Baby Blessings/Baby Namings

How wonderful to welcome your child into the world and have the blessing of  your community!   For those parents who do not feel connected to the traditional baptisms and christening ceremonies,  Baby Welcomings and blessing ceremonies are a wonderful alternative.   For interfaith families, or those seeking a secular welcoming celebration, together we will create a unique service that reflects your values and spiritual views.

Perhaps the most sacred passage of all is the birth of a child.
The purity, innocence, joy, and limitless potential that each newborn represents is a reminder of all that we are at our core. The choice to ritualize your child’s life into this world and welcome its being, in the presence of community, sets in motion the wheels of acceptance, belonging, and embracement which the newborn receives on a soul level. A highly personalized ceremony, I will work closely with you so that the ceremony reflects your values, hopes and wishes for your newborn.

Funerals/Memorials

“It is said that when someone dies, God sends down two angels. One to carry the soul up to heaven, the other to remain with the mourners.”

A loved one passing is one of the most painful and difficult times that we can encounter. My role is to give space to your grieving process and other difficult emotions that may arise, and to deliver a funeral/memorial service that honors the life and relationships of your loved one.
