Rites of Passage

Celebrating life together

Life transitions and turning points mark our development like signposts across our lives. When we intentionally turn our awareness to these moments and welcome the awe of these experiences, we can create lives that are rich and deeply meaningful.

As an interfaith minister, I steward these moments with gentleness, curiosity, and clarity to create moments that capture the beauty and wonder of life.

Planning, Organizing, Officiating

With over 15 years of pastoral care and officiating experience, I feel particularly equipped to take the stress and worry out of celebrating life’s most significant moments. I am a collaborator in creating spaces and experiences that emphasize wonder, awe, and beauty. I hold space for people to connect with themselves, those around them, and with the sacred, whatever that means to them.

I feel privileged to help people honor and mark the meaningful moments that shape our lives, including:

  • Weddings, Elopements, and Vow renewals

  • Funerals and End-of-Life Ceremonies

  • Healing and Grief Rituals

  • Uncouplings and Intentional Divorce

  • Childbirths, Child Dedications, and Naming Ceremonies

  • Coming of Age Rituals

  • Coming Out Celebrations

  • Pilgrimages

Here’s how it works:

  1. Schedule a free discovery call so we can get to know each other

  2. Each ceremony is different, so we’ll generally include:

    1. At least two 45-minute personal consultations to emphasize your input into designing a ceremony that captures your unique hopes, values, and personality.

    2. Review of the ceremony Draft

    3. Facilitating the Rehearsal, if applicable

    4. My undivided attention on the day of the ceremony

    5. A 60-minute integration call to reflect on the experience
