Welcome

A middle aged man grapples with his purpose in life... A mixed faith couple want to honour their backgrounds in a non traditional wedding ceremony... A young woman feels estranged from her religion but wants to deepen her connection to God...

As an Interfaith Minister my work involves responding to the spiritual needs of people from all faiths - and none. This can take many forms, from life-cycle ceremonies and healing rituals, to guided retreats, and tools for personal and spiritual growth and transformation.
At the heart of what I do is the belief that there are many paths leading to the Divine source of all life. This source has many names but only One divine essence. Any religion or spiritual path can connect us to that source and each is worthy of respect and acceptance.

What I offer

Personalised lifecycle ceremonies

Ceremony is a powerful way to honour life transitions (birth, marriage, death, retirement, new beginnings) in ways that are meaningful for those people involved. My role is to help you create something that reflects your heartfelt aspirations and values.

Healing rituals

The focus of a healing ritual is to bring about peace of mind by letting go of fear, past judgements and the need to suffer. It can address loss, illness, and endings, and involve a group or an individual.

Spiritual counselling

Whatever your religious tradition, spiritual counselling helps you access your inner wisdom enabling you to return to the truth of who you are, heal wounds, and open to the love and peace which is our true nature.

Transformation Game®

A facilitated board game which enables you to discover more about yourself. In particular, how you create life experiences, your reactions to them, and how you might bring about changes to realise the best and highest in your life.

Creative retreats

A chance to unwind, relax and reconnect with your divine essence through creativity (no skills required) periods of silence, prayer, and time in nature. Located in quiet, beautiful surroundings, people of all faiths are welcome.

Workshops

Funerals to die for!

Increasingly people are wanting a greater say in what happens to them when they or a loved one dies. The traditional style funeral is being replaced by more personal, joyfilled ceremonies that honours the life of a loved one.

Funerals to die for! helps you create the kind of ceremony you would like for yourself - or a loved one. Emphasis is on creativity (no skills required) using collage, clay, journalling, time in nature and sharing.

Topics include:

  • creating a heartfelt ceremony
  • writing a eulogy
  • saying goodbye to a loved one
  • dealing with authority figures
  • green burials
  • making the rest of your life really count

About Me

Artist, wordsmith, public speaking coach, NLP practitioner and former Area Governor of Toastmasters International, with a 20-year career in the business world, including public relations, sales and management development. I come from a Liberal Jewish background.

Now, as an interfaith minister, I enjoy helping people mark key stages and transitions in their life, explore what it means to be human, and serve as a travelling companion along the spiritual road.

My passion lies in bringing joy and healing into a world that can seem fragmented and chaotic at times.
