Celebrations of life

Sacred Ceremonies & Therapeutic Services

Naming & Bespoke Ceremonies

Naming ceremonies (as an alternative to a Christening) are a wonderful way to welcome a child into the family and community and bestow the name given to them in celebration. Elemental Guardians pledge their commitment to the child in a truly memorable event using the elements of air, fire, water and earth.  

Ceremonies are available for people entering into transitional periods in their life, for example a celebration of sobriety. Clear energies attached to the identity you seek to shed and  step onto a new path. £150.





Wedding & Civil Ceremonies

I am fully qualified to provide civil non-legal wedding and handfasting ceremonies and vow renewals. These sacred ceremonies are truly beautiful events encompassing blessed rituals of our ancestors.

Choose a civil service, hand fasting or hoop and wand ceremony. To celebrate your union, the four elements of air, fire, water and earth are used. You may choose to add ring blessing and incense blending for a special immersive pre-wedding experience. I am here to support the organisation of your unforgettable day. £400+ 

Uncoupling ceremonies are a beautiful way to honour the end of a journey walked together.  We will walk through the four elements and reflect on what was learnt in your coupling speaking respectfully, finally releasing each other with love and compassion from the blessed union. £50 individual, £100 couple


   


Funerals and Passing Over Ceremonies

The essence of the celebration of life continues with  love and compassion in the passing over ceremony. This sacred ceremony can be held towards the end of a person’s life with person preparing for passing, before a funeral, as a memorial, or at any time after the death of the beloved departed. This space is deeply healing and can support transition to peace and soften grief. The ceremony is for individuals or groups of family and friends and can be held at any place of your choice. 

Funeral Celebrant services are available to support and guide you through this altered space in time. The passing of a loved one can be  disorientating and heartbreakingly painful. I will listen, give time to sensitively create with you the best ceremony to honour the beloved departed. £250






Therapeutic               Services

Coaching is about engaging in a specific kind of conversation to help you move towards your preferred future. I've been coaching for over 18 years. I use a solution's focused framework that is goal orientated whilst engaging in powerful questioning to support you on your journey. Coaching is a strengths based approach, you do have the answers. Coaching begins with a free 'chemistry' meeting to see if you are happy to work with me and if I am the right person for you. It last for up to 30 minutes. Coaching can be carried out in person or online. £50- 60 minutes.

Reiki is an ancient Buddhist practice aiding healing on a physical, emotional and spiritual level through working with ki or life energy. It is gentle yet powerful and non invasive.  If you are lost for words in your pain, need gentle healing and support and the  need to beheld in energy, you may consider this. It involves lying on a couch, fully clothed, covered and warm whilst I gently work from head to toe. It is non- touch or light touch. I have been a practitioner for 22 years. £45-60 minutes.

Therapeutic yoga is helpful for connecting with your body, noticing where suffering is held and how it manifests. Gentle breath work, meditation  and movement aid release and letting go. This is helpful if you like to move rather then solely talking through any difficulties. I have been qualified as a yoga teacher for 3 years. £60-75 minutes. 





What people say...

Coaching 

"I can’t put in to words what a profound impact you have had on me in the few sessions that we’ve had. You’re a wonderful coach. The sense of accomplishment in simply reaching a place of peace is indescribable and completely unexpected. Our conversations were difficult in places and some of the actions I chose to do pushed me out of my comfort zone but without it I wouldn’t be able to view things and approach things in the way that I do now."

JL, Newcastle

Reiki

"My first reiki experience was with Annessa when I was very unwell. It relaxed me to the point that I completely forgot about all of the pain I was in. At the time I was also suffering from severe insomnia but during reiki it felt like I could lay there for many more hours. It feels like it removes all negativity from your body and you feel renewed afterwards. Its hard to put it into words how great this experience was. I would absolutely recommend reiki to anyone." 

Abbie, Newcastle

Therapeutic Yoga 

"Thank you so much Annessa, working with you helped me realise that my sons suicide was not my fault. Something has shifted in my grief. I can breathe a little easier, I stand taller in many ways."
