Baby Blessing and Child Naming Ceremonies
Marking Life Transitions
To welcome your child to the world and give thanks
A baby blessing/child naming ceremony helps you truly celebrate the  birth of your child and give thanks for the miracle of life. It enables you to formally welcome your child into the family and wider community. This beautiful event creates the potential for all those present to open their hearts and express their wishes and blessings for your child and their life to come.
It is also an opportunity to support the mother and father in their role as parents and acknowledge the sacred role of grandparents, godparents and guardians in offering their love, acceptance and wisdom to the new generation. The ceremony enables significant family members and friends to be included in this process. It is a wonderful way of involving other children from the family in welcoming their new sister or brother into the world. Ceremonies can also be created for older children or to welcome an adopted child into his or her new family.
Each service is unique, created with love and will truly reflect your family’s beliefs and values. As an ordained Interfaith Minister I serve families of all faiths. I have worked with people from a variety of backgrounds which include religious, spiritual and people who have no particular faith.
You may choose traditional or non-traditional prayers, blessings and readings or you may prefer to draw from poetry, literature and music.
I’ll spend time getting to know your family and will explore some clarifying questions with you. This enables me to create a ceremony that truly reflects your needs, beliefs and values, and highlights the special qualities of your child.
You can choose to have this ceremony in your home, your garden or a hired venue. The choice is yours.
