I also officiate memorial services, funerals and any other life event you wish to commemorate and celebrate. I'm Wendy Spence, founder of Life's Beautiful Journeys. My life's purpose is to help others in a kind, caring, compassionate manner. Using presentation and writing skills gained through my former careers as a radio announcer and editor-reporter, I will thoughtfully craft and deliver a meani
ngful, memorable ceremony for you. I look forward to helping you and your loved ones celebrate and honour every stage of life during any kind of celebration during life's journey. I'm currently taking an end-of-life doula course to help make that transition as comfortable and beautiful as possible. It is an incredible honour for me to hold space for you and your loved ones throughout the continuum of life whether you're seeking celebration or memorializing the completion of life's journey. I'm an ordained minister registered with the province of Ontario as a wedding officiant. I celebrate inclusion and diversity and work with all individuals to help them curate a beautiful ceremony for their very special sacred event. From traditional to “outside the box”, there's almost no limit to what can be co-created to make this very special time magical and memorable. My service coverage area includes communities within an hour of my home in Dorchester - London, Thorndale, Strathroy, Stratford, Tillsonburg, St. Thomas, Woodstock, Ingersoll, etc. If you're interested in a personalized, meaningful, powerful experience, connect with me by phone or text message at 519-719-6547 or email: [email protected] to arrange a free consultation.
