MY STORY

Weddings are a joyous event. This is the celebration of beginning a new life together. I am excited to share my skills and experience as a Celebrant legally and emotionally joining your lives. As a contemporary, non biased Celebrant, I provide non-denominational services with the option of Biblical scripture. Please reach out to me with any questions or request a free consultation. My services are available in the Racine and surrounding areas.
My story is unique because my speaking and writing experience evolved from helping families by providing tribute at a time of personal loss. With compassion and respect for the end of life, I have worked with over thirty-five families over the course of the last three years. In respect of the heart, I created a personal eulogy, song selections and poems that organized their memorial service. I was proud to represent the family when it was time to speak to their loved ones. I have also been honored with the privedge of creating a future eulogy with elderly and hospice patients who want to know what will be said. My writing and speaking experience creates celebration of past life and officiating for Lifes NEW BEGINNINGS, Weddings and Wedding vow renewals.

WHAT IS A LIVING LEGACY AND WHY ITS A GREAT IDEA
IT'S MORE THAN PART OF MY BUSINESS, IT’S MY CALLING. As an experienced Funeral Celebrant and Eulogy composer, I realized many grieving families are at a loss for the right words and details of their loved one’s story. When you leave this earth, will your memories be blurred or forgotten over time? Organizing is a key to remembrance. You can provide the gift of your LIVING LEGACY to your generational survivors. I work personally with individuals composing their living legacy details. The narrative of a person’s memoirs should come from the voice of the author. You are ALIVE and have the opportunity to be the voice of your memoirs. I will be the formal transcriber of your message. I will be the guide who understands the necessary questions to ask. I would be pleased to learn your story and awaken your voice sharing your history, life lessons and significant memories. This document will be a forever reminder of how your life mattered and comfort the process of emotions to your family. THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A LIVING LEGACY ARE TREMENDOUS. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PERSON SHARING THEIR STORY.
