Kia ora, and welcome to my site. I’m Sandy, ready to help you through the big events in life.

Whatever it is, you’ll want a person who understands you. A person who gets what’s important to you; someone who’s kind and creative, and connects with you, and your friends and whānau. I’m a trained celebrant and end-of-life doula, with plenty of life experience. We’ll work together on your terms, to make sure your wishes come true.

As a celebrant, I craft and deliver a meaningful ceremony - one you or your guests can look back on in years to come with love and pride. Most importantly, it’ll be about you: your style, your songs, your way. I’m happy standing in front of hundreds of people at weddings and funerals, but if you’re after a low key tiny wedding or simple memorial, I can do that too.

As an end-of-life doula, I offer a different kind of service. I’ll guide and support you to make choices that are right for you, your people, and this precious earth. Ask me about wills and Advance Care Plans, decluttering, tidying up loose ends, leaving a legacy for your family, and sustainable body care and funerals.

Let’s get together to see if we’re a match, either face-to-face or virtually. I’m professional yet warm, always open to hearing what you want - and providing information and resources if you’re stuck for ideas.

Weddings & Civil Unions

Weddings and civil unions are the happiest times of our lives. See how I can create a beautiful ceremony for you and your partner, sharing your story - making you laugh, and probably making you cry too!

Funerals & Memorials

At the most difficult time of your life, I offer a mix of compassion and practical advice. You need as much support as you can get at this tough time, and we’ll create a funeral or memorial to celebrate the life of your friend or family member, giving them the farewell they deserve.

 

End of Life Doula

Navigating the end of life is challenging for everyone, whether the death is expected or not. Find out how I can help you and those around you to understand the death and dying process, supporting you all in practical ways, compassionately.
