Available for weddings in Cork city and County and Kerry


Registered Solemniser and legal Wedding Humanist Celebrant.
Norma lives in Cork and as well as being a Humanist Celebrant, is a psychotherapist and an English teacher. “For me being a celebrant gives a voice to my own belief that all human beings matter and deserve respect and love, whatever their beliefs or circumstances.”
Norma came to Humanism through her work as a psychotherapist where her philosophy is based on a person centered approach where individuals learn to trust and be guided by their own inner compass rather than relying on external evaluation. She believes it is important that those who choose to live their lives without religion should be able to access help in constructing a ceremony around a meaningful life event and to acknowledge life milestones with a sense of occasion and gravitas.
“I feel privileged to be invited into peoples’ lives to help them put together a unique and personal ceremony, be it to welcome a new child into the family, planning to marry, to renew wedding vows or following the death of a loved one. As an English teacher I love words and enjoy helping people to create very personal and meaningful ceremonies to them.”
She conducts many ceremonies including:
She is accredited as a celebrant by the Humanist Association of Ireland.
