“Having Katie hold the space for my baby blessing was a blessing in itself. Her unique ability to create and hold a space is like no other. Her ability to, connect, nurture, love, join, symbolise and capture the energy of such a sacred journey is phenomenal. Thank you Katie – you definitely gave me permission to be held, nurtured and loved by my wonderful tribe.”

“My baby blessing with Katie was just perfect. The set up was so beautiful, focused around the fire and flower wreath with so many beautiful symbols that Katie incorporated into the blessing ceremony. I had all my strong women there around me and Katie gave permission for each of them to get involved as much or as little as they wanted making it really comfortable for everyone. Katie’s warmth and beautiful words really touched and inspired me on the journey forward into birth and parenthood for the second time. I can’t thank Katie enough for her authentic and wonderfully choreographed ceremony.”

“My family and I made a great decision to have Katie speak at my father’s memorial in March last year. Every day I think of how she made such an amazing impact on one of the saddest days of my life. Within 2 minutes, Katie transformed the atmosphere in the room; it was so heart-warming. From that moment, right through to the end of the day it just got better and better. I cannot thank you enough Katie, and would recommend you to anyone.”

“In March 2020 I lost my husband at age 54. He left behind 5 children and 2 grandchildren. As a family we decided to hold a memorial service rather than the standard funeral. We were fortunate enough to have Katie lead our service. Katie invested her time in getting to know my husband through the ones that loved him the most, us. Katie’s dedication, empathy, respect and dignity presented a very loving and peaceful memorial. Katie is a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunty and a friend. Open your heart and be prepared for a very loving and emotional journey.”

“Katie was recently the MC at my mother’s 90th birthday, an event comprising almost 100 guests. At the start of the evening, Kate greeted the band members and showed them where to set up; she welcomed guests on arrival and helped out with some glitches with the slide presentation. In Katie’s warm, welcoming way she helped to set the tone for the evening. Throughout the night, she introduced the speeches and managed the timing for the photographs and cutting of the cake with flexibility as needed. Katie helped turn the evening into a beautiful celebration for my mum. I would highly recommend her services if you are looking for a wonderful celebrant for a special function.”

“Katie from Wholehearted Ceremonies delivered the most beautiful memorial service when my dad passed away. She managed to gather information from each and every family member and use it in the ceremony to bring back happy memories and put the room of people at ease with her calming and loving nature. She also provided me and my family members with a copy of the eulogy and I still pick it up from time to time and reflect on the day, and how well it summed up our dad. It still brings a smile and a tear every time
Katie is so warm and wonderful and I could not recommend her enough as a celebrant for your special day.”

Whilst wishing to celebrate a significant birthday and knowing I didn’t want a party, but rather, an intimate gathering with those closest to my heart. Katie understood exactly wanted even though I didn’t quite know. A meaning ritual which acknowledged how far I had come in life and the blessings I have received along my journey. A womens circle. Katie’s warmth, authenticity and integrity made this significant in so many ways. Anam Caras. This is a celebration I know I will reflect on with joy in my heart for many years to come. Thank you Katie.
