Amy Lawson Humanist Celebrant

Friends would describe Amy as a vibrant, warm and compassionate person. She is always looking out for others and she has had a fascinating career to date. From the early days as a budding actress, performing in many different forms, to being an advocate for others within the Criminal Justice system after completing an honours degree in Criminology. Being able to understand people and learning from

them what their desires and wants are in life is a skill that motivates Amy when working. Her career, whilst varied, has always held the same running theme, helping others feel good and helping them make the most out of life, which is why the humanist philosophy sits so well with Amy. For her it’s about seeking and creating happiness in life and being compassionate and empathetic towards others. Her favourite quote is by Maya Angelou which is “try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud” and that is a great way to describe Amy! Becoming a celebrant was a natural step for Amy as she gets the opportunity to work with so many different people and feels incredibly honoured to be invited to help them create a unique personal and bespoke ceremony for their celebration whether that be for a wedding or a funeral. Amy said “After attending lots of friends humanist ceremonies, I was always captivated by how memorable they were. I remember always feeling involved in the story being told and feeling a deep sense of joy throughout the ceremony. And that is magical”

When not busy working, she loves being with her husband and two young children making lots of memories and being constantly reminded of just how hilarious little people can be! Amy is available to conduct wedding ceremonies, vow renewals and funerals in Fife, Perthshire, Tayside & Edinburgh.
