About Me

I was inspired to become a Funeral Celebrant after my Grandpa passed away.
​
The officiant at his funeral did a wonderful job of crafting the ceremony in a way that reflected my Grandpa’s unique life as a cowboy and farmer as well as the quiet way he lived out his faith. 

Although I was still sad that he had passed away, the experience I had at his funeral made me feel like his life had been honoured in just the right way.

I had been feeling dissatisfied with my work in the corporate world, but I did not know what I wanted to do. With a little research I discovered a profession where I could truly make a difference - as a Funeral Celebrant.

I worked to receive my certification through the United Kingdom Society of Celebrants - a well-known and respected organization that has years of experience training and providing support for celebrants all over the world.

Now I am connecting with many families all across the Niagara Region, walking with them in their time of loss and creating beautiful ceremonies that are truly personal, meaningful and memorable.

Then came the big adventure involving two kids, a cat and a u-haul trailer filled with our belongings and a long drive across Canada to our new home in southern Ontario.

My experiences in corporate communications and in finance have forced my expressive side and my meticulous side to get along. I have had great success in being efficiently creative.

Music
There is something about music that expresses the heart like nothing else. It has the power to uplift, express deep emotion and to bring people together. I've been privileged to provide the music (vocals and piano) for many worship services, weddings and funerals over the years.
