WELCOME ... and thank you for taking the time to view my website.

So you have something in your life to celebrate ... fantastic! There is so much in life worthy of celebration. Even in death, the tribute to someone is a celebration of their life.

My enjoyment in being a Celebrant is the opportunity to creatively plan and present the Ceremony that is right for you, to give you a truly fantastic memory of your day! Allow me to give you a brief overview and insight about myself.

I have a beautiful and supportive family, children and grandchildren included. Currently I’m based in the beautiful and serene coastal town of Indented Head, situated on the Bellarine Peninsula less than 30 minutes from Geelong. It is nestled between the towns of Portarlington and St. Leonards and is an amazing location, my dream “sea change” of country by the sea. Indented Head is just a hop, step and jump from the world famous Great Ocean Road with all its beauty, wonderful beaches and countryside.

During my working life I have been a Community Worker, Naturopath, held a National Management role with an international retailer, and more recently a First-Aid Trainer. I have also spent a number of years living and working interstate, including a stint in the mining industry in W.A. driving 40 ton trucks … now there’s a book in that one!

Basically I appreciate life and all it has to offer. I am very open to changes and the differences of life and people. I have always held an active interest in the community and although a cliché, I am a "people person" and this has led me to the role of Civil Celebrant. I have been actively involved as a Celebrant since 1974 when I was appointed as an Authorised Marriage Celebrant by the Attorney General’s Department.

Please continue to explore the pages of my website and do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of service to you.
