  All You Need To Know™

Cindy became a Celebrant to help people honor the milestones in their lives. And she loves every second of it! Since childhood, she has been drawn to finding the meaning in everyday life events. She earned a B.F.A. from the Massachusetts College of Art, in Sculpture, specializing in fibers and textiles, and a B.A. from Smith College, in Psychology, specializing in language development. Her artwork—photography on fabric, weaving and installation—has been shown in galleries across the United States.

However, it was not until she got married and heard about the Celebrant movement that she knew she had found her true calling. In 2005, she became certified as a Celebrant by the Celebrant Foundation & Institute and earned her licensing as a Massachusetts officiant and interfaith minister. She has composed and performed meaningful life ceremonies with hundreds of families from all over the world since then, and is also the Institute’s longest serving faculty member. Her specialty is getting to know her clients from the inside out, and guiding them to design a ceremony that expresses their uniqueness.

Above all, her professional focus is on helping people discover and express meaning.

From how to survive a wedding to creative suggestions for incorporating cultural traditions into ceremonies, Cindy’s sound advice and contagious passion inspires people to reconnect with themselves and their loved ones as they make and renew their most deeply felt commitments.

Cindy’s writing has been published in the Da Capo Staying Sane series (Staying Sane When You’re Planning Your Wedding, 2007), and she has been featured in local and national media including The Boston Globe, Bride’s Magazine, Boston Spirit magazine, MSN, Massachusetts CNC newspapers, and iParenting Online.
