About me
I’m based in Geelong, with a life rich in family, friendships, travel, adventure, and good food and wine.
My professional background spans teaching, park management, and 20 years of running a leading consultancy, Kismet Forward.
Through that work, I specialised in community engagement, facilitation and evaluation — supporting people to have their voices heard in often complex, emotional and overwhelming situations.
Listening deeply, holding space, and shaping meaning from many perspectives became central to how I work.
Today, that same skill set sits at the heart of my celebrant practice. My focus has shifted to working with families and individuals at a more personal, intimate level — guiding people through life’s significant moments with care, clarity and respect.
I hold a Certificate IV in Celebrancy from The Gordon TAFE and bring those same skills of facilitation, listening and story-gathering to my celebrant work.
My approach is warm, thoughtful and collaborative. By listening closely to who people are, what they value, and the stories that have shaped them, I create ceremonies that feel genuine, meaningful and deeply grounded.
