Rituals Without Borders

Janice was an absolute joy to work with! She was incredibly helpful in planning our ceremony, answering our questions, and crafting the perfect ceremony for us. She was very flexible despite having to change our date twice due to COVID. At the ceremony she was so warm and lovely in her delivery and we received so many positive comments from our guests!

Janice conducted our wedding ceremony in 2017 and we cannot say enough. Our vows were as unique as we are, she was able to work in details special to us while still keeping the vows classic and beautiful. She was always communicative and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her warmth, unsurpassed professionalism and pure talent made our ceremony absolutely perfect. We will absolutely be seeking her services in the future to baptize our child and look forward to having her present at our lives great milestones. We cannot recommend her more highly.

Janice is an amazing officiant. I have participated at or observed her officiating at significant life events and it is apparent this is her calling and vocation. She is a calm and professional presence. She is able to develop and facilitate the most meaningful, purposeful, and beautiful rituals that allow her clients to move from one part of their life to another. Highly recommend!

Our grand-daughter needed an officiant for her upcoming wedding. On calling Janice, I found her to be knowledgeable professional kind and compassionate. Her caring demeanor gave me a level of comfort wherein I felt secure in knowing that my grand-daughter and fiance would be in good hands in planning their wedding with her. Janice worked closely with our grand-daughter and her fiance in creating their own personal ceremony. It was most meaningful and everyone felt at ease in Janice's presence.

I’ve have known Janice for many years and have been to a number of workshops that she has hosted, all of which were very well run and meaningful. I always knew that I would want her to be part of any significant ceremony in my life.This year we had the opportunity to have Janice take part in two events that are polar opposites from each other. The first was a funeral for my daughter Carrie who had passed away suddenly and the second was my wedding a few months later.Carrie was born with spina bifida and was 45 years old when she passed. Here health had been on the decline for many years and there had been lots of times that we thought that we were losing her, but she rallied back. Even so, we were not prepared when the end came. With Janice’s help we were able to put together a well thought out, beautiful and meaningful celebration of Carrie’s life. Janice spoke with passion and feeling that was noticed and appreciated by everyone who attended the ceremony.For my wedding Janice provided planning documents that were very easy to work with, gave us options that we probably wouldn’t have thought of and helped us with including reference to my daughter in the ceremony.It was a real pleasure having Janice officiate both events. Her warmth and sincerity were apparent to everyone and many of the guests commented on how meaningful she made both ceremonies, including her enthusiastic call for the rings, that were being delivered by our ring dog at the wedding.We recommend Janice very highly.

In April of 2022 I lost a member of my family and turned to Janice for assistance. With my daughter, Janice created a tribute as a celebrant that was absolutely perfect. She captured the essence of our loved one so succinctly that it provided the comfort we all needed. Her calm, encouraging and patient approach enabled us to organize a memorial and ceremony that fit the occasion and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Janice and would rely on her again. My grief and my gratitude is hard to put into words, so I am enormously grateful that she can articulate what we could not. Allan & family.

Janice was a kind and caring officiant for my Dad's Celebration of Life. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family.

Janice is a creative and highly professional ritual officiant. She designed and conducted a 60th birthday ritual that was impactful and very meaningful. This was a significant milestone and Janice blended a deep review of my life and an opportunity to focus the direction and substance of my life going forward. The ceremony stays with me, even these many years later. We need people like Janice to enhance and strengthen our lives.
