About
My celebrant journey has been filled with many twists and turns. From starting a family, pursuing a career, getting married twice, losing loved ones, and everything in between - I've experienced it all. Originally from South Africa, then New Zealand, I finally settled in beautiful Queensland. Sunshine Coast is home, where I live with my amazing husband Duncan and our adorable pet Misty. We married in 2018, in a park, with a handfasting and broom jumping thrown in for good measure.
