity and story.
Everyone deserves to be honoured in a way that feels authentic and true to who they are.
