The course of life

I discovered the secular ceremonies in 2012 when my best friend asked me to be her celebrant. After this day, I decided to change my life. I became skilled and I'm now a professional celebrant.

I'm different because I know how this moment is precious for you. I'm able to keep the most important and these little details which make your story so unique.
I'll guide you from our first meeting until the last minute of your ceremony, preventing stress and bad surprises, take care of your speakers, planning every moment of your moment.

Style

I love beautiful words, lovely sentences, sharing emotions. I'm organized and precised.
If I should speak about my style, I would say romantic, sensitive, funny, and believing in love...
There is one main thing: it is your ceremony, your choices, your dreams. It's my job ti make your wish come true...

Experience and training

I studied first psychology at Geneva's University. Them, I taught at school during 12 years. And in August 2012, I discovered the secular ceremonies. I just fell in love with them, there are so great!

Then I decided it has to be my new life. I learnt this new job first with A deux mains tenants, and at the beginning of 2016, Just the way you are - Cérémonies laïques was born.

That was perfect, but there was something missing. I needed to give more sense in your ceremony, that's why I chose to follow the training of Life Cycle Celebrant.

Your ceremony is a unique one: every text is new. I'll write for you the entire ceremony, from the very fist beginning to the last second.

Proposition of readings and music
