I believe all beings in this wild world of ours have spirit, that we are all a part of the Web of All Things and that connection and kinship is inherent in our existence. This informs my writing, my ceremonies and every day of my life.

author

My first published book is called ‘Walk The Wheel – tales of the turning seasons’ and is a collection of eight new folk tales, inspired by the earth-based Wheel of the Year. I have also been published in various other pagan, spiritual and nature-inspired anthologies and publications.

I am the Wild Celebrant, creating and performing unique ceremonies in the Peak District I specialise in outdoor weddings and handfastings and. I work across Derbyshire, South Yorkshire, Manchester and the UK.
