The face behind the name

---

...When I say I'm eclectic - here's why...

My playlist can go from Sean Paul to System of a Down in one track, some days I dress all in black and other days I'm in a Biggy Smalls tee with a gold chain. I don't like to pigeon hole myself into any group which is the same for couples and their celebrant ceremonies. 

I have a strong affinity for my roots being from the Black Country and you’ll definitely hear it in my accent but don't let that put you off!. 

I'm in the process of ticking off as many countries on my world map as possible but I’m equally a home bird and love my creature comforts and being around my family and friends, especially my hubby and wonderful son.

I love vintage anything, especially those beautiful one off pieces that you find for a quid in your local charity shop. I’m a big advocate of upcycling and recycling, so you’ll see me having a good rummage in our local chaz shops for those bargs

I’m a massive Ru Paul’s Drag race fan, the LOTR trilogy is the best thing ever made, AHS is in my top 5 all time favourite seasons, I love a proper brew, pizza nights and a walk around a National Trust. 

All in all, I'm simple gal from the Black Country with a passion for celebrating love. 

I can honestly say that I’ve done a bit of everything, from working in a lab, to teaching secondary school science and to running my own cake business (which I still do - always here for the cake!) 

My first introduction to celebrants was actually at my nan’s funeral, and I was so impressed with the personal and heartfelt send off they gave for her. I had always thought of ceremonies as having to be 'official' and 'proper' but this was such a beautiful tribute to her as a person and the life she led. This had me intrigued!

I’m no stranger to public speaking and have spoken at the Royal Society of medicine amongst other events and with the arrival of my little boy, I decided to plan and lead his Naming ceremony - which I LOVED!!! 

For years since my family and friends have kept nudging me towards becoming a celebrant, and with my toes already firmly dipped in the wedding industry with wedding cakes, I thought you know what, why not?!
