Rooted Ceremonies

As a natural introvert and empath, I love creating space for others to express themselves, including the quieter voices. Over the years, I have learnt to stand on the stage, but my stage is about radiating light onto other people rather than basking in the glow myself.

I tune in and draw out other people’s ideas before I unleash my own creativity. Listening is my superpower, and my curiosity and authenticity help us get to the heart of what really matters to you.

My special touches can include hand-dried petal confetti, hosting of pre-wedding crafty gatherings for you and your close friends, broomstick making workshops (for a ‘jumping the broom ritual’), nature-inspired ritual, or even leading your audience in song.

The Rooted Ceremonies I host are about connecting deeper to ourselves, each other and the earth. This happens through the design and preparation of the ceremony and the ways that everyone present is inclusively welcomed and held.

I help you to choose, or invent rituals or other elements within your ceremony that represent you and your journeys- where you come from, the spiritual, religious or cultural frameworks that you each connect to.

We can honour your ancestors or incorporate family members, children or pets. It’s not about show or appropriation, but it’s about heart and authenticity. That in itself is beautiful, deeply moving, and creates long-lasting feelings of connection!

Oh, and I co-run a co-operatively owned lake-side indoor eco venue for micro-ceremonies for up to 20 guests.

I am a celebrant because it brings me deep joy! I love the whole process of getting to know a couple, listening to your stories and your ideas, creating your script and recording it for you so you can begin to really imagine it, and then supporting you to prepare emotionally and practically for the moment itself.

I have always felt that significant passages in life deserve to be properly acknowledged and marked in a way that feels fitting. Through my background as a mediator of conflicts, a facilitator of group processes and a nature educator, I have learnt to stand calm and rooted. I have a lot of room in my heart for other people's joys (and challenges, overwhelm, nervousness, and all the rest!).

I have been hosting ceremonies for friends and family since 2016, and trained as a celebrant in 2023. Since then I have designed and hosted a whole array of ceremonies for couples and families, across all the different stages in life (birthing and becoming parents; getting married or celebrating a complete family; ending a relationship; and celebrating the life of a loved one). I always prioritise quality over quantity.

The ceremonies I host may be indoors, or outdoors- in your back garden, in a field, a woodland or on a campsite or anywhere you like! Couples I work with usually do the legal bit separately and then come to me for a really meaningful and beautiful ceremony with all the freedom and time to make it unique, memorable and perfectly fitting.

It's important to me that any audience or guests you have feel really included and part of your ceremony too, whether that's by just making sure everyone can hear and feels comfortable, or through the things we insert into the ceremony.

Couples I work with may know exactly what they want their ceremony to feel like, but don't know how to create it, or they may be clear about what they don't want but unsure what they do want! The beauty of working together means we can tease this all out gently.
