Hello

I'm Gail

I am passionate about the role of ritual and ceremony to help navigate, record, and celebrate life - from the big occasions down to the small.


Why is this my passion? 

It all started when I became interested in death and dying when I got diagnosed with cancer.  After I'd finished all the active treatment I completed a course on Rituals, Rites, and Ceremonies and followed that up with Death Doula training.  In 2024,  I took this interest and study further and I completed training to become a celebrant to officiate weddings (including legally marry a couple in Scotland), funerals, living wakes, divorce ceremonies, love declarations, end of treatment celebrations or whatever you want to make magical. 


I believe that ceremonies and rituals offer us a gateway into acceptance or legacy or locking a moment into our memory.   They are a way to bring community together, to realise that we are not alone.  I am an advocate for conversation about emotions and life events and ceremonies can support us with those conversations.


Ceremony and ritual done well fill our souls, hearts, bodies, and mind.  I pride myself in approaching each ceremony or ritual I write or lead with this belief.  This means I work hard to make you feel seen and heard and that you are important to me and that it is an honour for me to do this work and support you.


Connection

I know that I am leading and supporting people through change and creating a space where they are seen and heard, they are experiencing connection.  And, I use ceremony and rituals working with my body confidence clients to help them love and accept themselves as well as to celebrate what they have achieved.


Let's connect and let me help you whether that's to build your body and style confidence or the ceremony of your dreams.   I have no doubt there will be tears and laughter along the way, but I've got you. 


Much love,


Gail x

Tarot & Oracle Reading

Tarot and Oracle cards are a tool that can provide comfort, encourage self-enquiry or reflection, or invite alternative perspectives to a situation.  I find them helpful tools to encourage conversation or discussion with a person who is stuck, at a crossroad or seeking a way to engage their intuition.    I am always happy to include a tarot or oracle reading in my work if asked.
