FAMILIES & PERSONAL MILESTONES Baby Namings, Adoptions, Step Families, Coming of Age, Graduations, House Blessings, Pet Adoptions Marking the milestones in your life and the life of your family is an important way to acknowledge change and a great way to grow together. It’s also a chance for all the children and adults involved to add their unique expressions and begin to define their family unit. Every culture has a ceremony to name and welcome a new child. I am happy to help you design this joyful occasion in a way that is most meaningful to you. This is also an opportunity for all the members of your family to express their own tributes in their own voices. Of the 50% of couples who wed more than once, many already have families. Let me help you create a special ceremony to celebrate your new family. This is a great opportunity for everyone involved to be included and begin building a new family unit together. Coming of age ceremonies mark the passage from childhood into adulthood and provide a link between generations. Let me help you create a ceremony that allows children and adults to communicate knowledge and wisdom in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Together we can creatively include meaningful symbols and mementos from both the child’s and the parent’s lives and weave them into the ceremony. We can also honor mentors and special family members like a stepfather, grandmother, and sibling or maybe even the family pet. Personal and family transitions like graduations and new homes are times to celebrate. Let me help you design a ceremony that best expresses your joys and challenges. It’s a wonderful way to share these events with your loved ones.
