The backstory

My auntie Nellie’s funeral was a disappointment. They called her Helen. I didn’t even know that was her name. Her tribute was lacklustre. She never was. She deserved better. I went home and bought the domain Final Fling. I innovated this platform for end of life planning. It won national awards.

I realised weddings needed to change too to be a better fit for a changing world, making sure my LGBTQIA+ family was seen. I founded the Scottish Humanist charity, A Quiet Revolution. I trained a network of diverse celebrants to support the charity. I’m one of them too. Together we aim to help change the world… one act of human kindness at a time.

What began as a passion project has evolved into something much bigger than me. I’m so glad for all that I’ve learned, all that I’ve done, all that I’ve grown and now, the legacy I’m leaving behind as let go of the reins.

As a Humanist celebrant, I help create and conduct ceremonies to mark important life milestones.

I bring a basket of professional skills, qualifications and experience to the party - communication, consulting, event management, counselling and coaching.

“We feel so lucky to have met you. It was really special to have someone with such heart and personality lead the ceremony. People are still raving about how brilliant you were, how personal it was. Simply perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
