About me

I was born and raised in London, spent over thirty years living in Paris, and returned to the UK in 2026 — a moment that prompted me to reflect on how I wanted this next chapter of my working life to look.

 

I’ve worked for many years as an actor, writer-producer-director, so listening closely, shaping stories, and bringing many moving parts together calmly and thoughtfully are central to what I do. When I began thinking about using those skills in a more direct and supportive way, becoming a celebrant felt like a natural fit.

 

I’m non-denominational, but I believe deeply in the value of ceremony and ritual at important moments — whether marking the start of a marriage or saying goodbye to someone you love. My approach is calm, warm, thoughtful, and flexible, shaped around what feels right for you. And, if bringing humour to your ceremony is appropriate, this is something I'm able to do with ease.

I can offer bilingual ceremonies in English and French - the latter spoken with a (reportedly) charming English accent.

 

If you’re planning a wedding, navigating a loss or anything in between, and are looking for someone organised, reliable, steady, supportive, and easy to talk to, I’d be very happy to hear from you.
