My work is all about love! I’ve spent the last thirteen years offering emotional and spiritual support through coaching, spiritual care, retreats, teaching, storytelling and community building. My commitment to crafting rituals and bringing people together comes from a deep love and celebration of being alive. I’ve supported hundreds of people through my coaching business, Be With, as well as through leadership roles in community organizations, non-profits and religious spaces. I’m an ordained and licensed non-religious minister, and hold an inclusive and expansive understanding that recognizes the sacred humanity of all people, all traditions and nature. I am elated to be merging my interests in intentional living, relationships, spirituality and storytelling through Be With Weddings.
My pre-marital coaching is informed by emotionally focused therapy, attachment theory, Gestalt psychotherapy, and the work of Rob Bell, Brené Brown, Kristin Neff, Sue Johnson and Melody Beattie. My storytelling and officiating is playful, intimate, and custom curated to suit the shape, size and tone of your celebration.
Integrity is one of my core values, and I do my best to work in an anti-oppressive, intersectional, feminist, sex positive, fat positive, poly & kink positive, non-ableist and inclusive way.
