Naming & Welcome Ceremonies
Welcoming a new child into your family is one of life’s most precious moments.
A Naming Ceremony is a beautiful way to celebrate their arrival, honour their place in your whānau, and share your hopes and wishes for their future.
Whether held at home, in your garden, at a park, or somewhere meaningful to your family, I create a warm, joyful ceremony that reflects your values, your story, and the love that surrounds your child.
This is your chance to gather family and friends, acknowledge the important people in your child’s life, and mark this milestone with meaning and heart.
