If someone would have told me a few years ago that I soon would work as an independent celebrant, my response would have been "What's that??" Still deeply focused on a life in theatre, little did I know that soon all the pieces of who I am would fall into place in this role. 

​

I begun working in theater straight out of collage, working as an actress in both big and small companies, co-founding an independent company and writing a few scripts for the stage. After moving from Sweden to Bristol, UK, I begun developing my own artistic concept and called it Spiritual Theatre. It was a way to bring the theatre experience deeper, creating a more facilitated space where the audience had a chance to fully arrive in the moment before the show began and be an integral part of the experience. Noticing the power of bringing people to the now and then taking them on a journey from there, inspired me to start leading ceremonies. Seasonal points, the Celtic Wheel of the Year, birthdays and leaving parties all became occasions to gather, stop and reflect. Moments to meet ourselves and each other and weave magic when softly speaking our intentions, prayers and dreams or releasing and shedding the old to give space for the new. 

After moving to Pembrokeshire, West Wales, these ceremonies started to include storytelling, with original stories crafted for each occasion. Suddenly my theatre and acting experience had found a new format, enabling me to bring the medicine and magic of story and imagination  to new spaces and people.

​

The sunny morning I was asked to lead my friends wedding ceremony, I had the poignant feeling of everything falling into place. It was an opportunity to create a magical moment for people, which has always been my wish, but not just any moment but one of such high value and importance for those taking part. A moment which unfortunately, due to dogmas, high pressure and unawareness of any alternatives can be quite a disappointing one. Or just not near as special and meaningful as it has the potential to be. To use every bit of my experience and creativity to make that moment right and the best possible start to your new chapter, feels like such a beautiful way to be of service and share my gifts with the world.
