Testimonials:

A Baby Welcoming and naming ceremony:
‘With a deep love of nature but with no particular religious faith we felt unsure how to celebrate the arrival of our son, Adam. With Jean’s imaginative guidance we created a beautiful ceremony which took place in our cottage garden beneath the willow tree. Everyone wrote wishes for Adam on cotton flags and tied them to the willow tree. Jean suggested we ask special friends to be guardians to Adam for Male Youth, Wisdom, Creativity and Spirituality. A day full of truly wonderful memories thank you Jean’ - Carrie & Brian Cort

A Wedding:
‘Thank you so much for officiating at our wedding. You have been fantastic, helping us to develop ideas and enabling us to have our day our way! Your input and guidance has been brilliant, we can’t thank you enough!’ - Helen & James

Testimonial:

An ash scattering ceremony:
‘Jo, Roger, Felicity and I all want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you’ve done for us. You made the day complete with your wisdom and kindness. So many people have been thanking us by email and letter, it’s been quite overwhelming. Mum and Dad would be proud.’ - Anna
