Ritual and ceremony encompass the fullness of life. Good, meaningful ritual honors your personal story – the song of your soul – while simultaneously placing you into the bigger story of Life.
Life is bursting with moments. Moments that whiz by so quickly you may not even notice them. This is fine for most of our moments.
Some moments, though, call for awe, wonder, and care.
For some moments, we need to pause. Pause for celebration, for commemoration. Pause for the song of our soul.
These moments of pause need ceremony and ritual – creating time and space to celebrate and commemorate an event, alone or with loved ones.
Ceremony and ritual are vital and meaningful ways to mark these foundational, sometimes transformational, life moments. As a certified Life-Cycle Celebrant, I know the many ways ritual and ceremony become signposts in the milestones of each person’s life. As your celebrant, trained in the art of ritual and story-telling, I will listen deeply to your story, desires, ideas, and dreams, transforming them into a ceremony that is as unique as you are, a ceremony that expresses the song of your soul.
The ceremony I create with you will be yours to keep as a forever reminder of your special day. Soul Song Ceremonies is inclusive; it is my joy and honor to serve BIPOC, LGBTQ+, people of all races, and military individuals and families.
I am available for:
- Weddings
- Anniversaries
- Baby Welcomings
- House Blessings
- Retirements
- Memorials
Any life moment may be one that you want to honor with care and nurture. Any moment can call for ritual and ceremony. What is that moment for you?
“Mary is a fantastic officiant! She put together a beautiful welcoming ceremony for our family after we adopted our son. Mary is compassionate and creative, and she was respectful of our wishes through every step of the process. Her care and thoughtfulness helped all of us enjoy the ceremony and create lasting memories that we will always cherish!“
I welcome all people with respect and reverence for the beauty of who they are and how they want to live the one life they have been given. I look forward to hearing your story and creating your amazing, one-of-a-kind ceremony.

SOYL: THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE
Each life is unique, with the richness of the good earth. Each life is full of stories of the events and people who nurtured and shaped the person. Too often, we know only the smallest bits of what has lived and moved within a person to make them who they are. We don’t always get a glimpse of what lies deep within.
Do you want to share your story with your beloved family and friends? Do you want to know more about a person who is dear to you? I can help.
I gather the integral pieces of a person’s life and write their one true story, illuminating the key events and people who formed them. This story will be yours in a keepsake booklet that you will cherish and hand down to future generations.
Don’t wait until it is too late to learn more about your loved ones. Allow me to help you get a deeper sense of the person who means so much to you.
Your life. Your story. Told with love and truth, humor and care, tenderness and beauty. A story for the generations.
