For more than thirty years, I have practised and taught what was once known as Spiritual Healing and is now more commonly referred to as Energy Healing.
For me, spirituality is found in the quieter moments -walking through the forest, meditation, a gong bath, feeling the warmth of the sun, watching the moon rise, listening to the wind in the trees, and becoming still.
My ceremonies are never about my beliefs, they are about the couple’s beliefs, values and wishes. Humanist, Christian, spiritual, pagan, interfaith or no particular belief at all are all welcome.
I won’t teach my students what to believe, but I will help them understand the meaning behind Handfasting so they can create ceremonies authentic to the people in front of them.
A life of teaching, creativity, craftsmanship, design, coaching,
healing, nature and people – all the chapters have led here. Nothing has been wasted.
Every experience has prepared me for the next.
I began my journey as a secondary school teacher, specialising in Needlework & Embroidery and Religious Studies, a foundation in people, creativity and meaning.
I moved into the corporate world as a trainer and mentor, sharing knowledge, building confidence and supporting others to grow.
My love of textiles, craft and design
led me to soft furnishings and interior design expressing creativity, beauty and craftsmanship in everyday spaces.
A deepening call towards coaching, healing and personal growth opened my heart further, helping people find confidence, connection and a more meaningful way of living.
All of these experiences have now come together in my work as a celebrant and handfasting specialist creating and holding meaningful, unique ceremonies for modern celebrants.
A rich and varied journey of teaching, celebrating and empoweri
Sharing knowledge, building confidence.
Meaningful ceremonies. Lasting memories.
Equipping others to create beautiful ceremonies.
Handfasting is wonderfully versatile. There’s no single “right” way only what feels right for each
couple. This Masterclass gives you the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to create meaningful Handfastings,
in a way that feels authentic to you and the couples you serve.
Learn from real Handfasting ceremonies, with authentic examples, insights and stories from my own experience.
You’ll learn how to adapt Handfasting for all
couples, all beliefs and all styles so you can create something truly personal and unforgettable.
It’s not about copying a script, but understanding the history, symbolism and structure so you can create Handfastings with confidence, in your own words and authentic style.
Whether you’re a deeply spiritual celebrant or conduct traditional white weddings, the practical skills are the same. Handfasting belongs in every celebrant’s toolkit.
The intention is not to create copies of Glenda. It is to help celebrants understand what they are doing well enough to develop their own confident and authentic way of doing it.
Every ceremony, every couple and every conversation teaches me something new. I’m naturally curious and I love reading, researching, listening to podcasts, attending webinars, joining celebrant retreats and exploring new ideas.
Learning doesn’t have a finishing line. I’m also inspired by ancient sites, stone circles, woodlands, ritual, symbolism and nature.
The Masterclass collection will continue to grow with additional workshops and specialist areas, so there is always more to discover.
I’m here to support, inspire and share what I’ve learned, so you can create meaningful ceremonies with confidence.
If you have a question, would like to learn more about the masterclass, or simply want to say hello, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s keep the conversation going and continue building a kinder, more connected world through ceremony.
Empowering heart-led
women to navigate life’s changes,
reconnect with themselves, and
create a life they love.
