Our Services

Marriage Officiant


No two romances are the same and no two ceremonies are alike. I will work closely with you to design the perfect wedding ceremony that addresses your unique view of marriage. I am open to all beliefs and will tailor your ceremony to be as religious or non-religious as you want!
I want your marriage to be a success, so I include three premarital counseling sessions with our officiating services. Premarital counseling will help you and your future spouse set goals and reasonable expectations for your marriage. We also offer this experience via ZOOM call or FaceTime for the convenience of the couples who can’t make it to our office in Commerce.
We also offer Day of Ceremony Coordinator which will assure that the ceremony will go according to plan.

Funeral Officiant
As funeral services break away from tradition, it’s becoming more common to include personal touches that honor the unique life of a loved one. However, it’s not always easy to know just how to make the service reflect the life it’s honoring. This is where a qualified funeral officiant can help. I can respectively help you celebrate the life of your dearly departed with a home going service that honors their memory.

Personal Development Coach
As a certified life coach, I help my clients improve their relationships, careers, and day-to-day lives. Let me help you clarify your goals, identify the obstacles holding you back, and then come up with strategies for overcoming each obstacle. Contact me to schedule a free preliminary consultation.

Keynote Speaker
As a motivational speaker, I have appeared on podcasts, facilitated workshops, and even shared the stage with legends like Les Brown. Whether your audience wants to be inspired, challenged or entertained, I have plenty of material for a customized keynote, workshop, luncheon, or after-dinner speech. Reach out to me to check my availability.
