Lana´i Weddings

I have been a student of holistic health nearly all of my life. For the past 20 years, my philosophy has evolved around a holistic world view, one that promotes respect for, and appreciation of, the Oneness of Life. This approach emphasizes the integrity of one's body-mind-spirit, as well as our relationship to each other and to the Earth.

Since 1995 I have been serving the community of Lana`i providing holistic health counseling and education. As the spiritual aspect of my work became more predominate, my ordination as a minister was a natural outgrowth.

For one human being to love another human being; that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is mere preparation.

- Ranier Maria Rilke

My wedding ceremony is a non denominational one, focusing on the spiritual aspects of relationship instead of dogma. In this way I can appeal to a wider range of clients. As each couple is unique, each ceremony can be customized to fit their needs. The couple is welcome to write their own vows (or any part of the ceremony) if they are so inclined.

Whether it's just the two of you wanting an intimate ceremony, or your family and friends sharing in your celebration, I will be honored to perform your wedding. Should you need photography or floral suggestions, I can make referrals for you.
