Celebrant of Life. Champion of Change. Curator of Conversations.
Helping people navigate life’s most meaningful moments through the power of conversation.
A celebrant who listens like a coach with the presence of a broadcaster, so that life’s most meaningful moments are heard, held and honoured.
Every meaningful moment begins with a conversation.
Start the Conversation
I help people navigate change and mark what matters through the power of conversation. Conversations held on air, on stage, and at life’s most private moments - trusted for years to hold space when it matters most.
As a broadcaster, interviewer, and natural listener, I’ve spent my life creating conversations that reveal, connect, and transform.
WHO I AM
Heard. Held. Honoured.
Every ceremony is a threshold. A wedding marks a life joined. A funeral marks a life remembered. A naming ceremony marks a life celebrated. And in all of them, the most important thing isn’t the script, the flowers, or the schedule - it’s you.
I help people say what really matters. I ask the questions that make you pause, reflect, and sometimes even laugh - because that’s where truth lives.
As a coach, I’ve guided people through change and transition. As a radio host, I’ve held conversations live, under pressure, with honesty and humour. As your celebrant, I bring both: presence, warmth, and the courage to speak your truth.
Some people leave feeling lighter. Some leave feeling empowered. All leave feeling heard, held, and honoured.

A short welcome from Sheila
Hello, I’m Sheila.
Much of my work begins with a simple conversation - listening to people’s stories, helping them reflect on life’s meaningful moments, and creating space for those moments to be honoured.
Whether through ceremonies, coaching, radio conversations, or capturing family stories, my aim is always the same: to ensure people feel heard, supported and understood.
If something important is happening in your life right now, I would be delighted to begin with a conversation.
Heard. Held. Honoured.
At life’s most meaningful moments - whether joyful, reflective or difficult - people often want the same simple thing:
to feel heard
to be held in understanding
and to know their story matters.
That belief sits at the heart of everything I do.
Whether guiding a ceremony, supporting someone through change, or hosting a conversation on air, the process remains the same:
You are heard.
Your moment is held.
Your story is honoured.
This philosophy shapes my work as a celebrant, coach, presenter and storyteller.
Three Ways I Work With People
Celebrant of Life
Honouring life’s defining moments
Through thoughtful conversation and storytelling, I create deeply personal ceremonies that reflect the people and stories at their centre.
From weddings and naming ceremonies to funerals, memorials and life transitions, each ceremony is shaped with warmth, care and authenticity.

Champion of Change
Supporting courage, confidence and reinvention
Life rarely moves in a straight line.
Careers evolve, families grow, priorities shift and new chapters begin.
Through coaching and wellbeing conversations, I support people navigating change and rediscovering clarity, strength and confidence.

Curator of Conversations
Sharing the stories that connect us
As a radio presenter and interviewer, I’ve spent years drawing out extraordinary stories from people across many walks of life.
My role is simple: to listen well, ask thoughtful questions, and create conversations where people feel comfortable sharing what truly matters.
Listen to the Conversations
Many people first meet me through one moment…
A ceremony.
A coaching conversation.
A radio interview.
And often they return again later when life brings another moment worth reflecting on.
A couple I marry later ask me to record their Living Story Archive when their child is born.
A coaching client invites me to speak to their organisation.
A radio guest later asks me to capture family stories for future generations.
Because while the moments may differ, the purpose is always the same:
to pause
to reflect
and to honour what matters most.
Ceremonies for Every Life Moment
I work with individuals and families to create thoughtful, personal ceremonies for life’s most meaningful milestones.
• Weddings
• Funerals & Memorials
• Naming & Renewal Ceremonies
• Retirement & Transition Celebrations
• Divorce Ceremonies & Life Transitions
No matter the occasion, the process is always the same:
You are heard.
Your moment is held.
Your story is honoured.
