I have four handsome sons and a beautiful stepdaughter. My husband and I are blessed to have seven grandchildren plus one on the way in June 2026. We adore them all and family is precious.

I worked for many years as a District Nurse and then moved on to study and specialise in Palliative, End of Life Care. For the last twenty-one years I have worked in Hospices. Most recently as a Clinical Director in a local Kent Hospice.

In 2025 I trained with the Academy of modern Celebrants and qualified as an Independent Funeral Celebrant. I have vast experience supporting people at one of the most vulnerable, challenging times of their lives.

Death, whether sudden or expected hits families, loved ones and friends with a raft of emotions. I have learnt over the years how to support and care for the bereaved in the most compassionate, empathetic way.

Grief is “normal” and comes in may guises, together we can explore this. To grieve you have to have loved, whether the intensive love of a spouse / partner, child, close family, or as a friend, work colleague or acquaintance. I have loved and lost… so I draw on professional and personal experience to act as a celebrant, to lead the personalised, individual celebration of life for YOUR LOVED ONE.
