START OF LIFE CEREMONIES
Ceremonies to welcome, name and honour the newest thresholds in your family
A new life arriving. A name being spoken for the first time. A family taking a new shape. These are thresholds too — quieter than a wedding, less spoken of than a funeral, but no less worth marking with intention.
As a celebrant, counsellor and coach with over two decades of experience holding space for people at life's biggest moments, I bring genuine depth to these ceremonies — not a script pulled off a shelf, but something built entirely around your family, your story and what this particular threshold means to you.
The Ceremonies

Baby Naming & Welcoming
A heartfelt ceremony to name and welcome your child into the world, and into your community of family and friends — however that community looks for you.
£250–£300

Baby Shower Ceremony
A gentle, meaningful gathering to honour a pregnancy and the transition into parenthood, held with warmth rather than games and gifts alone.
£150–£200

Adoption Ceremony
A ceremony to mark a child's arrival into your family through adoption — honouring both the joy of this beginning and, where wanted, the fuller story that brought you here.
£250–£300

Coming of Age Ceremony
A rite of passage marking the transition from childhood toward young adulthood, built around what this threshold means in your own family and traditions.
£150–£200
A note on pricing: Travel within 30 miles of Cramlington is included in all prices above; mileage is charged beyond that. Every ceremony includes an initial consultation and a fully bespoke script written around your family. Bespoke or unusually complex ceremonies are quoted individually.
