For who you are becoming

Every name has a story.

A welcome to the world. A new chapter. A name that feels truly yours. Let us create a ceremony that celebrates the person at its heart.

A beautiful beginning.

Bringing a child into your family is something to celebrate, through birth, adoption or a blended family. A naming ceremony gathers your people to welcome that child and the love surrounding them.

Parents, grandparents, siblings and supporting adults can make promises, share readings and music, or take part in a meaningful ritual. Most importantly, the ceremony reflects your family, your beliefs and your hopes.

“This is my name. This is me.”

Naming ceremonies are not just for children. I also create personal ceremonies for adults beginning a new chapter: a chosen name as part of a gender journey, a personal change, or simply a name that better reflects who you are today.

There is something powerful about standing alongside the people you love and saying who you are. Whatever your reason, your ceremony will be warm, personal and completely you.
