wedding minister and officiant and ceremony writer

About

I worked as a nurse/ counselor in settings as varied as children psychiatry to dementia care. All the while I was nursing I was also writing poems, short stories and even a memoir. After so many years in nursing I changed paths and was ordained as an interfaith minister. I began presiding over weddings on Cape Cod and felt that I had come home to my true calling. Now as a wedding celebrant/ officiant at Soulful Wedding Ceremonies I get such a kick out of hearing love stories. I love meeting so many magnificant couples who want their wedding ceremony to reflect the love they have for each other. Call or contact me and we will put together a wedding ceremony that is meaningful, memorable and fun too!
