My name is Julie, and I am a professionally trained Celebrant with the International College of Professional Celebrants.

I live in Bournemouth and love living by the coast. Seeing the sea and walking along the beach truly lifts the spirits and makes me realise how lucky I am to have such areas of beauty around me.

Before becoming a Celebrant I spent twenty years as a coach and mentor to apprentices. I supported them with the academic requirements of their apprenticeships and helped give them the best start to their careers.

I have successfully achieved the NOCN qualification in Civil Celebrancy and am also a qualified counsellor.

As a Celebrant, I have found a vocation which lends itself to my natural empathy and ability to interact well with people. I have worked with families and discussed their requirements with them in order to ensure that their ceremonies are totally bespoke and truly reflect their wishes.

Whatever occasion you are commemorating or celebrating, I would be delighted to work with you to create and deliver a memorable, personal ceremony that is delivered with love, creativity and care.
