Born near London, raised in the Valleys of Wales. I now live in Portsmouth on the sunny South Coast of England.
I'm allergic to fir trees but don't let the numb hands hold me back! And can often be found at the allotment, paddle-boarding (weather willing), pottering about or otherwise procrastinating, or totally engrossed in a random new hobby.
But if in doubt, I can be found in a hoodie.
With small change on a decade working in the End-of-Life industry, I'm no stranger to funerals.
For 6 years, I arranged them and took care of the deceased in a local chain of funeral homes.
I then tried my hand at assessing colleagues for their funeral service diplomas.
Next, I went to work at a crematorium as their chapel attendant and relief cremation technician.
I've since retrained as a funeral celebrant.
As a funeral celebrant, my knowledge of death is invaluable to me - it allows me insight into your loved one's final physical journey.
As a human, this knowledge brings me awareness of the frailty and uncertainty of life, and gives me an appreciation of the many facets of grief.
As an individual, this knowledge helps me seek balance in and of myself, and in all around I meet.
And as one of billions, my understanding of death shows me reason to embrace, find beauty, and celebrate all the big and small things that make our lives precious and unique.
Whether you're looking to hold a funeral or a memorial ceremony for a loved one, or fancy pre-arranging your own funeral ceremony (so you can tailor every part) you can expect my understanding, compassion, best, and humour.
Based in Portsmouth. My area stretches east from Fareham to Bognor Regis. Taking in Havant, Hayling Island, Emsworth, and Chichester.
With that said, though. I am willing to travel.
I'm a certified funeral celebrant with The Celebrants Collective.
I've a diploma in funeral arranging and am a qualified cremation technician, and work closely with funeral homes and my old crematorium to keep my knowledge current.
I'm a non-practicing Death Doula and loudly promote their adage of 'Life well, die well'.
