Hello and welcome. I’m a London-based freelance funeral guide, writer, speaker and facilitator. I specialise in contemporary, eco-friendly funerals that draw on the solace of nature. I want to help us rewild death – become more comfortable talking and thinking about it, reclaim our death rites, connect with the healing power of nature and, in turn, care for this beautiful planet that gives us so much. I also offer nature-based ceremonies to mark other important life changes, and facilitate groups and workshops, including women’s circles and death cafes.

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.
