My life’s work has been woven from many threads, all culminating in my passion for co-creating and officiating meaningful ceremonies. From studying French and Theatre at the University of British Columbia and the University of Ottawa, I developed a deep understanding of cultural practices, human expression, and storytelling—skills that now shape the ceremonies I create.

In my early career, I was immersed in theatre, training in performance, scriptwriting, and the movement-based pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq. This opened my eyes to the sacred roots of theatre and the power of ritual, leading to my interest in creating transformative experiences that connect people to life’s deeper meanings.

After marrying and while raising two daughters, I shifted to birth work, supporting families as an assistant midwife, doula, and prenatal educator. This experience naturally led me into ceremonial work, where I began co-creating and facilitating rituals such as Mother Blessings, House Blessing  and Funerals, as well as community ceremonies and memorials.

As a lay Chaplain, I expanded my work by officiating weddings, celebrations of life, memorials, and baby naming ceremonies, honouring the diverse spiritual and cultural needs of the community. My decade as Artistic Director at the Canadian Museum of Civilization further sharpened my leadership, writing, and facilitation skills, allowing me to create arts-based learning experiences.

In 2017, I became a certified Life-Cycle Celebrant through the Celebrant Institute and Foundation, and I now serve as a Learning Facilitator and Academic Director for this organization. And I work with people to craft personalized ceremonies across the life cycle from Baby Namings to Celebrations of Life and Memorials. I am also ordained with the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry and am a licensed wedding officiate in the province of Quebec.

At the heart of everything I do is a desire to use the arts to explore life’s meaning, foster human connection, and guide transformation. My passion is empowering individuals and communities to create and participate in ceremonies that honour life’s most tender and joyous milestones.
