Hello, I’m Gill
Love brought me from Northumberland to East Clare in 2000. My husband is a Galway man, and we settled down in the village of Feakle to raise our family.
What I love in life is embracing my creativity. I like nothing more than a walk in nature – the beautiful bogland or forestry trails nearby and then sitting down and writing a poem or a short story.
I love movement and dance. I love the simple pleasures of a good cup of coffee and a slice of homemade cake!

WHAT IS AN
INDEPENDENT CELEBRANT?
As an Independent Celebrant I have the freedom to create a Ceremony founded on your values, beliefs, and way of being. We are not limited by the boundaries of a faith-based approach, nor are we confined to venues or places that have to be registered for legal requirements (as is the case for the legal element of a marriage).
For all of life’s milestones – births, marriages and deaths, there is a requirement by law to register the event. All the information you need about how to register a birth, death or marriage can be found HERE
I do not carry out the administrative registration of a birth, a death, or a marriage.
What I offer is the opportunity to bring Ceremony, celebration and meaning to those milestone events. I offer Naming Ceremonies, Wedding Ceremonies and Celebration of Life Ceremonies.
WANT AN EXTRA DUST OF SPARKLE…?
I have a talent, it’s a beautiful thing,
It’s not that everyone listens
when I start to sing.
No, it’s a talent I have
to say things in rhyme,
To capture a moment and
help it to shine.
I grew up listening to nursery rhymes and it is as though rhyming couplets are in my bones. For many years I have written rhyming stories to perform at retirements and other celebrations. I can create part of your Ceremony as a poem that is printed as a little book, including photographs of your choice. A bespoke gift, and truly original memento of your special day.
