I am a down to earth, attentive, experienced, professional, certified Life-Cycle Celebrant® who believes your wedding, or other ceremony, should be about you and will devote myself to your needs to make sure that the ceremony we create together is about your choice and your voice.

In June of 2005 I graduated from the CelebrantUSA Foundation & Institute after completing a nine month celebrancy course with special emphasis on ceremonies of healing and transition. I also obtained an ordination from the ULC to ensure my legal standing as a wedding officiant. It has always been my mission in life to provide people with the tools and knowledge needed to create ceremonies of love, laughter, honor, and healing within their lives and my practice as a ceremony celebrant has given me the opportunity to learn and to grow in this process so that I can serve the needs of others more fully. For this, for all the clients I have the pleasure to work with, and for the instructors and graduate family of CelebrantUSA, I am forever grateful!

For several years I was the only certified Life-Cycle Celebrant® in the state of Missouri, then my wonderful celebrant family grew by two more graduates there with Lamira Martin and Ruth Hasser. I am happy to say that my work as a celebrant in Missouri introduced me to some of the most loving, creative, and often spiritually enlightened people of many different backgrounds and walks of life and I had the pleasure of officiating many ceremonies, each distinctly unique. In April of 2010 I relocated with the love of my life to Calabasas, California and I am absolutely thrilled to be in an ethnically and culturally diverse area just 15 minutes from Malibu Beach!

I believe fully in the right of all human beings to hold their own moral, ethical, and spiritual beliefs without interference or intimidation from others and I am also a practicing Reiki Master; I am mixed-blood Cherokee and follow the spiritual teachings of my people to the best of my ability; I am also honored to be entrusted with the beliefs of my adopted families of the Lakota and Skidi-Pawnee Nations; I do not sell these beliefs nor my own traditional customs and rituals; My choice to become a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant® is based on the desire to help each individual discover and create Ceremonies that reflect your beliefs and values, not mine.

My background includes Bachelor's Degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice from Drury University in Springfield, MO; More than 12 years in real estate sales and leasing; And a devotion to volunteer work in the areas of domestic violence, prisoner and probationer rehabilitation, and the support of multi-cultural diversity programs and services.
