A welcome with heart
A naming ceremony is a meaningful alternative to a traditional christening and can welcome a newborn, an older child or an adopted child into the wider family community.
Naming & adoption ceremonies
A personal welcome can honour a child, their name, their story and the community of people who will walk beside them.
A naming ceremony is a meaningful alternative to a traditional christening and can welcome a newborn, an older child or an adopted child into the wider family community.
Your ceremony may include personal vows, promises, hopes, wishes, guide parents, grandparents, trusted friends, symbolic rituals, candle lighting, memory boxes or sand blending.
I spend time getting to know your family, your values and the story behind the name you have chosen, then shape a ceremony that feels warm, personal and full of belonging.
A gentle first conversation
Time to gather stories and details
A ceremony written around you
Careful edits before the day
We begin with an informal conversation so you can ask questions and see whether I feel right for your ceremony.
We meet somewhere comfortable to gather stories, memories, hopes and the details that matter.
I shape your words, readings, music, rituals and memories into a personal ceremony.
You receive a draft so we can make careful amendments before the day.
On the day, I bring a calm presence and guide the ceremony with warmth and care.
If you'd like to chat about a ceremony, I'd love to hear from you. A friendly, no-obligation conversation is the perfect first step.
