Alison was inspired to train as a Humanist Celebrant after 30 years experience in the hospitality industry. As the owner of a much loved pub, (a hub for its community for 16 years), she was experienced in hosting personalised events for all life's significant moments. She enjoyed supporting celebrants and witnessed first hand the difference their thoughtful words or empathetic deeds could make to families in telling a loved one's story or when celebrating life's joyful events. When Alison had the opportunity to pursue a new career, becoming a celebrant was the natural next step.
Alison is also a graduate of Edinburgh college of art and diversified into many creative fields which she continues to pursue today. Alison is a skilled professional, an excellent communicator and listener, with proven organisational skills. With her creative flare and meticulous attention to detail she is ideally suited to creating bespoke ceremonies reflecting the personalities of those wishing to celebrate, to make memories, to add to their own stories or reflect on the stories of their loved ones.
Alison has 3 grown up children of whom she is immensely proud. She lives just outside Edinburgh with her much-loved Cockapoo who always makes her smile.
