Celebrant Mentoring Sessions
Limited availability
Being a funeral celebrant is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world – but it, at times can be one of the most daunting.
There is so much more to it than writing a script. Even if you have completed a funeral celebrant course, it’s still may feel very daunting and overwhelming and you don’t know where to start. Through my podcast “Deadly Serious Conversations” I am passionate about educating others on how to do death better. I am also passionate about mentoring funeral celebrants to give them the confidence they need to be a wonderful celebrant while lifting the standards of professionalism in the industry.
Whatever stage of your funeral celebrant career you are at, I would love to help you. I am an open book and I’m excited to share and guide through any areas you need help with.
I have been a celebrant for the past 14 years. I have conducted 100’s of funeral and marriage ceremonies. In that time, I have learned so much as a funeral celebrant. I have grown, evolved and changed. I have been invited to speak at celebrant conferences, and the Melbourne Writers Festival. I have attended workshops, and gained experience that I would love to pass onto you. Whether you are just starting out or an establish funeral celebrant, there is a mentoring session suitable for you.
We are invited into family’s lives at their most vulnerable and we owe it to them and ourselves, to be the best we can be.
Being a celebrant can be lonely and isolating so it’s important to surround yourself with people who inspire and support you.
But the road doesn’t have to be a lonely, uphill battle. Why make all the mistakes yourself, when you can find guidance and education from someone who has walked the path you want to walk but knows all the shortcuts and potholes to avoid?
I’m only taking on 1 mentoring session per month. If you are interested in booking, please get in touch via the form below.
