My Background
I am a Primary Teacher to trade and have 17 years experience working with children, their families and other agencies. I was seconded ten years ago to work across the city to promote health and this involved presenting at meetings and conferences, to small and large groups of adults. I have a passion for working with people and one of my key strengths as a teacher has been my abilit
y to reach out to those around me and support them in whatever way I can. Becoming a Civil Celebrant has been one of the most inspiring parts of my life to date. To work with families to celebrate the lives of those they love most is truly a privilege and honour. Embrace Funerals
The aim of my ceremonies is to provide a personal, individual ceremony which truly reflects the life of the person who has died. This may or may not have a spiritual/religious element depending on the wishes of the family. The focus of the ceremony is very clearly on the life of the deceased. I will spend time with the family discussing the person, getting to know them through their loved ones memories before crafting a service which is unique for them. The family will be as included in the service as much or little as they wish to be. I truly believe that a funeral prepared with a loving tribute for the deceased, carefully balanced with music and poetry can begin the healing process for the people left behind. I am the family’s voice and will speak from my heart on behalf of them at this difficult and emotional time. Embrace Baby Blessings and Naming Ceremonies
I offer a personal, engaging and loving ceremony to welcome your baby into your family. This will reflect the life of your family and take into account any beliefs you may have. The birth of a baby is the most special part of life and Embrace aims to make your day memorable by crafting a ceremony with words, poetry and music which will make your day extra special.
