A Naming Ceremony is a beautiful way to welcome new life into a family, this includes an adopted child or stepchild.  And this isn’t limited to new-borns; a child of any age can be celebrated, any milestone acknowledged.

For a blended family this Ceremony is a way of celebrating the union of everyone coming together as a new family unit. 

For parents who have experienced a neonatal death of a child, a Naming Ceremony is a tender way of gently celebrating this short life.  

Including a Symbolic Ritual in a Naming Ceremony makes for a memorable occasion.  The Unity Candle, Hand-tying or Sand Blending Ceremonies can be included or you might like to plant a tree or shrub, create a family flag with coloured ribbons, decorate a family tree with thumb and finger prints; it’s YOUR day, let your imagination guide you and we will create a bespoke ceremony that you will always remember.

Do you want to celebrate another milestone in your life?  Maybe you want to mark some significant change in your life, a transition from the past to the present.  Maybe you want to let something go and move forward into the next phase of your life.  Rituals and symbolic ceremonies can help you do that.  Explore these options with me.
