Spiritual Companion/Officiant

I am ordained interspiritual minister with the Bancroft Centre for Awakening Spiritual Growth. Through my ministry Anamchara Spiritual Connections I provides compassionate companionship on life's journey through all the seasons of living and dying.

I am a Registered Early Childhood Educator with over 30 years experience in the field of Early Childhood Intervention, and Family Services. I am the Co-Founder and Director of Ryan's Hope, a non-profit organization that advocates for and supports those living with mental illness, substance use issues, and experiencing homelessness. I am a fierce mental health advocate with much lived experience with grief and trauma. I am a trained grief faciltator with a passion for supporting people on their end of life, grief, and healing journeys.

I balance out the heaviness of this work by presiding over the happy celebrations of life including baby naming ceremonies, house blessings, weddings, and vow renewals.

The ancient Celts had a word—anamchara, meaning ‘soul-friend’. It was used to describe ‘one who walks with you’ through every season of life offering wisdom, support, encouragement, and guidance. My goal is to offer this type of support to those in our community dealing with grief, loss and trauma.

As an Anamchara I look forward to accompanying you through the seasons of your life.
