Marrying people evolved from my public speaking and helping people create a life of intent for themselves and others. Working at Hospice at a young age helped forge me into a person who believes in living YOUR life to the fullest through all of its ups and downs with faith and intent.
Like many, I provide house blessings, vow renewal, elopements, marriages, memorials and celebrations of life.
Unique to me is my specialties in relaxation including EFT, Dr. Bach and flower essence services, mindfullness and other modalities.
I also create floral arrangements and bouquets for small and large weddings or occasions.
Recently, I have added prepare/ enrich premarital and couples counseling. Committed couples gain a deeper understanding of dynamics, personality, stress and strength and growth areas. This trusted assessment continues to be one of the most researched with over 1,200 published articles supporting its validity and reliability.​
Whether you want a short and sweet, quiet wedding or one with special touches including rituals, readings, and remembrances, I can help you craft the ceremony into your hearts content.
I also have social work training in tools for the changing face of grief and loss (including David Kessler) and was a bereavement facilitator.
It is my honor to stand with couples as they declare their love in powerful ceremony and equally an honor to remember someone’s life.
My rate may be dependent on travel and begins at $100 for elopements.
If you are a resident of Ohio, you apply for a license in the county in which you are a resident. Out of state candidates apply in the county that they will be married. Witnesses are not required or blood tests.
