A New Life 

What brings more joy than a brand new life?  Regardless of how children enter yours, they are unique, they are special, and they bring the gift of transformation.  

Partners are transformed to parents, parents to grandparents, children to siblings and siblings to aunts and uncles. Our entire being is changed and it becomes impossible to remember life before their arrival.   

A child's arrival in our life is traditionally marked by a Baptism or Christening ceremony held in a church, however many find religious rituals are lacking personal meaning and significance and therefore skip this important rite of passage.   

​Mark the transformation by recognizing this important time in your life with a Baby/Child Welcoming or Naming Ceremony as unique and special as the new life that's entered into yours. 

After we meet, I will write and professionally officiate a custom Baby Welcoming/Naming or Adoption Ceremony that includes personal and meaningful rituals to welcome your child into the world and the lives changed with their arrival.  You have final say on every word, and the ceremony can be held anywhere you would like, from a reception hall, to your back yard.  

​Some elements and rituals that may be weaved into the ceremony are:

• the appointment of guide-parents,
• introduction of this new life to the family
• the story behind your baby's name.

​"Thank you again for the lovely Baby Welcoming Ceremony.  
We got rave reviews from our guests who are used to traditional
church baptisms so this was a big change for them. ​
​Seems we may have started a new trend!"
