Rites of Passage
Rites of Passage
Many experiences mark a transformation from one phase of life to another: A wedding, the birth or adoption of a child, bridging into youth or young adulthood, or transitioning into an authentic identity or claiming an affirming name...As well as divorce and separation, death, imprisonment, and transitioning into long-term care.

Each transition holds sacred potential for inner transformation, deep joy, and healing. Each transition is as unique as the people involved. I craft meaningful rites of passage that tap into the deepest needs and possibilities embedded in these powerful moments of life transition.
