Hello and welcome. I’m a freelance funeral director & celebrant, writer, speaker and facilitator, passionate about helping us reconnect with death as a natural, meaningful part of life.

My Approach: Rewilding Death

I believe in bringing death back to life – engaging with our mortality, our death rites and our grief work. Rewilding Death means:

  • Remembering our place in the great cycle of life and death here on Earth

  • Revering and restoring nature as our source of healing, belonging and awe

  • Reclaiming and reinventing our death rites with meaningful, personalised ceremonies

How I Can Help

As a funeral director & celebrant, I create contemporary, eco-friendly ceremonies that honour both the person and our planet. Whether you're planning ahead, facing an imminent loss or seeking ways to mark other significant life transitions, I offer compassionate guidance rooted in nature's wisdom.

Beyond funerals, I love sharing my ideas and having conversations about all things death – through writing, speaking and workshops.

You can listen to me discussing a healthy attitude to death on BBC Radio 4’s Moral Maze.

Funerals

I can support through the whole cycle, from the end of someone’s life through to the funeral arrangements and celebration. I look after everything personally, giving as much or as little support as you want.

Other rituals & ceremonies

Whatever you’re celebrating, honouring or processing, I’ll work closely with you to create simple rituals or a fuller ceremony,

About me

I’ve been a writer for over two decades, contributing to national magazines and newspapers, journals, charity websites and more. In 2015, needing support in my own life, I began working with plant medicines and shamanic practices, which led me to train as a goddess-priestess in Glastonbury. We learned rituals to honour life’s gateways, and I was especially inspired by those around death and other endings. I started by facilitating death cafes, then trained as a soul midwife (similar to a death doula) at the Soul Midwives School, as a celebrant at the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants, and as a holistic funeral director with award-winning funeral director, Holly Lyon-Hawk.

I’m an environmental activist and co-founder of a community climate hub, and the natural world is at the heart of everything I do. Nothing can bring solace like nature, and I work with earth-based rituals as a way of helping us deepen our connection with the natural world, finding support in grief and motivating us to look after our precious planet.

I live in Kingston-upon-Thames (with my two gorgeous cats) and arrange funerals throughout London, Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex and Kent. With my other services, I can often support virtually and may be able to travel to you.
