Baby Funeral Celebrant — Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula & Surf Coast
For families across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Surf Coast, the loss of a baby is unlike any other grief. But your baby’s life — however brief — deserves to be acknowledged, celebrated, and tenderly farewelled.
A Baby Funeral Celebrant Who Truly Understands
As well as being a baby funeral celebrant serving Geelong families, I’m also a Registered Midwife. I’ve sat with families in the most tender and heartbreaking of moments, and I understand — not just professionally, but deeply and personally — what pregnancy and infant loss really means.
I know the hopes that came before. I understand the love that doesn’t disappear with loss. And I know how to hold space for grief that the world doesn’t always know how to acknowledge.
When you meet with me, there’s no rush, no script, and no expectations. Just a quiet, steady presence, and someone who genuinely wants to get your baby’s story right.
A Ceremony Entirely for Your Baby
Saying your baby’s name
Spoken clearly, tenderly, and with love — often for the very first time in a ceremony setting.
Honouring your hopes and dreams
The life you imagined and the love you already had, long before your baby arrived.
Symbolic moments
Candles, flowers, keepsakes, or anything that holds meaning for your family.
Music, readings, or silence
Whatever brings you comfort — from a favourite song to a quiet moment of reflection.
Involving your family
Parents, siblings, grandparents — in whatever way feels right and meaningful to you.
Your faith or beliefs
Ceremonies can be non-religious, quietly spiritual, or include elements of faith that matter to you.
Inclusive Baby Farewell Ceremonies for Every Family
I support families of every background, belief, culture, and experience across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Surf Coast. I use gentle, inclusive language throughout, and I take great care to ensure your baby is spoken of with dignity, and that you feel safe, seen, and supported at every step.
I work with families through all kinds of loss — miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant death — and I offer baby funeral ceremonies for babies at every stage of gestation and life.
Honouring a Small Life with Lasting Love
My hope is that when the ceremony is over, you carry something with you — a sense that your baby was truly honoured, that their brief and precious life was acknowledged with gentleness and truth, and that you were held, quietly and carefully, through one of the hardest days of your life.
Organisations such as Sands Australia and Red Nose Australia offer compassionate resources for families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.
