Welcome, I’m Lilli

Sacred Celebrant & Ceremonialist

I create soulful, earth-honouring ceremonies

 to mark life’s thresholds—weddings, farewells, rites of passage, & moments of deep transformation.

Rooted in the elements and guided by heart,

my work supports you in navigating change

with meaning, connection, and grace.

Based in Cape Breton, serving communities

across Nova Scotia & beyond,

I’m here to walk beside you

one sacred step at a time.

We are made of the four sacred elements

Air, Fire, Water, and Earth

Each one holding deep wisdom & energy

for healing & transformation.

These forces live not only around us

in the natural world, but within us as well.

When we engage in ceremony with intention,

we step into a sacred alchemy

that awakens our senses & connects us

to something greater.

Here, we remember what it means

to live with reverence, rhythm, and soul.

"Lilli, you are a beautiful soul—peace and love radiate from you. From the moment we walked into your space, we were wrapped in calm, compassion, and warmth. In the heaviness of losing Bo, you brought light, clarity, and a sense of peace we didn’t even know we needed. You gently guided us through the fog of grief and held space for our pain, helping us find comfort and meaning in such a heartbreaking time. You felt like home to us. You brought healing to our whole family, and we’ll carry that forever. You’re not just someone who helped us—you’re part of our tribe now. We love you."

My Story

 

Sacred Celebrant • Grief Guide • Speaker
One Sacred Step at a Time

For over 30 years, I’ve walked the path of sacred ceremony—holding space for healing, remembrance, and deep reconnection. My work blends ancestral wisdom with grounded presence, helping individuals and families navigate grief, transitions, and life’s most meaningful thresholds.

 

As a licensed funeral director for over a decade, I’ve supported countless souls through the tender terrain of loss. My grief work is both practical and spiritual—drawing from Celtic traditions to guide others with compassion and care, trained in grief rites & hospice with Elders & Teachers from across cultures.

 

At the Sacred Celebrants Academy, I trained with Priestess Dawn Kinsella in the art of crafting meaningful, heart-led ceremonies—refining my ability to hold space through elemental practice, ancestral awareness, and embodied leadership.

From land blessings to soul crossings, from identity reclamation to celebrations of life—I walk beside you in ceremony, holding sacred space for endings, beginnings, and everything in between.

Land Acknowledgement – Unama’ki / Cape Breton

With deep respect and gratitude, Sacred Steps acknowledges that the land on which we live, gather,

and hold ceremony is the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.

This land, known as Unama’ki, is one of the seven traditional districts of Mi’kma’ki,

the homeland of the Mi’kmaq Nation.

We honour the enduring spirit, culture, and teachings of the Mi’kmaq,

and recognize their sovereignty and sacred relationship to this land, water, and sky.

In all that we do, may we walk gently, listen deeply, and act with reverence—

for the ancestors, for the land, and for the generations to come.
