Celebrant Services

At Sacred Sankalpa, we believe every transition in life, whether tender, joyful, or deeply personal, deserves to be held with reverence, presence, and heartfelt care. As an experienced Brisbane based celebrant, I offer sacred, soulful spaces that honour the richness of your story. Whether you're gathering to celebrate, remember, welcome, or release, each ceremony is crafted with intention and compassion. Together, we co-create a meaningful experience that reflects your values, your connections, and the deeper rhythms of your life.

Every ceremony is grounded in mindfulness, ritual, and respect, acknowledging both the visible and invisible threads that weave through our human experience. There is no “right way”, only your way, and it’s my role and honour to help bring that into being. These offerings are inclusive, heart-led, and tailored to support individuals, couples, families, and communities in honouring what matters most.
