About Nola
I am a long-time resident of Northam, a regional town in Western Australia, with a husband of 45 years, 2 adult children and 2 wonderful grandchildren.
I have retired from a successful career in education as a classroom teacher in towns throughout WA and more recently as a mentor to graduate teachers within the Wheatbelt region.
​
Over many years I have been actively involved in several community organisations holding a variety of management and leadership roles. I currently volunteer as a Track Maintenance Volunteer for the Bibbulmun Track Foundation, as a Tour Guide at the local Pioneer Cottage for the Northam Historical Society and as a Pastoral Assistant in the local Anglican Parish.
​
Because I am based in the Avon Valley of regional Western Australia I am readily available to travel to any location that suits your needs, both metro and regional.

My Experience
I am an experienced and confident public speaker who will bring compassion and understanding to expressing the unique individual story of every couple.
​
As a primary school teacher and pastoral carer, I have
learnt to focus on each person as a unique personality who has their own story and experience that brings them to be the self they are now.
​
I have created many, very varied ceremonies and services over several years, each distinctive to the given occasion.
​
I draw upon the individual circumstances of each celebration as well as the personal, cultural, social and spiritual values of the people for whom the celebration is designed.
​
​My style is professional and relaxed.
