16. DO YOU HOLD HANDFASTING CEREMONIES?
I do indeed. Couples often choose to include the ritual of handfasting in their elopement, wedding, commitment, marriage blessing and vow renewal ceremonies here on Skye. I love how this ritual of binding your hands embodies your...

15. ELOPING TO SKYE - HOW LONG SHOULD WE PLAN TO BE ON THE ISLE OF SKYE?
As long as possible! Seriously... If you're coming to Skye as part of a wider trip to Scotland, spend as much time as possible here. The island is likely...

14. ELOPING TO SKYE - WHERE DO WE START?
I always say start with the date! Before we do anything else, let's make sure I can do the date you're hoping for. Even if it's still a bit up in the air because you're waiting on other providers, e.g. photographers and pipers, to know when they're available; even if it's one of two dates or within a specific week when you first contact me...

Effortless Meditation and a Neurodivergent Brain
I taught Kerry Effortless Meditation in Whitstable back in November 2014 when I was travelling around the UK in a mobile library bus with my family.
Today I caught up with her.
We talked about her experience of effortless meditation as well as... eing able to connect to the parts of ourselves that are not the busy brain... about not being our thoughts... home coming, self acceptance and self love... our books... knicker drawers... and today being the luckiest day of the

13. WE DON'T WANT TO MENTION GOD, BUT CAN WE HAVE SOMETHING SPIRITUAL?
Absolutely! Spiritual and Earth based ceremonies feel like my specialism.
You don't need to invoke God... you might call upon the elements... or the directions... the sun and the moon... the Goddess... Great Spirit... the mountains, sea and stars... the ancestors... the guides and guardians...the Presence of Love...

12. CAN WE READ POEMS TO ONE ANOTHER?
Of course! That would be beautiful! If poetry is how you express your love for one another, please include your favourite poems. I've had couples read poems, adapt poems, write their own poems and prayers, read song lyrics to one another and listen or dance to meaningful music or music with heartfelt lyrics...

HONOURING A BELOVED TEACHER
I went to an online Memorial for my beloved teacher, Nicola, making an altar of her order of service, a candle, and a pine cone (collected and shared in ritual, by her close women friends).
During the online ceremony, I was squeezing the pinecone without realising, which unbeknowns, to me, released all the seeds. I had never really considered the seeds of a pinecone! somehow, had thought the whole cone was a seed! But there they were, those tiny seeds... the beginning of

FROM DARK TO LIGHT
For a long time, I wanted a definite truth. Without it, I felt anxious, unsettled in both mind and heart. I searched, questioned, explored, and hoped that one day I would arrive at a final answer, a place of certainty where all my questions would be resolved...

Gathering Women in Circle is my Purpose
I'm deeply moved, teary and overflowing with love and gratitude for the women who trusted me to hold them today... who showed up in their fullness and beauty... who put themselves first, just for a few hours... put themselves at the centre of their lives. Nine women. Nine months of sacred connection. I wonder what we'll journey through together. Perhaps birth, death and everything in between. Who will we be at the end of it? Who knows?! All I know for sure is we'll be riche

TWIA UK Wedding Celebrant of the Year
I felt like I'd been transported to an alternate reality. From the wilds of Skye, barefoot in nature, holding intimate elopement ceremonies, to all the glitz & glamour of the #TWIA UK Awards! There were stilt walkers with wings, indoor fireworks, magicians, a red carpet, an illustrator, a casino & the most fabulous array of glittering outfits! It was magical & a LOT! Mostly I just wandered around in awe 😆 photo credits @mattrockprophoto and @colinlaveryphoto As the award
