At In Safe Hands
I bring a wealth of experience from my background in education, care, and support services. Having worked with individuals facing complex life challenges - including mental health struggles, addiction, domestic abuse, and bereavement through suicide - I've developed a deep understanding of people’s unique life journeys.
In addition to being a trained celebrant, I'm also an end-of-life guide, sometimes known as a (Death Doula) offering compassionate, practical, and emotional support to those nearing death and their loved ones. This work has deepened my ability to hold space with empathy, calm, and confidence - even in life's most tender moments.
My professional training includes Mental Health Awareness, (ASIST) Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, Drug and Alcohol Support, and Domestic Abuse Awareness. These foundations equip me with the sensitivity, flexibility, and care needed to craft ceremonies that honour every story - in life, in love, and in loss.
