Ministerial Services

On the Summer Solstice in 1992, I became a licensed, Ordained SHES (Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards) Minister because it provided me with the legal status I sought without limiting me to any particular religious doctrine. This allows me the freedom to create ceremony for individuals based on their Spirituality, and to include a sense of Spirit without being dogmatic.

I specialize in Rite of Passage Ceremonies. A Rite of Passage is a significant event that indicates a transition from one life phase to another. I customize your ceremony to meet your specific needs and the needs of your family.

I have been privileged to create and officiate over 100 weddings, and countless coming of age, menopause, Croning, significant birthday, death, memorial, funeral, house blessing, baby blessing, renaming, divorce and opening and closing ceremonies for individuals and large organizations, such as The Women of Wisdom Foundation. Perhaps my greatest joy was officiating at my own parents' 50th wedding anniversary when they renewed their vows!

Contact me about your ceremonial needs. The following is a list of the different types of rituals I can provide. If your need is not addressed on this list, I’ll create a ceremony for you!
