What Julie does

Aloha! I'm a humanist celebrant, licensed by the State of Hawaii to officiate weddings. I also conduct vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, funerals, memorials and child blessings. All the life events that people like to celebrate.

Humanists, Agnostics, Freethinkers, Atheists, and anyone who calls themself "Spiritual but not Religious" can benefit from Celebrant Services, which focus on the couple's or family's personal values, feelings and intentions. Humanist Ceremonies can speak to all participants and guests, regardless of their religious background, because of the very basic human value approach, centered on the morals and ethics of modern day relationships within the family.

I bring this possibility to couples and families who might otherwise opt for a courthouse wedding or forgo a memorial service, baby welcoming, etc. Many people do not know this service is available.

What Julie does best

I encourage my couples and families to define what their needs and expectations are, allowing them to underscore their values for a solid spiritual core. Yes, humanists are very ethical and moral people! I help to bring out and validate those values.

What does Julie need?

I would like to form a network of other humanists and/or other celebrants.

Locally, I'd like to talk personally with others involved social events such as these humanist celebrations of life.

Globally, I'd like to network online with others in the field of creating and conducting personalized life celebrations, such as weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, child blessings, funerals and memorials.

Education

Aside from formal education, I'm a Certified Celebrant for Funerals and Memorials and have completed many courses of Humanist Studies.

Experience

I conduct over 100 ceremonies per year, each couple or family broadening my human experience.
