You’ve completed your celebrant training — now what?
If you’re feeling unsure about how to take the next step into launching yourself as a Celebrant, you’re not alone. Many newly trained celebrants find themselves stuck between excitement and overwhelm when it comes to starting their business.
There seem to be 101 things on your URGENT list and when you look around you, it feels like everyone else is further ahead and better organised. I remember how that feels. I’ve been there.
Ignite is a supportive, structured, and practical programme designed especially for newly trained celebrants in the UK. This isn’t just theory — it’s actionable, strategic, and tailored to help you start strong.
I’ve packed the training with information that I wish I’d known when I launched my first business almost 25 years ago. And I’ve personalised it specifically for Celebrants from my experience as a Celebrant, and from the last six years training and coaching Celebrants around the UK. You get to learn from my successes and from my challenges, helping you avoid the pitfalls and take advantage of the opportunities.
My Philosophy
Building a successful celebrant business requires more than technical knowledge, it demands authentic connection, strategic thinking, and confidence in your unique voice. My celebrant coaching philosophy centres on honouring your individual journey while providing structured guidance to accelerate your professional growth.
I believe every aspiring celebrant brings distinct perspectives, experiences, and natural abilities that deserve recognition and cultivation. Rather than imposing rigid frameworks, I work alongside you to discover and amplify what makes your celebrant practice distinctive and meaningful.
This training is built around the belief that your voice matters, and that you can use it to create comfort, healing, and meaningful change.

You’ve trained for this. Now it’s time to ignite your celebrant career.
Session 1: Kick-off Strategy Session
Your celebrant coaching journey begins with a focused one-to-one conversation where we establish clear foundations for your business development.
During this initial session, we’ll explore your motivations for becoming a celebrant, identify any concerns or obstacles you’re anticipating, and create a personalised roadmap that acknowledges your starting point.
This isn’t about judgment, it’s about understanding your unique circumstances so we can tailor your learning experience accordingly.
Phase One Modules (Sessions 2-4)
Module 1: Defining Your Celebrant Identity Discover what makes your celebrant practice distinctive by exploring your values, strengths, and the types of ceremonies that truly resonate with you. This session guides you through creating an authentic professional identity that attracts your ideal clients whilst staying true to your personality and beliefs.
Module 2: Building Your Brand Foundation Transform your celebrant identity into a compelling brand that communicates your unique approach to potential clients. Learn how to develop consistent messaging, choose appropriate visual elements, and create materials that reflect your professional personality across all touchpoints.
Module 3: Establishing Your Service Framework Structure your celebrant offerings into clear, valuable packages that clients can easily understand and choose from. This module covers ceremony types, pricing strategies, and service boundaries that protect both your time and your clients’ expectations.
Midpoint Review Session
Halfway through your programme, we reconnect for a comprehensive progress evaluation. This one-to-one session allows us to celebrate your achievements, address any challenges you’ve encountered, and adjust your approach for the remaining modules. It’s an opportunity to ensure you’re building momentum rather than feeling overwhelmed.
Phase Two Modules (Sessions 5-7)
Module 4: Marketing That Feels Authentic Develop marketing strategies that align with your personality and values rather than following generic templates. Learn how to share your celebrant story in ways that attract clients naturally, including social media approaches, networking techniques, and referral systems that feel genuine to you.
Module 5: Mastering Client Consultations Build confidence in client meetings by understanding how to guide conversations, ask meaningful questions, and present your services professionally. This module includes practical techniques for handling common client concerns and creating ceremony proposals that convert enquiries into bookings.
Module 6: Systems for Sustainable Growth Establish operational systems that support your celebrant business without overwhelming your daily life. Learn about client management, ceremony preparation workflows, and administrative processes that allow you to focus on what you love most about celebrant work.
Final Strategy Session
Your programme concludes with a celebratory and forward-focused one-to-one session where we review your complete transformation, fine-tune your launch plans, and boost your confidence for taking your celebrant business public.
This final conversation ensures you feel prepared and supported as you step into your new professional identity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programme accommodate neurodiverse learners?
The Ignite programme is specifically designed to support different neurotypes and learning preferences. Every recorded session comes with multiple format options: full video content, audio-only versions for those who process better through listening, complete transcriptions for visual learners, and condensed summaries for quick reference.
You can engage with materials at your own pace, revisit content as many times as needed, and take breaks when required. During our one-to-one sessions, I adapt my communication style to match your preferences—whether you need extra processing time, prefer written follow-ups, or work better with structured agendas.
There’s no pressure to fit a neurotypical learning model; instead, we work with your natural strengths and accommodate your specific needs.
How much business experience do I need before joining the programme?
You don’t need prior business experience to succeed in the Ignite programme. Many celebrants come from completely different career backgrounds, teaching, healthcare, corporate roles, or creative industries, and bring valuable transferable skills they often don’t recognise.
The programme starts with fundamentals and builds systematically, so whether you’re launching your first business or transitioning from employment, you’ll receive appropriate guidance.
During our kick-off session, we’ll identify the experience you already possess and focus our efforts on areas where you need additional support.
What matters most is your commitment to learning and willingness to take action, not your business background.
What if I'm starting my celebrant business alongside other commitments?
The programme structure recognises that most celebrants build their practice whilst managing other responsibilities.
The self-paced modules allow you to progress through content when it suits your schedule, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekend sessions.
There’s no rigid timeline, some participants complete phases quickly, whilst others need more time to implement each step thoroughly.
During our one-to-one sessions, we’ll discuss realistic timescales that work with your life circumstances, and I’ll help you prioritise actions that create the biggest impact without overwhelming your existing commitments.
The goal is sustainable growth that enhances rather than complicates your life.
What ongoing support do I receive after completing the programme?
Whilst the formal programme concludes after your final strategy session, you’re joining a community of celebrants who understand the unique challenges of building this type of business.
I provide informal check-in opportunities and often share resources that benefit programme graduates. Additionally, many participants find that the systems and confidence built during the six weeks continue supporting their growth long after completion.
The programme is designed to give you strong foundations and problem-solving skills that serve your celebrant practice throughout its evolution. If you need additional support later, I offer follow-up sessions on a coaching basis for specific challenges or business development phases.
Ready to Transform Your Celebrant Practice?
If you’re feeling ready to move beyond uncertainty and start building the celebrant business you’ve been dreaming of, the Ignite programme could be exactly what you need. I understand that investing in your professional development requires both courage and careful consideration—especially when you’re establishing a new business.
To support celebrants taking this important step, I’m offering a special launch investment of £295 (usual price £495) for a limited time. This represents genuine value for six comprehensive modules plus three personalised mentoring sessions that would typically cost significantly more when accessed individually.
I also recognise that cash flow can be challenging when launching any new venture. That’s why I offer flexible payment plans to make the programme accessible without creating financial stress. We can arrange a schedule that works with your circumstances, allowing you to focus on learning and growing rather than worrying about payment pressures.
Your celebrant journey deserves the right foundation. If you’re ready to move from aspiration to action, I’d love to have a conversation about whether Ignite is the right fit for your goals and circumstances.
