Honouring Life’s Transitions with Compassion and Creativity

Hi, I’m Stephanie

a celebrant, grief coach, and ceremonialist dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s pivotal moments with care, meaning, and connection.

Whether you’re celebrating a new chapter, honouring a loved one’s memory, or seeking healing through ritual, I’m here to guide you in creating ceremonies that reflect your unique story.

Ceremonies Rooted In Empathy & Collaboration

My love of cycles and ritual deepened during the years I lived in Bali—a place where community and ceremony are beautifully woven into everyday existence. There, small daily offerings and elaborate community festivals taught me how ritual connects us to each other, to the land, and to ourselves. Witnessing the way the Balinese people honour each transition, from the simplest sunrise to the most meaningful life passages, gave me a new reverence for marking change with intention.

These lessons continue to shape my work today. I love uncovering the transcendent meaning beneath the everyday, because I believe there is so much magic in the mundane. This fascination with what brings us into conversation with the deeper layers of life is at the heart of my approach. Whether I am creating a ceremony or coaching a client, my goal is to help people live their stories fully.

My Philosophy

My work is rooted in a simple belief: that we can find meaning, comfort, and connection by honouring the natural rhythms of life. I hold space for all traditions and focus on the power of beauty, kindness, forgiveness, acceptance, and love.

This path has led me to a practice built on three core pillars:

Compassion
I approach every person and ceremony with deep empathy, creating a safe and supportive space for your journey. Whether you are navigating loss or celebrating a new chapter, I am here to listen with an open heart.

Creativity
Each ceremony is a unique reflection of the stories it celebrates. We will work together, blending meaningful traditions with personal touches to create a tribute as individual as the life it honours.

Connection
Life’s most profound transitions are opportunities to connect—with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. My work is dedicated to offering a space for this deep reflection, helping you find meaning and belonging.

““I cannot speak more highly of Stephanie. She has a deeply empathetic soul that enables her to connect with you through her kindness, understanding and sensitive nature. I can honestly say that without her at this time in my life, I would be feeling immensely lost in a world of intense emotions. ”

— Jess

My work is built on a foundation of over 20 years of dedicated practice and more than 2,000 hours of formal training in both Western and non-Western healing modalities. As a lifelong student, I am deeply committed to my personal and professional growth, which allows me to hold a safe, informed, and compassionate space for the families and individuals I serve.

My path has been shaped by a wide range of experiences, from running successful wellness businesses in the UK and Bali to training with some of the most respected names in the fields of mindfulness, yoga, and ceremony. This rich background has provided me with a unique and integrated approach as a funeral celebrant, grief coach, and meditation teacher.

Ways To Work With Me

Ceremony invites us to create rites and rituals that resonate with our unique paths, whether as individuals, couples, or communities. When these rituals hold personal meaning, they unlock the power of ceremony, allowing it to flourish in our lives and bring our intentions to fruition.

Whether it's the start of a new chapter, a life transition, a reflection on nature's cycles, a need for healing, a personal commitment, or a time of mourning, every experience carries the potential for meaning. Through ceremony, these moments can be honoured, integrated, and healed, creating space for reflection, growth, and connection.
